With lockdowns and social distancing measures in place, schools,colleges, and universities transitioned abruptly from in-person instruction to online and distancelearning [1], [2], [3]. This shift was particularly challenging for fields such as STEM (science,technology, engineering, and mathematics) which rely heavily on hands-on experiences such aslaboratory experiments, collaborative projects, and practical applications to help studentsdevelop knowledge [4]. Despite now being five years post-pandemic, students continue to struggle with thelingering effects of these disruptions, which have significantly impacted their learningexperiences and skill development.

These elements are critical in addressing gaps for neurodivergent learners and ensuring that digitaleducation environments evolve to meet the needs of all students.Background and Literature Review Neurodiversity reflects the natural variation in cognitive functioning within the human population,encompassing conditions such as autism spectrum disorder (ASD), attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder(ADHD), dyslexia, and other neurological differences. This framework shifts the perspective from viewingthese conditions as deficits to recognizing them as valuable aspects of human diversity. Within science,technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) disciplines, neurodiversity emphasizes inclusive practicesthat accommodate diverse

However, if we are to train the nextgeneration of engineers, providing a background in NLP could help students better understandthe potential and limitations of these powerful tools [3] . Since many first-year engineeringprograms teach MATLAB, python, or similar programming languages, it is a natural home forexploring the topic of NLP with students to lift the veil of mystery around the technology andprovide practical applications of their coding knowledge.This lesson can be used to guide students through implementing Natural Language Processing inMATLAB. At the end of the lesson, students should be able to (a) articulate the major stepsneeded to create a simple NLP program and the associated terminology as well as (b

In my Engineering in History course, I look for ways to (1) help students see theconnections between technological innovation and societal advancement and (2) make learningthe important “facts” more engaging.

[17]. These are in stark contrast to the vast majority ofproblems that engineering students solve which are usually focused on a relatively narrow rangeof technology (e.g., statics or thermodynamics), have only one correct answer, and typically onlyone method to get that answer. However, ill-structured problems are some of the most importantthat students will solve because they are much more similar to the types of problems they willface after graduation. Those problems typically do not have an answer in the back of the bookwhich is one of the reasons why engineers are well-compensated because they must apply whatthey have learned to new and more complex problems than they studied in school. These ill-structured problems can be unnerving to
Electrical Engineering. When James Clerk Maxwell first published “A Dynamical Theoryof the Electromagnetic Field” in 1865, physicists found it difficult to grasp because the theoreticalframework seemed complicated. Mathematicians also found Maxwell’s work hard to understandbecause the equations were described in physical terms. Students nowadays still encounterdifficulty grasping the principles pertaining to electromagnetism due to a lack of intuitivefamiliarity with the phenomena. However, developing this intuition is limited by the 2D nature oftraditional display technologies, which cannot truly convey the three-dimensional (3D) nature ofE&M concepts. Advances in Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) display deviceshold great promise

labs can be overwhelming for neurodivergent students who may bebetter served with anonymous technology, but this also requires additional consideration [23].Peer Assessment of TeamworkPeer assessment of team functioning is well-known in engineering education. Planas-Llado et al.studied the interaction between peer feedback on teamwork and final grades [24]. They foundthat the best-functioning teams tended to rate all the team members equally, which validates themethods described in this work. They found that students who viewed their efforts as positiveand effective rated their team members similarly. Other researchers found that discussing bestpractices for teamwork with students in detail led to better team outcomes [25]. They also foundthat

engineering.The construction of MEAs parallels the development of students’ models; both require iterativeprocesses involving development, modification, and adaptation [17]. To guide the design ofMEAs, the MMP outlines six principles: model construction, reality, self-assessment, modeldocumentation, model shareability and reusability, and effective prototype (simplicity) [7]. In thecontext of engineering education, it is crucial for MEAs to be constructed within authentic andrelevant engineering contexts [7, 23]. Therefore, in order to address an authentic and relevantcontext for this study, we base our framework on the concept of Appropriate Technology [24]which guides our selection of the MEA context.Appropriate TechnologyAppropriate Technology has
