approach proved to be very challenging for various reasons, including the following: (1) thecoordinating faculty did not necessarily have the required expertise in all the areas covered byselected student projects; (2) having only four months to complete the senior design project,from idea to product, was not sufficient for students to produce a quality work, prepare therequired documentations, and demonstrate their understanding of engineering knowledge andapply it to practical problems; (3) in many cases, due to lack of time the students had to choose aproject from the existing project pool rather than generating an innovative project idea of theirown.As the result, the Department decided to change the capstone course structure and split it

Prior work has highlighted variousways that access to engineering graduate school is inequitable. Through our collaborativeautoethnography, we investigated how existing inequities harm and impede access for studentswith multiple marginalized identities, such as the first author (KC), while simultaneouslyproviding advantages to students with more privileged identities, such as the second author (RL).As part of our collaborative autoethnography

been assigned specific roles or functions to perform and who have a limited life span of membership [1]. Over the past few years, at the University of Oklahoma, a graduate course titled AME5740 Designing for Open Innovation has been designed, course content and assignments developed and a learner centric paradigm instantiated. Different facets of this course have been described in several publications – most recently in [2], [3]. In these papers, the authors explore the key question: How can we foster learning how to learn and develop competencies? In this paper we document our initial findings as to how far we have succeeded in facilitating students learning how to learn and develop competencies within this course

Overall, the major observations from thisREU were that: given the right environment, i.e. niche, students with ADHD can thrive;engineering research can be a stimulating and ideal environment for students with ADHD; andthe opportunity to learn and interact with peers with ADHD can provide a rich and meaningfulexperience and help their confidence and ability as learners. It was noted that the educationsystem needs to move from the idea of ‘accommodating’ for some, to differentiating for all.Dissemination of these impactful

However, as technological advancements bring attention tonew methods of teaching and learning, many fields have begun to re-evaluate how to best impartknowledge to ensure that graduates are competent and well-prepared for their role in theworkforce. Significant declines in enrollment over previous years have also indicated a need forreform.
