DCL-HSI MYEE Pre-Conference on Retention and Transition

本研讨会的建议重点是帮助2年制和4年制拉美裔服务机构(HSI)的教师、教师、咨询和学生事务工作人员以及其他高等教育管理人员更好地了解最常有助于拉美裔学生在这些机构取得学业成功和留住他们的因素。努力改善西班牙裔学生的工程教育成果，特别是两年制和四年制HSI，是国家的优先事项。STEM劳动力，特别是工程领域的劳动力，对反映国家人口的需求是巨大的。目前的数据表明，进展缓慢。拟议的研讨会提供了重要的基于研究的信息，旨在通过提高高等教育专业人员与这一学生群体合作的意识、知识和技能水平来改善拉美裔学生的大学成果。面向2年制和4年制高等专上学院的教师、教师、顾问和学生事务工作人员，以及其他高等教育行政人员，它提供了巨大的潜力，可以产生重要的多样性和扩大工程方面的参与成果。该项目建议从2年制和4年制高等专上教育机构招聘工程学教师、教师、顾问和学生事务工作人员，以及其他高等教育行政人员参加研讨会。这个项目将支持他们参加年中工程经验预备会议。提出了多种形式来提供专业发展内容(例如，带有问题和答案的研讨会风格、小组讨论和网络活动)。将使用一个网站广泛传播研讨会的内容。

This workshop proposal focuses on helping faculty, instructors, advising and student affairs staff, and other higher education administrators from 2-year and 4-year Hispanic Serving Institutions (HSIs) to gain greater understanding of the factors that most often contribute to Hispanic students' academic success and retention at these institutional types. Efforts to improve engineering educational outcomes among Hispanic students, especially at 2-year and 4-year HSIs, are a national priority. There is a tremendous need for the STEM workforce, especially in engineering, to be reflected of the nation's population. Current data suggest that progress is slow. The proposed workshop offers important research-based information that aims to improve college outcomes for Hispanic students by increasing higher education professionals' awareness, knowledge, and skill level with working with this student group. Targeting faculty, instructors, advising and student affairs staff, and other higher education administrators from 2-year and 4-year HSIs, it offers great potential to yield important diversity and broaden participation outcomes in engineering.The project proposes to recruit engineering faculty, instructors, advising and student affairs staff, and other higher education administrators from 2-year and 4-year HSIs to attend the workshop. This project will support their attendance to a preconference of Mid Years Engineering Experience. A variety of formats is proposed to deliver the professional development content (e.g., workshop style with questions and answers, panel discussions, and networking activities). A website will be used to broadly disseminate the content from the workshop.
