Classroom activities were carefullycrafted to align with neuroinclusive teaching practices, aiming to empower every student, withparticular emphasis on supporting those who are neurodivergent. Instructors and the threeteaching assistants provided consistent support during these activities, while students had theopportunity to explore the application of mechanical concepts in topics of personal interestthrough strength-based projects. Having a tenure-track faculty member as one of the instructorsenriched the experience, providing interested students with the opportunity to participate inresearch-focused strength-based projects using
