belonging and academic integration (expectations students havefor positive student-faculty interactions are met), positively relates to self-efficacy [4], [16]. ForURM students within STEM fields, insufficient support systems, stereotype internalization, andexperiencing racism and isolation have been recognized as elements that influence attrition [17].Working to improve the climate within undergraduate engineering programs can address thesefactors and may lead to improvements in the retention of women and URM students. Insummary, it is important that instructors are aware of these potential barriers to success, attunedto how students are experiencing learning in their classrooms, and address issues that contributeto a chilly classroom climate

underrepresentedstudents still face despite ongoing intervention measures [6]. These obstacles include lateexposure to STEM career pathways, overrepresentation of historically underrepresented studentsin under resourced school districts, implicit biases in the educational system, socio-economicbarriers to participation in extracurricular activities, a lack of easily accessibly STEM rolemodels, historically unwelcoming academic culture in STEM disciplines, and low perceptions ofthe aptitude and drive by educators along their educational [7,8].Past research has provided evidence that intentionally introducing black students into STEMfrom an early age can increase their motivation, self-efficacy, and perseverance in STEM field[9]. Additionally, culturally relevant

their knowledge of IotFtechnologies and their perceptions of self-efficacy and intentions towards high school STEMteaching. The pre-program and post-program data allowed for within-subjects comparisons toassess the changes in IotF knowledge and skills between orientation (“pre-program”) and the endof the summer program (“post-program). Due to the small sample size, we can only reportdescriptive statistics to compare the survey results within a given year. For the summer 2023 cohort, all eight participants complete the pre-program surveyduring the first week of the program. Five of the participants completed the post-program surveyat the conclusion of the program. Therefore, we report pre-program and post-program data forthose five RE-PST

The overall objectives of the research are to measure ifimprovements in student learning outcomes, student engagement, and course completionrates are possible if the structure in a basic materials engineering course is transformedfrom primarily deductive practice to an Information Communication Technology (ICT)enabled inductive teaching and learning environment. There are two major componentsof this research project. The first

inclusion of neurodivergent students requiresus to move beyond the implementation of accessibility measures and adopt a strengths-basedapproach to acknowledge and cultivate the unique abilities and diverse thinking styles that thesestudents possess. While there is scant literature on the implementation of a strengths-basedapproach toward neurodiversity in the context of engineering or other STEM fields, a review ofthe existing literature finds that this approach is promising to enhance the wellbeing andacademic outcomes of neurodivergent students. One study found that a neurodiversity view wasassociated with expressions of greater career ambition and academic self-esteem [10], while thepost-program survey responses of participants in a strengths
