Abstract

STEM programs and companies continue to struggle to find and retain talent from underrepresented minorities. This is often due to difficulty retaining these students in university programs, despite similar initial enrollment rates. Students of Hispanic descent are the fastest growing group of students in the United States education system. As more Hispanic students begin to study STEM and more universities become Hispanic-serving institutions, STEM curricula should adapt to better serve this group. In this article, we discuss how prominently including the work of minority scientists and engineers in the classroom can bolster students of color. Next, we re-introduce the work of noted Hispanic scientists Luis Miramontes and Mario Molina and technology from ancient Mesoamerican cultures. Finally, we show how educators can easily use these scientists’ work to increase representation in coursework without drastically changing their lecture notes.

西班牙裔在化学工程方面的卓越表现:课堂上的实际例子
STEM项目和公司仍在努力从未被充分代表的少数族裔中寻找和留住人才。这通常是由于很难在大学课程中留住这些学生,尽管最初的入学率相似。西班牙裔学生是美国教育系统中增长最快的学生群体。随着越来越多的西班牙裔学生开始学习STEM,越来越多的大学成为为西班牙裔服务的机构,STEM课程应该适应更好地为这一群体服务。在这篇文章中,我们讨论了在课堂上突出少数族裔科学家和工程师的工作是如何支持有色人种学生的。接下来,我们将重新介绍著名的西班牙裔科学家Luis Miramontes和Mario Molina的工作,以及来自古代中美洲文化的技术。最后,我们展示了教育工作者如何可以轻松地使用这些科学家的工作来增加课程作业中的代表性,而无需大幅更改他们的课堂笔记。

期刊介绍: Education for Chemical Engineers was launched in 2006 with a remit to publisheducation research papers, resource reviews and teaching and learning notes. ECE is targeted at chemical engineering academics and educators, discussing the ongoingchanges and development in chemical engineering education. This international title publishes papers from around the world, creating a global network of chemical engineering academics. Papers demonstrating how educational research results can be applied to chemical engineering education are particularly welcome, as are the accounts of research work that brings new perspectives to established principles, highlighting unsolved problems or indicating direction for future research relevant to chemical engineering education. Core topic areas: -Assessment- Accreditation- Curriculum development and transformation- Design- Diversity- Distance education-- E-learning Entrepreneurship programs- Industry-academic linkages- Benchmarking- Lifelong learning- Multidisciplinary programs- Outreach from kindergarten to high school programs- Student recruitment and retention and transition programs- New technology- Problem-based learning- Social responsibility and professionalism- Teamwork- Web-based learning
