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.

这个研讨会的建议侧重于帮助教师，教师，咨询和学生事务人员，以及其他高等教育管理人员从2年和4年西班牙裔服务机构（HSIs）获得更好的理解的因素，最经常有助于西班牙裔学生的学业成功和保留在这些机构类型。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HSIs，是国家的优先事项。STEM劳动力，特别是工程领域的劳动力，非常需要反映在全国人口中。目前的数据表明，进展缓慢。拟议的研讨会提供了重要的研究为基础的信息，旨在通过提高高等教育专业人员的认识，知识和技能水平，与这个学生群体的工作，以提高西班牙裔学生的大学成绩。 针对教师，讲师，咨询和学生事务工作人员，以及其他高等教育管理人员从2年制和4年制的HSI，它提供了巨大的潜力，以产生重要的多样性和扩大参与成果的工程。该项目建议招募工程教师，讲师，咨询和学生事务工作人员，以及其他高等教育管理人员从2年制和4年制的HSI参加研讨会。该项目将支持他们出席年中工程经验的会前会议。提出了多种格式来传递专业发展内容（例如，研讨会形式，包括问答、小组讨论和网络活动）。将利用一个网站广泛传播讲习班的内容。
