reported no difference between the pre- and post-test survey, a0 was given for that question. If a student reported a negative difference between the pre- andpost-test survey, a -1 was given for that question. The tallies were added up and a positive sumcorresponded to a positive progression, a sum of 0 corresponded to no progression, a negativesum corresponded to a negative progression.

study were asked toadminister the pre-assessment and pre-engagement survey before the unit implementation began,and they administered the post-assessment and post-engagement survey immediately after theunit implementation ended. Pre- and post-mean scores were calculated for both measures, andpaired-samples t-tests were conducted to determine if the differences were statisticallysignificant. The analyses were performed using R Studio and IBM SPSS Statistics 28.0.Statistical assumptions were assessed for data normality through skewness and kurtosis values,as well as Q-Q plots. Skewness values for all variables indicated moderate to low skewness,falling between -1 and 1. Similarly, kurtosis ranged between -2 to +2, meeting acceptable criteriafor

An additional survey was created to further measure autism knowledge. The survey wasdeveloped by adapting the Autism Knowledge Survey - Revised (AKS-R)26, Autism AwarenessScale/Survey (AAS)27-29, Autism Spectrum Knowledge Scale General Population (ASKSG)30-31, andresearch from Kuzminski et al. (2019)32. A survey focused on presuming competence and attitudes towards autistic people was created byadapting the Attitude Towards Autism Questionnaire (ATA-Q)33 and the Societal Attitudes Towards AutismScale (SATA)34.

morelikely to engage in the epistemic practice, consider problems in context. This supports priorresearch that has shown empathy to be a skilled developed through user-centered engineeringcontexts [33-34]. Similar, the structure and open-ended nature of the kits to align with anengineering design process elicited engagement in particular epistemic practices such asenvisioning multiple solutions. In the context of this study, envisioning multiple solutions weregrounded in the process of sketching which has been shown to promote the development ofinnovative ideas, building upon ideas, and deeper thinking about their solutions [35].
