{"product_id":"9781978838680","title":"Latin* Students in Engineering : An Intentional Focus on a Growing Population","description":"\u003cp\u003eWinner of the American Association of Hispanics in Higher Education Edited Volume Book of the Year Award\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e The growing population of engineering students who identify as Latin* are underrepresented in the field of engineering. 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. Latin* Students in Engineering examines 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.\n\u003cbr\u003e  \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rutgers University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52628729364791,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":731.43,"currency_code":"MYR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.my\/products\/9781978838680","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Malaysia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
