The study was limitedby the small number of stakeholder participants who had self-volunteered to join the designsessions; 10% of faculty and staff and 1% of the undergraduate students. There was also verysmall representation of the graduate student population (one student participant was a combineddegree BS/MS graduate student) which represents a

Examples of potentially brain-altering experiencesinclude trauma and long-term meditation practice. A person can be multiply neurodivergent iftheir “neurocognitive functioning diverges from dominant social norms in multiple ways – forinstance, a person who is autistic, dyslexic, and epileptic” [pp. 38-40].Neurotypical – “having a style of neurocognitive functioning that falls within the dominantsocial standards of ‘normal’.” It is the opposite of neurodivergent.

CAD technology in many ways is changing this experience for the designer also.

A concerted effort was made to evaluate students’experiences in the course using both direct assessment (i.e. student academic performance) usingproblem-by-problem scoring metrics and indirect assessment (e.g. task value, engagement, self-efficacy) through validated pedagogical inventories emerging from relevant theoreticalframeworks. Indirect assessments were collected at the beginning, middle and end of the course,while direct assessments were made continuously.This work presents the results of these direct and indirect assessments as well as

Challenges are encountered in teaching any course, and teaching costestimating is no exception. The greatest challenge in this course is finding projects that bestencompass the elements of estimating while at the same time not overwhelming the students. Ifthe scope of the project and the cost resources are beyond a student’s comprehension, then themotivation to learn through the experience will be lacking. And, the opposite is just as true -- ifthe project scope is too uncomplicated or simple, the course will lose its motivation and focus.Improvements implemented. Reviewing the range of
