. Camacho is Professor of Sociology at the University of San Diego. She began her career at UC San Diego in 1999 as a postdoctoral fellow at the Center for US Mexican Studies, and later as a UC Faculty Fellow in Ethnic Studies. In 2015-16, she returned to UC San Diego as a fellow of the American Council on Education. As a bilingual/bicultural Latina, Camacho has 30 years of experience in higher ed- ucation advocating for underrepresented groups and first generation college students. For over a decade, her work on institutional transformation has received funding from the National Science Foundation to examine and address inequities in higher education, specifically as they relate to Science, Technology, Engineering and

The purpose of this paper is to 1) catalogue data sources that collectSTEM-related information at a national level, and 2) critique their usefulness as it relates toinforming efforts aimed at broadening participation of underrepresented racial/ethnic groups inengineering. To this end, we identified and reviewed

Seeing [historical and cultural site] gave me a broader spectrum of what engineering is. Engineering is more than programming and developing software. I knew 12 this, but seeing [historical and cultural site] reopened my eyes since I have had such a focus on software for the past year.

This again demonstrates an asset-based approach andpersonalizes support for students. Students who are alternately admitted will be educated about the Complete Engineer and directlysupported in connecting with related opportunities to work toward their academic and career goals whilebuilding a strong professional skill set.Baseline Data: Survey of Underrepresented Students

Three types of influences affectingmathematics placement and major selection emerged: family influences, academic influences,and social influences. In this study, we define family influence as “the ways family membersaffect a student’s persistence in education, choice of major, or choice of institution.” Familymembers
