2014 report indicate thatneurodiverse individuals make up only around 3% of science and engineering doctoral degreerecipients [10].Graduate students face a unique set of challenges when compared to undergraduate students,with faculty advisors playing a large role in student success. Several studies have noted specificchallenges related to advisors, including work-life balance, which may be impacted by facultyexpectations, and hierarchical faculty-student relationships [11]-[13]. Satterfield et al.’s [14]literature review focused on the experiences of graduate students during their studies andexplored how individual factors (the influence of the student’s advisor), programmatic factors(isolation and teaching assistantships), and external

Kamenetzky [30] reported that teaching and training were commonly cited,followed by broad dissemination and infrastructure enhancement. Cultural differences amongSTEM fields and political considerations may play a significant role in the types of broaderimpacts mentioned or omitted in research proposals [24], [30] .

The American Red Cross creates a conceptual definition ofwater competency, where a competent swimmer can immerse his or herself in water completely,recover to the surface and tread water or float for at least a minute, be able to change orientation,moving in the water, and exiting from the water. Additionally, being able to adapt to differentwater conditions (e.g., variability in temperature, water clarity, calmness of the water) is animportant characteristic to consider in classifying water competency [2, 8].Swimming education programs have had more of a focus on teaching traditional swimmingstrokes used in competition (freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke, and butterfly), causing adisconnect between what constitutes water competency in

racial identity (i.e., visibility ofPOC) was often equated with inability and stereotypes in engineering [40]. Thus, claiming thatcolor-neutral attitudes exist in engineering negates the lived experiences of POC and thehypervisibility they are constantly exposed to in classroom, laboratories, or team activities.Colorblindness, and the idea that attitudes and behaviors in engineering are race-neutral, alsolead to issues of “otherness,” racialization, and cultural dissonance [41], [42], all of which havedetrimental effects on students of color. Moreover, colorblindness institutionalizes racism without asking for accountability whenracist acts occur. For instance, McGee argued that racism in STEM continues to exist becauseracially hostile

These results have important implications forcommunication on interdisciplinary teams and teaching statistics to engineering students.IntroductionVariability is ubiquitous in engineering but its impact is often ignored, sometimes to dangerouseffect. For example, in the 1940s the U.S. Air Force had serious issues with uncontrollableaircraft: At the height of this calamity 17 pilots crashed in a single day [1].
