disciplines such as science, technology,engineering, and math (STEM) may be relevant to their lives [8]. However, autistic youth oftenalready have deep interests related to academic topics, including STEM fields [3]. In fact,autistic people who enter higher education are drawn to majors in STEM fields at higher ratesthan the general population [4]. To prepare autistic youth for careers, they can benefit fromexperiences that help them translate their interests into real-world applications through engagingin practices such as the EDP [9] and experiences that help them interact productively with peers[10]. Inclusive interest-driven maker programming, therefore, would seem a promising methodfor enabling a wide range of neurodiverse youth to pursue their

The National Science Foundation also emphasizes theimportance of this type of multi- and interdisciplinary approach to leverage innovations inscience, engineering and technology to improve the human condition [6].Providing training to improve professional skills like communication, teamwork, and leadershipcan improve individual and group performance in a variety of contexts. For example, researchhas demonstrated that helping healthcare providers improve their communication and teamworkskills can lead to better teamwork [7], [8] and improved patient outcomes [9].

their professional abilities and, ultimately, the engineering sector of the economy.Undergraduate research experience in particular is important because it develops keycomplementary skills needed for further research, alongside technical competencies.Experiencing research at the undergraduate level is correlated with positive post-graduationoutcomes, including effective speaking, understanding scientific findings, analyzing literature,and having clear career goals [2]. It also promotes three key graduate attributes required of allCanadian engineering students: communication, teamwork, and leadership [3].

This process ofexamination is evident in numerous contexts, from elected officials interpreting legal documents(e.g., a constitution or judicial ruling) to religious scholars examining historical texts. This levelof examination can, and should, be used as programs at colleges and universities seek to achieveaccreditation.ABET is a certified non-profit organization that “accredits college and university programs inapplied and natural science, computing, engineering and engineering technology” [1].

NSF states that, broadly, “thegoal of the ERC program has traditionally been to integrate engineering research and educationwith technological innovation to transform and improve national prosperity, health, and security”[4]. The universities are often geographically dispersed and with foreign institutions as partners;thus, collaboration takes place both virtually and in-person, even prior to the pandemic.Furthermore, there are different levels of involvement (e.g., amount of time dedicated to theCenter) and levels of

Materials Engineering CourseIntroductionShortages in the engineering and technology fields is an urgent priority for the US governmentand the country as a whole. In many technical industries, there is a shortage of people graduatingwith the skills needed to take on careers in fields like microelectronics. The microelectronicsindustry specifically is raising concerns regarding talent shortages, with 77% of semiconductormanufacturers surveyed were concerned about a talent shortage in the industry. [1]Workforce development programs have become a strategy to help areas of technological need getmore attention from potential engineers and technical workers and retain those who are alreadyin these fields. For example, the National Science Foundation (NSF

This decision was based on work done by DonnaRiley who mentions that non-western examples are a part of inclusive practice [6]. Since theAccreditation Board for Engineering and Technology addresses the development globalcompetency, this was easily adopted by the faculty. After years of having global examplesintegrated in to the CEE course work, the RED research team saw changes in students’recognition of the climate of diversity and inclusion. Students were regularly seeing howengineering impacts people and societies.The Final YearAfter the success of the CEE
