Equipando Padres
Equipando Padres is a program dedicated to providing parents of first-generation-to-college Hispanic students the knowledge and tools necessary to better support their children while earning engineering degrees.
The ultimate goal is to position parents and caregivers as integral contributors to their student’s success. 2023 marked its second year since inception, and 2024 rang in the third. By all accounts it’s been incredibly successful!
The program is now branched into two sub-program offerings:
Equipando Padres Academy is designed for families supporting their children during the transition to college process. Modules cover topics such as Choosing a College, Applying to College, and Paying for College. Nationwide virtual workshops occur monthly. An in-person pilot launched in the Spring of 2023.

Catering to parents of enrolled collegiate students, Equipando Padres University was successfully piloted in Spring of 2024 virtually through a collaboration with University of North Carolina – Charlotte, University of Puerto Rico Mayagüez, University of Texas Rio Grande Valley, San Jose State University, and Wichita State University. This monthly cohort engaged parents through topics including financial literacy, an understanding of health and wellness, and awareness of engineering pathways- all sessions were hosted in English and Spanish by SHPE members, alumni, and university faculty and staff.
