In response, a few higher educationinstitutions have introduced programs allowing or encouraging doctoral students to engage withthe industry during their academic training [3-5].Evaluation of these initiatives has shown that students benefit significantly from practicalindustry involvement, gaining skills through internships that enhance their understanding ofindustry operations and, consequently, improve their employability.

Aspiral curriculum describes an approach to the design of the curriculum that is built on thisidea. Thus, in this example the students meet the concept on several occasions during theschooling and on each occasion more material is added to the understanding of the concept.Graduate student teachers including scientists and engineers find it difficult to defineattributes and values but the evidence is that when they are forced to think about thedominant features of a concept they find it to be an aid in the planning and implementation ofa lesson.

Howeverthe report questions this approach, defining the value of practical work early in the curriculum:“Practical engineering work is essential for the freshman not only because it appeals to hisprofessional ambition, arouses his enthusiasm, and gives him training in practice, but alsobecause it helps him to master the theoretical work more fully and more quickly.” (p. 88).Despite the emphasis on practice, engineering programs are distinguished from the moreapprentice-based model of medicine and law by their academic character: “In engineering, onthe other

Latinos/as/xs have been framed as individuals that are unable tosucceed in academic spaces because of inherent deficits and thus unable to accommodate tothe demands of American exceptionalism [2]. Engineering is no exception to this deficitframing of Latinos/as/xs. In fact, engineering has a long history of discrimination towardminoritized groups that is still present today in engineering programs [3]. For instance,Latino/a/x engineering students still contend with the enduring repercussions of deficitideologies, racialization, and a process of assimilation through subtractive schooling [4, 5].Engineering has, too, embraced an educational
