Since then, he has built a coalition within the university to expand this work through multiple NSF-funded research grants including IUSE/PFE: RED titled ”Innovation Beyond Accommodation: Leveraging Neurodiversity for Engineering Innovation”. Because of the importance of neurodiversity at all levels of education, he expanded his work to graduate STEM education through an NSF IGE grant.

The course includes classroom instruction, individualassignments, an examination, and project work by student teams performed on industriallysponsored design and build projects. Essentially the course involves students learning how tointegrate design skills in four major areas: technical analysis, design creativity, projectmanagement and teamwork.Each year approximately 180 students take the course from a variety
