recognizing and allowing flexibility in week-to-week strategies - Changing the conversation of research success from “research output” and “productivity” to “learning objectives” and “learning outcomes” - The ultimate goal is dissemination of knowledge which can be through the publication or presentation of research. Therefore, students are encouraged to learn something and then teach others what they learned to promote dissemination of their researchEvaluation StrategyGiven the range of strategies that mentors use to promote more thriving neurodivergent students,our evaluation strategy must account for this breath of strategies and depth of experience.

For those working in academia, workshifted away from research and teaching activities involving face-to-face interactions withstudents and colleagues or access to specialized facilities/laboratories in order to conduct theirwork. The burden of transitioning work to a fully online environment led to respondentsreporting that the pandemic shifted the focus of their work away from research/writing
research, and early indications that students areable transfer skills into subsequent design courses.IntroductionSmith, Wankat, and Froyd [1] point out in their analysis of historical trends in engineeringeducation, that while design has been important since the turn of the last century [2], theemphasis on teaching design has been increasing in engineering degree programs. In part this isdue to ABET’s requirement of a culminating design experience following the shift to EC-2000about two decades ago [3]. The resurgence of design is also due to: a recognition that designcourses can address a broad range of transferable skills thought important for graduates [4],design and problem solving align with the epistemological stance of engineers [5], the
forms of interdependence. These views of how expertise operates in team5settings treat expertise as something that is both easily identifiable within individuals and roles,and something that can be applied discretely to a particular task or problem. Indeed, over timedisciplines, professions and roles become affiliated with particular forms of expertise and assertjurisdiction over particular tasks and work roles (Abbott, 1988). However, these frameworks regarding the utilization of expertise in group settings relyupon assumptions about the practice of expert work that may not match how individuals operatein STEM laboratory settings. These perspectives start from a common fundamental assumptionthat experts know and/or have the tacit
