activities that are nottypically seen as “engineering” by engineering culture and curriculum (in opposition to acceptedactivities such as engineering club participation, engineering service, etc.), but that studentsidentify as connected to their goals in engineering. Examples of these activities could includestudents’ participation in competitive or recreational sports, artistic hobbies, and other leisure-based activities, though nearly any activity could be identified in this way by a student.Literature shows that students’ participation in on- and off-campus activities influence their senseof belonging and conceptions of themselves as engineers [1], [2]. Amongst these activities,students are exposed and integrated into cultures of engineering that

By undertaking a systematic literature review, this studyaims to fill this gap, providing a nuanced understanding of generative AI’s current applications,challenges, and future potential in engineering education.[4] The goal is to equip educators,policymakers, and curriculum architects with a solid foundation to innovate curricula that not onlymeet but anticipate the needs of the engineering profession in an AI-centric world [4-7].The evolving industrial landscape, increasingly defined by AI's integration into core engineeringpractices, demands a reevaluation of educational strategies. Traditional pedagogical models mustevolve to incorporate curricula that are both adaptive and anticipatory of rapid
integrating both social and technical knowledge and skills in theengineering curriculum. For example, two key ABET criteria delineate the need for students toapply their technical knowledge to develop solutions to complex world problems which affectpublic health, welfare, and consider global, cultural, social, environmental, and economicfactors. Another instance of such criteria is, “an ability to recognize ethical and professionalresponsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgments, which must consider theimpact of engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental, and societal contexts.” [5].In addition to the academic standards, industry leaders and educators alike emphasize thesignificance of equipping future engineers
these areas. For instance, our discussion of potential avenues for researchersat respective universities to analyze their curricula builds a foundation for extending our workand conducting in-depth examinations in their local contexts. Moreover, leveraging the datasetalongside structural complexity data allows for exploring historical trends. Cross-referencingstructural complexity results with curriculum overhaul plans provides an opportunity to verifythe effectiveness of such changes in improving completion rates [10], [11].It is crucial to note that the structural complexity we've referred to is unweighted structuralcomplexity, wherein the terms in which classes are taken are not considered in the calculation.By extracting curricular design

STEM field involves solving complex problems thatrequire multidisciplinary approaches with effective teamwork [1]. This necessity is reflected inthe curriculum of STEM education, which frequently incorporates project work and groupassignments to simulate real-world challenges. These educational strategies are not just aboutteaching technical skills; they are also about fostering an environment where students learn tocollaborate effectively, share ideas, negotiate solutions, and manage group

not require a lot of effort to identify parts of theproblem as in interpreting engineering problems. Different kinds of symbolic information requiredifferent kinds of processing and place different demands on the students [30]. Similarly,different success criteria for solving mathematics and engineering problem may require adifferent level of evaluating strategies. Solving an engineering problem often requires anunderstanding of the context, understanding the issues and ways to evaluate the process. Studentsneed to identify more involved criteria and constraints in solving engineering problems.The findings of the study may carry implications for teaching and learning improvement in anacademic setting.

This approach provides a framework forviewing neurodiversity as an integral part of human adaptation and suggests that the inclusion ofneurodivergent individuals in STEM fields may enhance our collective potential for innovationfor the benefit of society [39]. We also take a strengths-based approach that emphasizes theassets related to neurodiversity, while acknowledging individual challenges and questioning therigid conceptualizations of “normality” [40].Researcher Perspectives/PositionalityOur motivation and approach to this work is shaped by the personal experiences of severalauthors with ADHD and/or dyslexia, as
