Perceptions of low-income and academically talented students and mentors of [Program Name] - an S-STEM program at a Hispanic Serving Institution

Le résumé fourni par la source

Santiago's research interests include investigating students' understanding of difficult concepts in engineering sciences, especially for underrepresented populations (Hispanic students).She studied the effectiveness of engineering concept inventories (Statics Concept Inventory -CATS and the Thermal and Transport Concept Inventory -TTCI) for diagnostic assessment and cultural differences among bilingual students.She has also contributed to the training and development of faculty in developing and evaluating various engineering curriculum and courses at UPRM, applying the outcome-based educational framework.She has also incorporated the Content, Assessment, Pedagogy (CAP) model to the development and redesign of courses, laboratories, and educational experiences implemented successfully in the course offerings at UPRM.Another research area includes the incorporation of Responsible well-being in faculty and students (undergraduate and graduate).Through an innovative research-based assessment plan, they determined the levels of moral development achieved by participants.In the past two years, Santiago has incorporated theories on social cognitive career choices and student attrition mitigation to investigate the effectiveness of institutional interventions in increasing the retention and academic success of talented engineering students from economically disadvantaged families.Finally, the latest project explores the relationship between the institutional policies at UPRM and faculty and graduate students' motivation to create good relationships between advisors and advisees.
