A participant was also in industrial engineering and the materials for this project were shared. ● During the in-person annual meeting with Ichange partners, the conversation related to recruitment was very active. In this space, the activities and efforts of each campus were shared. There was even talk of collaborating on campus recruitment to encourage a stronger pool and an awareness for applications about opportunities. ● Thus far, 241

[26] emphasized the need for additional fundingsources for faculty development, particularly for non-tenured instructors, underscoring theirpivotal role in teaching engineering students. Núñez [2] highlighted the importance of structuralchanges in computing fields within higher education institutions through collaborative effortswith the Latinx community, addressing their unique needs and validating their culture. Theyargued that without such structural changes, the "servingness" mission of HSIs would not beeffectively realized for students.Furthermore, Núñez et al.

One recommendation is to develop astrategic plan that responds to the needs of engineering faculty. This plan can encompassprofessional development sessions, the creation of asynchronous learning modules, guest lecturesby leading experts in the field, and other online resources. Moreover, College of Engineeringleadership can embrace an interdisciplinary approach by collaborating with personnel fromdifferent colleges such as those from education, communications, and technology to developrobust learning experiences for engineering faculty.At a microlevel, the data revealed certain
