Initially,4 seminars were shared between the two courses covering Professional Engineering Code ofEthics, Corporate Ethics, Quality and Compliance, Intellectual Property, and Climate Ethics 9. Inthe subsequent year, the collaboration expanded with the goal to further relationships betweenfaculty and students that could lead to other forms of collaboration, including joint researchprojects, opportunities for graduate study and other mutual benefits.

In other words, when students perceive that faculty are more supportive andopen to discussing their learning needs, these students are more likely to succeed academically.To address this need, I-Course instructors provide an inclusion statement that directly addressesneurodiversity, acknowledges strengths and challenges, and invites students to communicatewith the instructor about these strengths and challenges. The statement may be provided orally,in writing as part of the syllabus, or in both formats. Rather than simply provide a standardstatement, faculty are encouraged to personalize this statement.

Taking an individualistic approach, Eccles’ (1994)17 Expectancy-Value Model ofAchievement suggests that academic and occupation related decisions are guided by one’sexpectations for success and the value one places on a particular activity. Research has shownthat women are less inclined to pursue male-dominated careers because they perceive thoseoccupations to be misaligned with their values18–20. Frome, et al.

A case studycould be a good starting point, especially one that students can easily relate to. For example, thecase about the Spirometer, a device used to measure lung capacity. This was invented at a timewhen it was believed that race determined lung capacity, so the device was built with a racecorrection factor. When employers were sued for asbestos related lung-diseases caused due tolong exposure, Black employees would have to demonstrate worse lung function than
