thinking, problem solving, precision, aten�on to details, and steady workhabits, they tend to struggle with group and team working condi�ons due to anxiety about socialsitua�ons and a lack of understanding of unwriten and informal rules, or the hidden curriculum. Theinability to adapt and be flexible can result in frustra�on, anger, impa�ence, and conflicts with peerswhich furthers the social s�gma atached to au�sm and emo�onal dysregula�on. In agile, con�nuousimprovement, and entrepreneurial focused se�ngs in engineering that require itera�ve feedback loops,responsiveness and the incorpora�on of feedback, and open-mindedness and crea�vity, au�s�c studentsmay struggle and may miss novel solu�ons but also avoid group and team projects all together
reading the paper yet, this title reminds me of our work in reflection inengineering and trying to capture/understand the language that students have. That was exactlymy reaction for some academic team projects where I knew the people I was assigned to andcould identify based on past experiences that we were not the strongest combination of students.This paper is also interesting to me because the tool already exists. CATME (similarly tomakerspaces) is currently being implemented in the engineering curriculum but as the abstractnotes, little is known about how these tools are applied and how students and instructorsperceive their use…[Paper 3] This paper was interesting to me because of makerspaces, informal engineeringactivity, potential for
teachers to teach science and engineering, and has provided numerous professional development experiences in science and engineering for practicing teachers in Northeastern Maryland. She is also a partner and collaborator with the Engineering is Elementary project. Dr. Lottero-Perdue has investigated a range of topics within elementary engineering education, and has also studied faculty-to-faculty mentoring.
