unexplored3,4,5. This paper addresses this literature gap and aims to broaden theconceptualization of engineering identity by studying the development of engineering identity ofLatina/o undergraduates from their perspective and experiences. The forecasted growth of Latinas/os in the United States has encouraged a range ofinstitutions to assess how this shift in population will affect various programs of study especiallythose in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) where Latinas/os arecurrently underrepresented. In engineering, the number of Latina/o students enrolling hasincreased since the 1990s and it is projected to continue to increase, though not at the same rateas the Latina/o population growth.

for revolution operation. Some assessment must be done for each segment or feature to determine whether it should be constructed by extrusion or revolution. However, extrusion is more versatile and should be used when revolution is not suitable. Virtually any solid form can be created by a series of extrusion processes. Cross-sectional view profiles are used mainly in extrusion operation while longitudinal section profiles are used in revolution operations. Use extrusion for simple profiles of polygons, non-symmetrical, and non- rounded segments. Use revolution for externally rounded segments that have complicated internal contours.5.

enhanced by using agile to remain flexible in how courses are designed, delivered, and assessed. Rather than sticking to a rigid plan for delivering X amount of content in Y period of time, deciding upon the critical content areas and structuring delivery to suit learning by the students can be more efficient and effective.  The selection of a set of service opportunities to meet career, departmental, college, and/or university requirements is an essential part of success in academia. A specific service commitment that resembles a project may also benefit from an agile approach when the scope is unclear or adjustable as customer requirements become more apparent.  Reading just a few reference sources

These iterations resulted in a shiftfrom perceiving the design process as an open loop or one-way process, to a closed-loop, openended cycle. Change is constant and applications vary in requirements, therefore the designneeds to be flexible and alterable.The design was brought to Rwanda in November 2014, but not built because of the cost ofmaterial in the country. While it is feasible in Kenya, metal fabrication is not ideal in thesecountries, at least this is the current assessment. Therefore, a wood or concrete box may be morecost effective.
