The EPICS team focuses ondesigning experiments, storage, and transportation logistics, while the IIT Tirupati team focuseson demonstrations and localization. The IIT Tirupati students have coordinated several pilotdemonstrations in more than 5 different elementary schools, and are able to interact directly withteachers and students, as well as organize other student volunteers to implement STEMexperiments. The EPICS team has been primarily focused on planning and creating infrastructure,but has found it difficult to receive enough feedback to gauge the success of

As the teams progress through the designprocess, teams review and revise their problem statement as a way to introduce new knowledgegained and to reevaluate and redirect the project direction.

in college, little is known about the academic success of collegestudents with ADHD, and even less is known about students with ADHD in STEM [6].Individuals who have been diagnosed with ADHD exhibit inattention, impulsivity, andhyperactivity [7]. College students with ADHD can experience academic failure andunderachievement [8], and they also face challenges with motivation, anxiety, time management,and general study skills [9]. Additionally, college students with ADHD often have more difficultthan their peers with executive functioning skills (i.e., time management, information processing,planning, and organization)—neurocognitive processes responsible for problem solving-behaviors and attention control—that have been shown to be required

successful, but there are improvements we plan to make. In the next improved iteration ofthe ERSP course, we will change the grading structure (previously graded on a grade A, B, C, Dscale) to one of Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory. Given that the course is only a 1-credit hour course,the pressure of obtaining an A can overshadow the ERSP experience as we have anecdotallyexperienced with some students in the past two cohorts. In the next two years, we plan to focus oninstitutionalization of the program in the CS and ECE departments. We also strive to utilize ERSPas a recruitment tool for minoritized students in CS and ECE by promoting the program throughstudent professional organizations such as SWE, NSBE, SHPE, WICS.
