Latin* refers to an individual of Latin American origin or descent, without restricting to a specific gender. The asterisk (*) includes related identity terms such as Latina\/é\/o\/u\/x.There is, however, a rising need to train U.S. students in engineering skills to meet the demands of our increasingly technological workforce. Structurally excluding Latin* students hinders their economic and educational opportunities in engineering. \u003ci\u003eLatin* Students in Engineering \u003c\/i\u003eexamines the state of Latin* engineering education at present as well as considerations for policy and practice regarding engineering education aimed at enhancing opportunity and better serving Latin* students. The essays in this volume first consider, theoretically and empirically, the experiences of Latin* students in engineering education and then expand beyond the student level to focus on institutional and social structures that challenge Latin* students' success and retention. Finally, it illuminates emergent work and considers future research, policy, and practice.\u003cbr\u003e  ","brand":"Lara Perez-Felkner","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43575237345462,"sku":"9781978838673","price":29.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0251\/4980\/0541\/files\/9781978838673.jpg?v=1743764436","url":"https:\/\/combined-academic.myshopify.com\/products\/latin-students-in-engineering","provider":"Combined Academic Publishers - Mare Nostrum Group","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
