UpdateAbstractThis paper provides an update on our research exploring the college experience of science,technology, engineering, and math (STEM) college students with attention-deficit/ hyperactivitydisorder (ADHD). Individuals with ADHD make up a growing fraction of college students.Despite their increasing college presence, little is known about their college experiences andacademic success. This project involves three sequential studies guided by the social model ofdisability. Study 1 is a quantitative analysis investigating the relationship between pre-collegefactors, college experiences, and academic success of college students with ADHD. Study 2 is ascoping literature review of the college experiences of these students, and Study 3 is aqualitative

The MQP is similar to senior design projects implemented at otheruniversities, focusing specifically on developing engineering solutions to technical problems; assuch, student teams are generally major-specific.The IQP is in many ways the cornerstone of the WPI Plan; whereas in 1970 there were otherschools that had capstone design and humanities projects as a part of their STEM curriculum, thefaculty observed a need for a project in which engineering skills would be built in a societalcontext. This was due primarily to the failure of post-war technological progress to deliver on theutopian promises of the 1950s: despite incredible scientific breakthroughs
