adoption of this IDEO model in CIP reflects a more entrepreneurial- andinnovation-oriented mindset for the evaluation of clinical needs.Revised and Advanced Senior Design: BME SD is a required, continuous, two-semester, Fall-Spring academic sequence. Historically, SD accepted projects from a variety of projectsponsors, including faculty within and outside engineering, clinicians, and local industry.Accordingly, a substantial portion of the SD sequence (~25%) was devoted to conductingrelevant background research, analyzing commercial alternatives, evaluating intellectualproperty, and crafting a needs statement to represent the scope of the work. Beginning in theFall of 2022, we revised SD to also accept projects based on needs identified in CIP

Theseideals were reflected in the number of mandatory credits needed to complete for graduation,which included humanities and social sciences as core engineering subjects. Employingproject- and problem-based learning, students were encouraged to integrate design-thinkingand an entrepreneurial mindset. As noticed and emphasized (Bashir, Hahn, and Makela 2019) in the US context, Iwould like to point out that it is too important to emphasize to have like-minded communitiesof practice that support faculty-driven innovative teaching methods.

ultimately go out of business. However, that isnot the case in engineering education. Innovation is harder to evaluate in academia. In industry,businesses often quantify the amount of revenue generated from new products and serviceswhich can be directly measured. Teaching students to have an entrepreneurial mindset is muchmore challenging to assess. The longer-term measure is the productivity of a program’sgraduates as practicing engineers. Besides measuring innovation, it is difficult to incorporate intothe curriculum, other than in capstone projects. However, it is too late in the curriculum to saveinnovation for the final year of a program. It needs to be taught regularly throughout theprogram, although not necessarily in every course.An aspect

students are supposed to utilize MS Office and MATLAB to complete those assignments. There are weekly lab quizzes, two midterms, and a comprehensive final exam. Lab assignments are predominantly assessed for technical writing goals. Students are required to deliver executive summaries, lab reports, lab memos, and project notebooks. Participation grades are given to encourage attendance and class discussions and interaction with the instructors.Second Semester Course - Fundamentals of Engineering II Curriculum: Students continue to explore engineering disciplines in this course by learning about graphic design, 3D modeling, and spatial visualization.

confidence was critical for this participant: I think I just got the hang of it…I was like “Oh, maybe I can do this” because it seems my skills are up to par now…it was more like I knew that my skills weren’t there [initially] to be able to pursue AI/ML. But then afterwards once I had those skills because I was forced to [develop them] from the engineering curriculum, I realized that I could do it...However, for some, perseverance was not enough to develop these skills. The following individualrecognized their perseverance and growth mindset, but felt it wasn’t enough: I felt like I’ve been around people who I feel like have this better natural ability than I do, but I’m willing to like to put in the time and effort to try to do

For example, research suggests that internships serve as away to build technical, leadership, and entrepreneurial skills [18]. Although postsecondaryeducation and engagement in WREAs contribute to broad human capital and aid in developingan individual’s critical thinking, skills are environmentally contextualized in how they form andare employed [28]. As such, we should strive to think of soft skills, such as communication andleadership, within the context of the environment in which they form to adequately understand astudent’s ability to navigate an

biomedicalengineering program found that story-driven learning assisted with the development of students’self-concept clarity (Morgan et al., 2021). Moreover, the course was designed to help targetanother intended outcome: entrepreneurial mindset (EM). EM not only regards the developmentof students’ engineering skill set, but to also automate the use of that skill set to create value forthemselves, others, and society as a whole. The entrepreneurial mindset involves the constantintention to create value, coupled with curiosity and a desire to make connections acrossseemingly unrelated information (Morgan et al., 2021). As such, EM cuts across both self-concept clarity and leadership outcomes to foster students’ holistic personal and

Instructors’ Mindset Toward NeurodiversityMultiple studies have investigated instructors’ views about and their preparedness to teachstudents who vary in terms of their needs, abilities, and interests. These studies show that facultylack awareness of the legal requirements related to accommodations [13]-[15], lack knowledgeof inclusive pedagogies [16], and that they want more training related to accessibility [17].STEM faculty have also been shown to be less amenable to the use of accommodations in theircourses and to hold more negative beliefs than their counterparts in other academic disciplines[18]-[20].

By integrating these two perspectives, it is possible to gain a morecomplete understanding of how shared knowledge and beliefs shape societal attitudes andpractices related to neurodiversity. This can help to create a strength-based mindset thatrecognizes the unique abilities and contributions of neurodiverse individuals and works toinclude them in all aspects of society.In summary, Epistemic community theory can provide the technical understanding ofneurodiversity while the collective unconscious can provide the cultural and psychologicalunderstanding of societal attitudes and perceptions. Together they can provide a framework forpromoting
