three themes related to advisor-advisee communication: Mutual Trust, ClearExpectations, and Delivery of Feedback.Mutual TrustWhen asked if they would share information about their neurodiversity-related experiences,strengths, and challenges with their advisor, most participants expressed some hesitation aboutdoing so, suggesting that students may not have the necessary trust in their advisor-adviseerelationship to facilitate these types of discussions. Wendy, who later on in her programdeveloped open communication with her advisor about neurodiversity, reflected on her earlyperception that she was not safe discussing her experiences with ADHD, saying: I think it would be something that might be helpful to share with my advisor

This experiential learning model enables themto solidify knowledge through real-world problem-solving. This sentiment is reflected in thestatement from interviewee 1: “The student connects the content given with a real problem that can be encountered in everyday life, which helps in the construction and retention of knowledge.” [interviewee 1] Also, in the statement of interviewee 5, there is: “The student himself will identify

In the survey after each simulated industry experience,students were asked to briefly reflect on the activity by sharing things like what they learnedfrom the activity, how this activity challenged them to think like an engineer in industry, or whatcould be improved about the activity. In addition, students were asked to identify the mainchallenges in the biopharmaceutical

. It represents a behavioral aspect of well-being and has beenrecognized as a significant predictor of various learning behaviors and achievement outcomes[11, 12]. According to Renshaw and Bolognino (2016) [6], academic efficacy encompasseselements of both cognitive and behavioral well-being. However, their analysis suggests that itpredominantly reflects behavioral well-being rather than cognitive well-being. This implies thatacademic efficacy is more closely associated with the persistent pursuit of goals anddetermination rather than solely cognitive abilities or beliefs about one's capabilities.3.

Though the student grade is more of a representation of thecognitive domain, it is a good measure of the student engagement level and, when compared to grades inother assignments, reflects the impact of the gamified problem on their learning.In order to separate the assessment of the data (including coding of the reports) from the evaluation ofgrades, the authors split these responsibilities.
