belongingwithin the school and the profession. One metric of the success of this outcome is to evaluatestudent retention within CEE. Historically, approximately 50% of the students who matriculate asfirst-year students in CEE end up changing their major before graduation. For this cohort of 60students who took Exploring CEE in fall 2022, only five have changed their major. While this isstill early since this cohort has completed the course, this is still a decrease rate of attrition from asimilar point in previous years. In addition, their personal reflections at the end of each moduleallowed the students to articulate how the course and the associated activities were impacting thebeginning of their academic journey. Even those students who did change

exist from one to another regarding sociability, learning,attention, mood, and other important mental functions [3] – is an important factor to consider.Researchers have begun to explore methods to include neurodiverse student populations tofurther increase diversity and enhance creative problem-solving in engineering [4]-[6][21][22].The inclusive classroom provides the opportunity for success for all students. Re-thinking and re-designing our courses and curricula to provide flexibility and accommodate students’ needs is ofvital importance. Thus, the re-design of the Statics course to accommodate neurodiverse studentshas the potential to be beneficial for all.With the accelerating change of pace in the 21st century, Cropley [7] stated that

The submission options also align with tenets of Universal Design for Learning [46],allowing students to demonstrate their knowledge in preferred ways. The three options were ashort self-recorded video, such as from a phone; meet in-person or over zoom to discuss withinstructor; or a standard write-up. Giving options to the traditional assignment that requiressubmitting a written response may be helpful for students who struggle with grammar, whichsometimes includes international students, for example.In this educational intervention, FWV was added as an option on two assignments. It was ofinterest if students would elect to explore FWV or select the other alternatives. The choices thatstudents

, factors like campus social climate [9], academicmentoring [9], [10], and racial microaggressions [11] can damage their sense of belonging andaffect their future in engineering.We base our definition of Engineering Identity on Hazari et al.’s [12] definition of physicsidentity as the interaction of Recognition, Performance, Interest and Competence in the field ofEngineering. This concept was further investigated by Kendall et al. [13], who studied factorsinfluencing engineering identity of Latinx students by including personal and social identities tobetter understand the development of Latinx students as engineers. An example of the impact ofpersonal and social identities on engineering identity is the research conducted by Revelo aboutthe
