Given the increasing number of workshops, summits andpublications focused on Women of Color (WOC) STEM academicians, we will presentexperiential perspectives and summarize these efforts for WOC STEM faculty. The subsequentdevelopment of cross-cultural collaborations in a new multi-university NSF-ADVANCE projectentitled, “Launching Academics on the Tenure-Track: An Intentional Community in Engineering(LATTICE)” will also be presented.

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
