Thissystem however poses some limitations well captured by a number of questions put forward byNational Instruments1. Remote labs emerged as an answer to these questions. Hence, remote labsmake it possible to do lab work at any time of any day, from the comfort of one's bedroom orduring a live lecture in class. They also make it possible to share laboratories across students andresearchers at great distances from each other.

ABET, theAccreditation Board of Engineering and Technology, has recommended this pedagogicalapproach as a method because focusing students on real-world problems can increase theirmotivation. 4 By using the live case study approach in this class, the traditional student group,expanded to include the mentor, can work together to synthesize their understanding of theapplication, through the question and answer process. The students can reinforce the conceptswith each other through the process of writing reflective papers on how their mentor companyapplies the techniques. Finally, the objective of this method is pulled together by the NationalAcademy of Engineering report

In this course, students were put into groups and had to complete an engineering task (inmy case, build a simple robot); however, the class’s primary learning outcomes focused on non-technical concepts like engineering ethics, which made this course like a mini capstone wherestudents had to find the information themselves to complete their projects. Reflecting on thisproject, I realized that researching and building circuitry for robots was the primary reason forselecting Electrical Engineering. Therefore, when I look at the department’s RED program, I seea similar ideology: an attempt to teach students more about the professional side of engineeringand empower students to take responsibility for learning.

Further, it was found that studentsin revised inclusive courses reported significantly stronger feelings of inclusion and belongingthan their peers in traditional courses. These findings suggest that systematic efforts toimplement neuroinclusive learning practices in engineering education may contribute to a senseof belonging for all students.IntroductionThe concept of neurodiversity, a term coined by sociologist Judy Singer [1], emerged asmembers of the autistic community challenged the predominant disability framing of autism andembraced the notion that diversity of minds is both

belonging amidst the engineering culture at her institution?Theoretical Framework: Sense of BelongingSense of belonging is used as a guiding framework for this study. A sense of belongingencompasses both cognitive and affective elements [14]. At the cognitive dimension, theevaluation of belonging is based on one’s collective information about their experiences within agroup (i.e., engineering culture) and with members of the group (i.e., engineering peers, professors,etc.). At the affective dimension, evaluation of belonging is based on feelings that develop fromexperiences within a group or with members of the group [14]. The cognitive and affectivedimensions inform each other as an individuals’ “cognitive processing often results in an
