SUMMARY:MSE Seminar: "What Is Hidden Curriculum and What Does It Mean for O
 ur Engineering Students?"
DESCRIPTION:Idalis Villanueva Alarcón\nAssociate Professor\, Department of
  Engineering Education\nUniversity of Florida\nDr. Idalis Villanueva Alarc
 ón is an Associate Professor of Engineering Education at the University 
 of Florida. In 2019\, she received the Presidential Early Career Award for
  Scientists and Engineers (PECASE) award for her NSF CAREER project on hid
 den curriculum in engineering. She has a B.S. degree in Chemical Engineeri
 ng from the University of Puerto Rico at Mayagüez and an M.S. and Ph.D. d
 egree in Chemical and Biological Engineering from the University of Colora
 do-Boulder. Also\, she completed her postdoctoral fellowship from the Nati
 onal Institutes of Health in Analytical Cell Biology in Bethesda\, Marylan
 d and worked as a lecturer for two years before transitioning to a tenure 
 track in engineering education. Her experiences as a first-generation engi
 neer\, Latiné\, woman of color\, introvert\, and mother have shaped the l
 ens and approaches that she uses in her research and practice. She hopes h
 er work will not only challenge normative ways of knowing but also challen
 ge new ways of research scholarship and practice.\nAbstract\nIn engineerin
 g\, the issue of underrepresentation continues to be a topic of high debat
 e amongst engineering departments in the U.S. and internationally. While t
 here have been many approaches to tackling this issue\, one underexplored 
 area is around hidden curriculum.\n\nThe hidden curriculum of engineering 
 is a relatively new concept and describes the (un)intentional\, explicit\,
  or implicit messages that are systemically transmitted and structurally s
 ustained and supported. These hidden messages cue to people different less
 ons about their environment and their overall sense of belonging and influ
 ences subsequent decisions and actions (e.g.\, persistence\, retention).\n
 \nA mixed-methods study was conducted across 58 colleges of engineering fo
 r undergraduates\, graduates\, and faculty across the United States and Pu
 erto Rico between 2018 and 2020. The results of the session revealed many 
 differences across gender\, race\, and institutional type and role.\n\nThi
 s session will introduce the audience to the concept of hidden curriculum\
 , how it is perceived by faculty and students and how an individual’s re
 sponse to the acquired hidden curriculum may serve to reinforce or mitigat
 e the status quo in engineering. The talk will culminate with some suggest
 ions and strategies to mitigate the negative outcomes of hidden curriculum
 .
