,dyslexia, and ADHD possess unique abilities that may be assets in STEM fields. Despite thepotential of neurodivergent students to leverage these abilities to contribute to innovation in theirfield, they face a multitude of barriers and difficulties as they navigate rigid educationalenvironments. While there has been research on the strengths and challenges of neurodivergentSTEM students at the undergraduate level, there is a lack of studies at the graduate level. Thispaper details findings from a qualitative study on the experiences of neurodivergent graduatestudents within their STEM programs. Findings from a series of 10 focus groups suggest thatneurodivergent students face pressure to mask their neurodiversity-related traits and hide

In this case, the traditional, comprehensive final exam was replaced with anindividual or team project related to the course material. Recognizing that they elected totake the course, presumably to aid their graduate research, students were encouraged topursue topics directly related to their research. The complete projects were deeplyinsightful, indicating a level of conceptual knowledge gain which could not have beenmeasured using a final exam. Project-based assessment was very effective in this advancedgraduate elective, where students were compelled by a personal desire to learn.Like most faculty study groups, the faculty participating

The research oncreativity has most often been accomplished in K-12 education while research in innovation hasfocused on workplace measurement.
