Given that ChatGPT has been able to improvequickly and dramatically at solving a broad range of exam and homework problems, and thatspending on these technologies continues to grow across industries, how AI is being used acrossfields makes it difficult to ignore in engineering education.These changes have forced instructors to consider how to use (or ban) AI in their classrooms.

the CDC reportedthat 1 in 44 eight-year olds is diagnosed with autism; this is up from the 2020 statistic of 1 in 54[12]. Autism is often defined with the specific behaviors such as difficulties in socialinteractions, repetitive behaviors and paying too much attention to details. Some of thesebehaviors such as social interactions could cause difficulties in collaborative projects. At thesame time, based on assets-based theories, like Systemizing- Empathizing [13], researchers arguethat behaviors such as paying attention to details and repetitive and narrowed interest are deemedto be strengths in fields like design, engineering and computer science that require strongsystemizing abilities [13][14].

pedagogicalframework like inquiry-based learning and good contextualization of content in real-worldissues or needs increase the effectiveness of outreach activities [15], it can be doubted that allthe practical experiments with science and technology make use of these aspects. Evenengineering students seem to struggle with relating the social aspects of engineering, likerecognizing the needs of users and society or collaborating with stakeholders, to engineeringproblem-solving, which is viewed predominantly as a technical activity [16]. Hence, it is notsurprising if the picture of “engineering with, for, and as people” [16] is not readily conveyedthrough outreach activities either.Providing diverse role models to emphasize the need and fit of different kinds
