The types of courses that we have in mind cover topics such as statics, dynamics andmechanics, fluid mechanics, materials, surveying, linear circuit analysis, and thermodynamics.These courses are typically required for undergraduate engineers and taught in a traditional largelecture format. Unless mandated by the individual department or school, instructors are unlikelyto implement writing in these types of courses because of the large numbers and

And then personally, I guess I don't mind making something hard for myself to make sure that I try to do it more… I am very confident that I understand the engineering that I want to understand. I'm not 100% Confident in statics … If I wanted to go farther in statics, I'd probably have to learn more. (Student #3) That changes my experience of learning, because then I'm number one, I'm not afraid to fail. Number two, I push myself to actually understand the concept because I'm not just trying to memorize the definition out of a book, because the book is right in front of me.

However, these metrics fall shortin explaining why admitted students, with high GPA and standardized test scores, can still fail tostay in an engineering program or struggle to graduate on time [1]. Literature suggests that non-cognitive and affective (NCA) factors can play an important role in a students’ success andencompasses measures such as stress, social support, engineering identity, meaning and purpose,mindfulness, belonging, and many others [2]–[11].

As a result, elementary teachersmight then be better equipped to build students’ engineering identity and encourage them toconsider engineering as a potential career option.In addition to helping students develop engineering identities, exposure to engineering inelementary school is also beneficial for developing students’ engineering habits of mind(EHoM). EHoM are internalized dispositions and ways of thinking that engineers draw uponwhen confronted with problems [4] and include things such as optimism, persistence,collaboration, creativity, systems thinking, and attention to ethical considerations [5]. TheseEHoM can be beneficial to all students, regardless of career choice, but as with all habits,EHoM take time to develop. As

genre-specific features among other genres, too.Focus group responses noted both similarities and differences among writing assignments inFYC and engineering laboratory courses. Students agreed that writing assignments in bothcourses included writing for an audience with a purpose in mind, employing rhetorical appeals(logos, pathos, and ethos), and using evidence as support. Many of the distinctions that studentsnoted emphasized differences in how these elements were employed. For example, studentsnoted the difference between using thesis statements in research papers and using hypotheses inlab reports to define the genre’s purpose. They also observed that there is little pathos in labreports, and that lab reports tend to emphasize logos and

Further, it was found that studentsin revised inclusive courses reported significantly stronger feelings of inclusion and belongingthan their peers in traditional courses. These findings suggest that systematic efforts toimplement neuroinclusive learning practices in engineering education may contribute to a senseof belonging for all students.IntroductionThe concept of neurodiversity, a term coined by sociologist Judy Singer [1], emerged asmembers of the autistic community challenged the predominant disability framing of autism andembraced the notion that diversity of minds is both

In groups of four, they use brainstorming methods to generatesketches of at least three possible storage devices that fit the parameters of the design challenge. Once several concepts are generated, the best one is selected based on evaluation criteria.During stage three, teams use engineering techniques to select the best concept from the previousstage and construct an argument for their best design.
