Research summary
AI-generated

Dina Verdín's research examines how students from underrepresented backgrounds—particularly Latinx, first-generation, and migratory students—develop identities and a sense of belonging in engineering education. Her work looks at how factors like cultural knowledge, mindset, and institutional support (or lack thereof) at Hispanic-Serving Institutions shape students' persistence and career aspirations in engineering. She often uses qualitative and mixed-methods approaches, including narrative inquiry and culturally responsive frameworks, to study equity issues in STEM education.
