Homero is interested in understanding how to develop effective and culturally relevant learning environments that can promote the sustainable competencies engineering students require to succeed in the contemporary workforce. His goal is to develop engineering education practices that value the capital that traditionally marginalized students, bring into the field. Homero aspires to change discourses around broadening participation in engineering and promoting action to change. Homero has been recognized as a Diggs

Consistent feedback from campers shows that these strategies are effective inreaching students and teaching them about engineering.Given these effective strategies, it is also important to look at the camp demographics to insurethat this outreach is also having an impact on underrepresented groups in engineering. For 2008the overall ethnic demographic was African-Americans 20% and Hispanics 13% with theremainder of students White or Asian. While we would still like to increase these percentages,they are reasonable in terms of the

In other words, having work experience made students’ imagesof work more specific, while at the same time shifting them from the hopeful to the mundane. Inaddition to direct work experience, the authors note that students can gain familiarity withprofessional engineering work through their coursework or from family members who areengineers. With a few exceptions, this hopeful-to-mundane pattern characterized thedevelopment of students’ images of work during the course of their education.In this prior work authors described the images of work of students while they were still incollege, leaving open the question of how those images evolve when students pass the

The National Science Foundation (NSF) hasplayed an important role in this regard through its NSF ADVANCE Program. This is a fundingprogram aimed at understanding and addressing gender-based inequities – and their interactionswith race/ethnicity – in academic STEM fields. The University of X (UX) has received two NSFADVANCE grants. The first is a smaller PAID grant to develop workshops and resources onfaculty recruitment and on formal mentoring for engineering and the natural sciences at UX.4The second is an ADVANCE Institutional Transformation (IT) grant.
