Theseprojects, in conjunction with classroom discussions, highlight the distinctive responsibilitiesassociated with leaders, managers and producers on teams.During one of the initial class meeting the students were asked to write down what they felt werethe important attributes of a leader. The instructor then discussed the roles of leaders, managersand producers on teams. He pointed out that every student will serve as a leader and as amanager on at least one of the five group projects. The instructors assign the teams and identifyboth the leader and manager on each project. Students should use these opportunities to assesstheir interests and capabilities in the various roles.As of early October, the

This latter point is especially important since in the case of ABET accreditedprograms, the EOCR contributes to a well-documented story on how a program is meeting itsassigned student outcomes and to what degree there is continuous improvement. The EOCR isespecially valuable for curriculum reviews since changes to the particulars of a program arebased on hard evidence as stated in the EOCR and not simply anecdotal stories.Key aspects of the EOCR process include: the instructor and interested faculty that generate theEOCR document, and the assessment tools and corresponding

thantheir peers without ADHD [15].1.2 Strengths-based approachThe work of the project is anchored by a strengths-based approach toward teaching and learningin general, and neurodiversity in particular. The literature related to strengths-based educationsuggests that incorporation of student strengths into the learning environment may enhancestudent engagement and motivation [16], [17]. For neurodivergent students, such as those withADHD, who may struggle to maintain interest and motivation within the traditional classroom, astrengths-based approach may be particularly impactful. Schreiner [18] writes that “strengths-oriented teaching recognizes the talents students bring to the learning environment and usesthose talents as the foundation for

Along with the 5-point scale, students were also able to leaveanonymous feedback about their opinions of the course. A response from one of our peers sumsup our views on the course by saying, “If you devote the time and energy to [our professor’s]class[,] it is extremely rewarding as you will come out with coding experience, 3D modeling, aswell as tangible products and technical writing.”The course also helped us with our time management skills.

various pedagogical techniques that a facultymember employs to connect and teach students. The traditional teacher-centered pedagogy isassociated with top down, hierarchal pedagogy that reinforces passive learning, rolememorization, and hinders the development of higher level cognitive skills ( (Duckworth, 2009;Cristillo, 2010). On the other hand, student-centered pedagogical strategies which promotekeeping students actively thinking, writing, comparing, and applying new knowledge result indeep learning and better student performance (Weimer, 2002; Wohlfarth, et al., 2008).

The students learned to reason qualitativelyand to write short essays using physics concepts without calculations. In general, theydemonstrated a high level of understanding.

For example, the portfolioassignment asks students (as part of the assignment) to provide thoughtful responses to whateach of them has learned about their strengths and weaknesses as a writer (such as their use oflanguage, organizing their writing effectively, and developing clarity in their writing), and whatareas each of them will continue to work on as they move forward.

How they obtain this knowledge is unique to every student dueto the vast number of options to gain secondary education and prepare for college. In manycases, the depth of this knowledge varies greatly, especially in mathematics, science, and writing. © American Society for Engineering
