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. Engineering Community Inclusion of Individuals with Autism (ECIIA), anNSF-funded project, will employ virtual reality (VR) technology to engage more autistic high

was developed, it makes sense thatthose efforts marked important milestones in the field—in supporting innovation andoccupational attainment. Nevertheless, we understand that intellectual diversity is critical to thefield—after all, innovations in engineering are shaped and informed by diverse cultural needs,priorities, and values. This means engineering education is inextricably linked to society andculture, and therefore, engineering education must also be shaped consistently. Some researchconsiders that "pre-college engineering education is still in its infancy" [19, p. 757]; alsoengineering education is a collaboration practice [18], [20]. For these reasons, I will review thisdiscipline. In the next section, I will discuss one perspective
