DCL-HSI MYEE Pre-Conference on Retention and Transition

本次研讨会提案的重点是帮助2年制和4年制西班牙裔服务机构（hsi）的教师、讲师、顾问和学生事务工作人员以及其他高等教育管理人员更深入地了解这些机构类型中最常有助于西班牙裔学生学业成功和保留的因素。努力提高西班牙裔学生的工程教育成果，特别是在2年和4年的hsi，是国家的优先事项。对STEM劳动力的巨大需求，特别是在工程领域，要反映出国家的人口。目前的数据显示进展缓慢。提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的意识、知识和与该学生群体合作的技能水平，提高西班牙裔学生的大学成绩。针对2年制和4年制hsi的教师、讲师、顾问和学生事务工作人员以及其他高等教育管理人员，它提供了巨大的潜力，可以产生重要的多样性，并扩大工程领域的参与成果。本项目拟从两年制和四年制高等教育学院招募工程学院教员、讲师、顾问和学生事务人员以及其他高等教育管理人员参加研讨会。该项目将支持他们参加“中期工程经验”会议。提出了多种形式来提供专业发展内容（例如，带有问答的工作坊风格，小组讨论和网络活动）。一个网站将用于广泛传播讲习班的内容。

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.
