This award is funded in whole or in part under the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (Public Law 117-2)The development of a Research-Oriented Learning Experiences (ROLE) program at New Mexico State University (NMSU) will provide Latino/a college students with the tools and knowledge required to succeed in Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) majors in particular, and in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM)-related degrees in general. ECE is a field of great relevance for our modern society, and where Latinos/as are commonly underrepresented. This project will encourage Latina undergraduates to participate in high-impact research-oriented educational activities, where they will conduct research in collaboration with Latino/a graduate students and ECE faculty, leading to pathways to graduate programs. This project will also train Latino/a graduate students to mentor a selected group of undergraduates, in order that they can strengthen and refine their mentoring and leadership skills, which are very useful in STEM-oriented academia and industry positions. The involvement in research and mentoring activities will help increase students’ engagement and leadership, realizing the importance and value of their engineering degree, and consequently, develop a strong sense of belonging to their major and campus. The benefits of ROLE are two directional; on the one hand, higher degree interest and attainment will increase for Latina undergraduate students in ECE; and on the other hand, Latino/a graduate students will feel better prepared to occupy leadership positions within their field either in academia or the private sector. By focusing on Latinos/as, a population relevant for the demographics of NMSU, this research project will produce outcomes aligned with the mission of the NSF’s Broadening Participation in Engineering (BPE) program, that are scalable, sustainable, and applicable to various contexts, settings, and demographics within Engineering and Sciences.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

该奖项由2021年《美国救援计划法》（公法117-2）全部或部分资助，开发了新墨西哥州立大学（NMSU）的面向研究的学习经验（角色）计划（角色）计划（NMSU），将为拉丁裔/大学学生提供在电气和计算机工程（ECE）硕士学位，尤其是科学，技术，工程学的工具和数学的工具和知识所需的工具和知识。 ECE对我们的现代社会是一个非常相关的领域，而拉丁裔/通常代表不足的领域。该项目将鼓励拉丁裔本科生参加高影响力的研究教育活动，在那里他们将与拉丁裔/A研究生和ECE教师合作进行研究，从而通往研究生课程的途径。该项目还将培训拉丁裔/研究生，以指导一组选定的本科生，以便他们可以增强和完善其心理和领导能力，这在面向茎的学术界和行业职位上非常有用。参与研究和心理活动将有助于提高学生的参与度和领导力，意识到其工程学学位的重要性和价值，因此，会产生强烈的归属感。角色的好处是两个定向。一方面，ECE的拉丁裔本科生将增加更高的兴趣和成就；另一方面，拉丁裔/A研究生将为在学术界或私营部门的领域内占据领导地位而感到更好。通过专注于与NMSU人口相关的人群，该研究项目将产生与NSF扩大参与工程（BPE）计划的使命相符的结果，这些计划可扩展，可持续性，适用于各种环境，通过各种环境和人口统计学的依据来反映了NES批准，并且已代表NSF的宣传，并且已经宣布了NSF的宣传。智力优点和更广泛的影响审查标准。
