Educational innovation and culturally responsive teaching are already happening in engineering at Hispanic-Serving Institutions. These institutions are redefining “servingness” of diverse populations in higher education, particularly Latinx students. We believe that instructional faculty in engineering are central to "servingness", innovation, and culturally responsive teaching at HSIs. Our goal is to amplify and further develop engineering instructional faculty (EIF) as leaders in student-centered educational innovation at the undergraduate level.
Towards this goal, we leverage principles of human-centered design, empathy building, and action research to provide instructional faculty opportunities to share their passions, ideas, and innovations and participate in the development of one another through a collaborative, supportive learning community. Ultimately, we seek to collaboratively foster multicultural and student-centered approaches to engineering education at HSIs that empower and celebrate its diverse educators and students.
To guide our work as we seek to achieve our mission and vision, we aim to uphold and promote the following guiding principles in our actions and decisions:
