. Inaddition to popular discourse, many scholars are also engaging with neurodiversity, so much sothat a field of neurodiversity studies has begun to emerge. Scholarship in neurodiversity studies,along with the activism of the neurodiversity movement, has developed in response to thewidespread pathologizing of neurodivergent people that furthers discrimination and oppression.Prominent neurodiversity studies scholar Nick Walker [1] calls the cultural paradigm underlyingthis oppression the ‘pathology paradigm’ and notes that it is the dominant paradigm in the worldtoday. As an alternative, Walker has introduced the ‘neurodiversity paradigm,’ which has thepotential to radically alter the way we view neurodiversity (especially with respect

MentoringA skilled mentor can significantly impact what students learn about science and technology [1].To develop a mentor, the process might encompass a long-term maturation, growth, anddevelopment of an individual at the trainee level into an innovative and productive mentor whocan accept expanding leadership roles in his or her chosen field [2]. In the literature, mentoring isdefined as collaborative professional learning characterized by an egalitarian approach of sharingknowledge, working together, and nurturing the whole person to improve practice [3-5].Although mentors and mentees share a learning experience over time, mentoring is traditionallya one-way learning activity. Mentors act as a teacher to counsel, listen, and encourage mentees

Despite a decrease in the enrollment rate of new international studentsby 34% for undergraduates and 45% for graduates compared to 2019/2020, close to 1 millionstudents still chose to come to the US for their education [1]. More than 80% of these students arepursuing advanced degrees in STEM [2]. Why has the US been able to attract so many internationalstudents into STEM for higher education? Several reasons have been suggested in the literature -the availability of state-of-the-art research labs, opportunities to embark on ground-breakingresearch, the presence of highly qualified researchers, and the benefits of working withintellectuals from other parts of the world [3].

In particular, we believe that three existing research ideas related to stories should beexamined and understood to help us achieve our diversification goals. We start by providing amodel of the story for the idea of the transformation and recruitment of a student to become anengineer. Next, we describe how our own personal narratives define who we are, and how rolemodels provide us with ways of imagining our future. These role models, therefore, if not curatedproperly do not allow us to imagine our own narratives fitting into being engineeringprofessionals.
