And I think a lot of the material kind of relies on previous experience, which I didn't have a whole lot of.Of interest when integrating study findings, although there was noted change in awareness andintegration, qualitative data analysis revealed difficulty in extrapolating learning theory examplesfrom different fields of study. Some faculty evidenced a lack recall of the learning theoriescovered in the summer program, as well as a desire to develop a better understanding of the data,evidence, and practical applications, which would support and encourage their use of learningtheories in engineering courses.

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

Norwich recognizes that students who enter college with lessexperience in mathematics are less likely to graduate with a degree in a STEM discipline. Withthat in mind, the project aims to measure the benefits of a corequisite implementation ofprecalculus and calculus to help students complete the required calculus sequence by the end oftheir first year.

. Student teams generate as many concepts aspossible through methods such as brainstorming, mind mapping [27], or C-Sketch [28]. In theexample EDT, students are given a handout that presents relevant background about heat,temperature, and heat transfer. 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. The methods used during this stageencourage students to move from “tinkering” to authentic

and promotes the integration of engineering and computational thinking [24],[25]. However, the field lacks specific tools to translate these aspirations to educational practices.A decade since the publication of the NGSS, exemplary engineering activities have yet to beidentified and published [26].Here, we propose a framework for explicitly connecting computational thinking practices withengineering design. We consider the three main phases of CT - problem decomposition,abstraction, and algorithmic thinking - and how these map to problem definition, needs finding,and solution generation in engineering design. With these analogs in mind we have developed acrosscutting framework that links NGSS goals with scientific inquiry, CT, and
