strengths of developingprograms that foster critical thinking, problem-solving, and analyticalreasoning skills using strategies like the engineering design process (EDP) [1],[2]. By engaging in these programs, students learn to apply conceptualknowledge from science and related subjects, including engineering, to solveopen-ended and ill-defined problems creatively [3], [4]. These skills can alsoprepare autistic students to succeed in real-world contexts [5]. We createdengineering maker clubs in public schools across New York City to provideinclusive spaces for elementary, middle, and high school students. We aimedto enhance co-designing and develop technological knowledge andengineering skills in autistic and non-autistic students. These clubs are

some teaching practices are more effective than others when teaching science,technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) subjects; however, there are very fewinstances where these teaching practices are measured within university constructs. Along withprevious research, there has been a nationwide push for the adoption of research-based teachingpractices in STEM classrooms. We conducted a verbal survey interview with engineeringfaculty, using a modified “Teaching Practices Inventory,” to determine the teaching practicesthat are actively utilized in their respective classrooms [6]. Each faculty received individualfeedback and advice related to his or her responses and collective data was used to determinewhere improvements can be made on a
