overviewThis investigation is the result of a broader collaborative, multi-institutional mixed methods studyexamining the existing engineering education efforts and needs at Hispanic Serving Institutions. Inresponse to the National Science Foundation’s (NSF) Dear Colleague Letter: Improving UndergraduateSTEM Education in Hispanic Serving Institutions (HSIs), this broader project seeks to uncover the non-obvious needs and existing successes at HSIs that can be addressed and amplified in future NSFinitiatives to improve undergraduate engineering education. To determine these non-obvious needs andopportunities, the project team convened multiple workshops with individuals not necessarily conductingengineering education research, but engaged in

Our NSF ADVANCE Leadership Award wasa three year initiative focused on connecting a group of over 120 URM women engineeringfaculty; it was collaboration between faculty in engineering, educational psychology and adulteducation. A series of four professional development peer mentoring summits were convened atNorth Carolina State University (NCSU) and California Institute of Technology. The summitstook as a premise the fact that the utilization of peer faculty groups to coach, mentor, encourageand advise each other can have a positive role in the success of individual faculty.In the first year, 70 women attended a 2-day summit convened at NC State for all engineeringdisciplines.
