, such as increased retention [7], predictions oflower time-to-graduation rates [8], improved math skills or readiness [9], and general collegereadiness [5].Based on the unique needs at Tennessee Tech University, the RAMP program was developedwith several goals. The highest priority was advancing math knowledge; it was important as well © American Society for Engineering Education, 2023to increase students’ self-efficacy in math, as studies have shown that when students’ self-effi-cacy increases, their performance increases [10]. Moreover, the program was developed to pro-vide incoming freshmen with a way to engage, to get involved, and to gain a sense of belonging,as evidence suggests a strong correlation between these

are) but they are worth fewer points each andstudents can easily attain the points by completion of assignments and by exploring other opportunitiesfor learning (Solid Professor/LinkedIn Learning). This can be perceived as a gamification of theclassroom through use of a points system where students start at zero and “earn” points by completion ofassignments rather than “lose points” through larger stakes grading. These assessment strategies supportStudent Centered Learning which leads students to be more autonomous. Students tend to perform betterwhen they feel more in control of their learning. Student-centered learning also increases studentmotivation and self-efficacy[8].Mid-Semester EvaluationWhile end-of-semester evaluations allow

questions guided this study to understand the neurodiverse workers'feelings of self-efficacy. Specifically, the post analyzed elicit 1) What problems do neurodiverseusers usually raise about their workplaces or workspaces? 2) What strategies do they use toovercome job challenges?3. MethodologyIn this paper, we use techniques covered in two courses: Human-computer interaction (AIT716)and Information: Representation, Processing, and Visualization (AIT664) at George MasonUniversity.These courses are designed for graduate students in engineering school and the techniques used inthese courses are applied to a wide range of large-scale domains including machine learning [8],[9], social media analysis [[10] and user study [[11], [12]. However, in this
