It is important to notethat neurodivergent individuals 1) are not broken or incomplete people, 2) are fully human, withinalienable human rights, and lastly 3) can live rich, meaningful lives.Figure 1: Neurodivergent represents a subset of people in the disability community. Neurotypical peoplecan be those who are either non-disabled or disabled (i.e., have a chronic illness but are notneurodivergent). Neurodiversity refers to the entire population of both neurotypical and neurodivergentpeople.Our goal in this research project is to shift from the emphasis on deficits of the neurodivergentcommunity by

engineering education by providingstudents individualized guidance and support during laboratory sessions. These responsibilitiesoften include answering technical questions, assisting with experimental setups, andtroubleshooting complex problems. However, the high dependency on TAs in large-scale classesfrequently leads to challenges, including limited availability, inconsistent instructional quality,and an overwhelming workload for TAs. These issues can negatively affect the learningexperience for students and impede the development of critical problem-solving skills. In engineering labs, the demand for TA support intensifies during practical sessions,where students encounter unforeseen errors or require clarification on intricate concepts

Faculty Fellows Program1. Introduction Technical communication skills are highly valued in engineering[1]. Practicing engineersspend a large portion of work time writing or speaking; however, feedback from industryindicates a lack of communication skills in many engineering graduates[2]. To produceengineering graduates with the communication skills necessary to be successful in the modernworkforce, engineering curriculums need to improve how communication skills are taught. Themovement towards more effective teaching of communication skills to engineers has resulted inopportunity for collaboration with communication experts[3, 4] and the launching of WritingAcross the Curriculum (WAC) or Writing in the Disciplines (WID) programs[5-7]. One
above manual, few universal methods exist to measure thedevelopment of these competencies in relation to a co-op experience. This study aims to bridge this gap by using a skills-based model to assess skilldevelopment prior to co-op. This model can be used as a “check-list” for co-op assessmentand is used in this study to understand the discrepancy between disciplines in the skills thatare developed in the years prior to entering a work environment. This model is adapted frommodels reported by Jiang, Lee & Golab [3], Jackson & Chapman [4], Rainsbury, Hodges,Burchell & Lay [5], Spencer & Spencer [5], Coll, Zegwaard & Hodges [6], Jackson [7].1.1 Background At the beginning of this project, a literature review was

Despite accreditationagencies such as ABET and engineering societies such as ASME providing standards forundergraduate programs, there are still calls to improve engineering education in terms ofdiversity, ethical reasoning, and an ability to function in a global market [1]–[3].
