National LongitudinalTransition Study-2 (NLTS2) shows that if individuals with autism get to college, they are likelyto gravitate towards engineering, math and computer science [15]. At the same time, anecdotally,autistic individuals have presented their talents of design and their passion of building anddesigning projects (e.g. Temple Grandin, John Elder Robison). Therefore, as educators andresearchers plan to provide opportunities for ALL children to excel in fields they have potentialin, it is important to focus on design, engineering and computer science when it comes to autisticchildren. Study PurposeThis paper is a part of a larger project that aimed to characterize the engagement of children withautism in engineering design practices

design principles and accommodationsbeing applied in your classroom. At the same time, reaching out to your disabled students tosee if there is any feedback on the accommodations you have implemented for the class couldbe beneficial. Discussions of accommodations should always be done in private, so schedulingan email to send to students with accommodations mid-way through the semester is a quickway to solicit feedback. Disclosing accommodations can be daunting and having someonewilling to have continued open communication can be helpful.Accommodation needs might change within a semester, due to a new diagnosis, a change intreatment plans, or something else—like a global pandemic. If the student needs newaccommodations, they should reach out

One is further development and refinement of the data dashboardwith the Faculty Communities. The second initiative is to introduce storytelling with the FCs tocapture their reflection on their journey to better understand and take action on student learningand retention issues and then use these stories to share with others to help motivate additionalfaculty engagement. Another ongoing task is further testing the project assumptions and theoriesof change to refine a framework to cultivate motivation and change to improve student successand retention and incorporate evidence-based instructional strategies.AcknowledgmentsThis

I regularly use discovery-based instruction as well as groups in my classroom,but now since I have gone through those steps myself, it has given me a better idea of where tolook for problems as the students are learning.

The two primary reason theinstructor for CE483 developed the flipped classroom for the Fall of 2021 was to free up in-classtime to work complex design problems for a common real-world building plan. The intent was tohelp students connect concepts to a single building design as they progressed through the course.The results were compared to the non-flipped course in the Fall of 2021.The instructor created 1-2 videos for each lesson. The average length of each video wasapproximately 20 minutes. The videos were posted on Microsoft Stream and accessed bystudents on Microsoft Teams.

’ ability to recall and apply them. To better motivate students to prepare early for a testthat can be replaced, the procedures for replacing the PREMIE test are designed to require non-trivial effort and some level of planning. If a student is not satisfied with their score on a 25-minute 30-point PREMIE test, they can replace the score on the original PREMIE with the scoreon an equivalent section of the midterm, called a PREMIE Redo, if they commit to doing sobefore the midterm and meet with an instructor or assistant to discuss their mistakes on thePREMIE. Meeting with the instructor or an assistant is intended not only to help the studentidentify and understand technical mistakes or misconceptions but also to establish a morepersonal connection

This has resulted in several instances of involuntary load shedding, where multiple load areas (supplying hundreds of customers) have been left de-energized for several hours. Many residents have indicated their frustration during town hall meetings, especially because this summer has been one of the hottest on record. After investigating the matter, a task force formed by the utility concludes that the only viable option is to add generation capacity to the network so that it can operate as a standalone system during summer months.

students place more importanceon their future career plans as what influences their interest the most.The quantitative data paints a different, but not contradictory, picture. All grade levels seemed togain interest in STEM from attending the camps, but it was the 7th graders who benefitted themost, with 8th graders next, and 9th graders last. The linear formation of the grades indicates thatit is important to have opportunities for younger students in STEM since that is when they aremost likely to benefit from said opportunities.Looking at all the data, the camps appear to have a stronger impact on younger pre-high schoolstudents. On the other hand, 9th graders were less likely to be swayed, less likely to receiveinfluence from family based on
