academic and professional futures.3. Course Design and ObjectivesThis course is a small component of a Title V project, the City Tech STEM SuccessCollaborative, funded by the US Department of Education, aimed at enhancing retention,graduation rates, and workforce readiness among Hispanic and low-income students interested inSTEM fields. The project emphasizes the early academic support and integration of academicresources to foster career awareness, engagement, multidisciplinary collaboration, hands-onproblem-solving, and alignment with current industry practices. This initiative aims to streamlinethe educational journey, minimizing time to degree completion and reducing the accrual of non-contributory credits.Course objectivesThe 'Exploring

Enjoyment, Hope,Pride, Anger, Anxiety, Shame, Hopelessness, and Boredom, revealing significant insights into theemotional states of the students, see Figure 2. The median scores, indicated by the lines withineach box, suggest varying central tendencies across these emotions. Notably, Enjoyment and Hopeappear to have higher median scores, indicating a generally positive emotional state among theparticipants. In contrast, emotions like Anxiety and Shame show lower median values, reflectingless intense emotion types. Figure 2: Box plots for Emotion TypesRegression resultsA multiple regression analysis was conducted to explore the predictors of motivation. The modelincluded eight predictors: enjoyment, hope, pride, anger

injury [5-8]. A variety of mental conditions arealso variously included under the umbrella of ND, including anxiety and depression [5]. Someresearch explores specific conditions, while other research has included ND students under theterm ‘non-visible disabilities’ [9] The underdiagnosis of conditions like ADHD among femaleshas been documented [10-11], so individuals may identify as ND without a formal medicaldiagnosis. Mirfin-Veitch et al. [6] state that “neurodiversity is not a diagnosis, rather it is a broadterm used to encompass a wide range of specific, non-specific, hidden and/or undetermineddiagnoses” (p. ii). The framing for this study aligns with this definition.Neurodivergent students may differ from their NT peers in various

corresponding insights thatdescribed successful implementation of experiential learning that might serve as considerationfor future implementation for engineering educators and researchers. These four key insightsinclude: 1.) Relevance and collaboration with stakeholders, students, academe, industry, andsociety, 2.) Students engagement and ownership, 3.) Scaffolding and integration across levels,and 4.) Importance of assessment.IntroductionWhile experiential learning has long been considered part of engineering education since themid-1950s [1] systematic review articles have been limited in their scope and coverage years.One of the most comprehensive studies documenting experiential learning in engineeringeducation was published in 1976 by Harrisberger

Engineering Education at the University at Buffalo. She was the first doctoral student to get a Ph.D. in Engineering Education from the University of Cincinnati. She also has a Master’s degree in Aerospace Engineering from the University of Cincinnati and a Bachelor’s degree in Aerospace Engineering from SRM University, India. Her research areas of interest are graduate student professional development for a career in academia, preparing future faculty, and using AI tools to solve non-traditional problems in engineering education. She is currently also furthering work on the agency of engineering students through open-ended problems. She has published in several international conferences.Dr. P.K. Imbrie, University of
