These approaches includeproblem-based learning [4] and project-based learning [5], which are described as student-oriented,collaborative, self-directed, and focused on real-world challenges. Service-learning (SL) is anothertechnique used in engineering curricula, which engages students in community service to nurture a senseof social responsibility [6,7].

Commitment of Community Collaborators in Engineering Education and Industry (Work in Progress) AbstractThe underrepresentation of neurodiverse individuals, particularly those with autism, in the field ofengineering has been well-documented. The inclusion of these diverse learners must involve innovativepathways to engineering instruction. Additionally, steps must be taken to ensure inclusion and success inboth educational and workplace settings through individualized supports and by effectively preparingeducators, peers, and employers.
