Our study uses an identity lens to understand Latinx persistence in engineering.Theoretical Framework and Literature Review We draw from a sociocultural theory of identity [5] - [7] to understand how Latinxengineering students see their trajectory through engineering studies and how they decide onnext steps, whether it be entering the engineering workforce or pursuing graduate school. Briefly,this perspective argues that identities are situated in social and cultural worlds that are populatedby social types that members of those worlds recognize as meaningful, i.e., their actions and theiruse of cultural artifacts such as words, images or texts [8]. Literature over the past decade indicates that developing

They also dislike frustration and unnecessarydifficulty, which can lead to resentment if something seems difficult without reason. Because ofthis, the teacher can help students understand how learning works and point to specific ways theclass structure and their study habits can help the learning process. For example, the practice of“flipping the classroom,” where students go learn on their own and then meet together with

Having students experience lean manufacturing concepts in the laboratory canhave a positive effect on the experiences offered to the students prior to them entering theindustrial setting. It is important that faculty provide students with the experiences thatdevelop a strong conceptual framework of how this management practice will benefit theindustry in which they work. Many of our students learn best when they are actively engaged in activities thatemphasize the concepts that we are trying to teach.

Developing extensions or toolkits for software thatthe students will use after graduation seems more appropriate than developing complete softwarepackages that will only be used by students in an educational environment. Because of the needfor thermochemical functions for the widely used computational tools, functions were generatedto evaluate the thermodynamic properties of air and the thermochemical properties of twelvespecies of the CHON system in MathCAD.Each computational analysis package has strengths and weaknesses when compared to theothers.

Structural reasons are often blamed for this, especially among thosefemales who are balancing a family with a career19,20. For example, a mother who cannot worklate because she must pick up her children from school may appear less dedicated to her job andthereby be passed over for promotion.
