everyone. And this individual was able to run with it and be very successful. I think because of his EWB experience, right?... Translating that into the workplace, I came in with an understanding that I should be checking with my customers and talking with them often. Understanding their needs, understanding how their needs may change, understanding more about how I can be meeting their needs with my technical solutions that I might be working on.Dominik observed that the EWB experience nurtured an entrepreneurial mindset. I think also there is an entrepreneurial thread with EWB alum, where a lot of us find over the course of our first 5 years or 10 years in the engineering industry, that there aren't

enough to ensurestudents reach their desired outcomes [27].The benefit of WREAs toward employability originates primarily through skill development andthe expansion of personal networks. For example, research suggests that internships serve as away to build technical, leadership, and entrepreneurial skills [18]. Although postsecondaryeducation and engagement in WREAs contribute to broad human capital and aid in developingan individual’s critical thinking, skills are environmentally contextualized in how they form andare employed [28]. As such, we should strive to think of soft skills, such as communication andleadership, within the context of the environment in which they form to adequately understand astudent’s ability to navigate an

The first update is to replace theoutdated measure examples and add MERCII evaluation tools into the manual once extensivevalidity and reliability evidence has been collected. Other planned updates include addingdifferent vetted and reputable evaluation tools from various sources, i.e., TEEC approved tools.ERCs have a different emphasis on specific evaluation categories and research interest throughevaluation. Examples of such categories include identity, entrepreneurial mindset, or sense ofbelonging. This approach will be taken to crowdsource possible additional measures.Evaluator ToolboxThe evaluator toolbox is

By integrating these two perspectives, it is possible to gain a morecomplete understanding of how shared knowledge and beliefs shape societal attitudes andpractices related to neurodiversity. This can help to create a strength-based mindset thatrecognizes the unique abilities and contributions of neurodiverse individuals and works toinclude them in all aspects of society.In summary, Epistemic community theory can provide the technical understanding ofneurodiversity while the collective unconscious can provide the cultural and psychologicalunderstanding of societal attitudes and perceptions. Together they can provide a framework forpromoting
