The researchexperience in our undergraduate environmental engineering program offers the students aninvaluable opportunity to work on sophisticated analytical instruments, hands-on experimentaldesign, data analysis and interpretation, and also helps them hone their technical writing skills tomeet the demands of graduate school and future employers. Furthermore, the addition of aresearch experience to a core environmental engineering curriculum provides an excellent meansof not only teaching, but also assessing a large number of environmental engineering criteriaoutlined by the

Neurodivergent learners are often framed in unfavorable comparison totheir neurotypical peers, e.g., they struggle to focus in class, keep their possessions organized,follow instructions, and develop proficient writing skills related to their neurotypical peers [4].Of course, not all people who identify as neurodivergent learners

requirement of full-time status (12+ credits in fall/spring) became problematic for students whoneeded fewer than 12 credits in their last semester to graduate. Other students had scheduling challenges(e.g., 15 credits in one semester but 11 in the other), that threatened their eligibility. In Flit-GAP, after thefirst semester, the requirement for full-time status is interpreted to allow for these cases in which studentsare making progress toward graduation but cannot register for 12 credits in a particular semester .Common Program ActivitiesFlit-GAP provides positive, peer group cohorts for junior, senior, and eventually graduate-level students.Student development and support activities combine social and educational events to help these

The intersection of these roles – parent andstudent – raises critical questions about how institutions can better support this population, whose successhas implications far beyond individual achievement. The journey of a student-parent is unlike that of their peers. Time is insufficient, resources arestretched, and the stakes are high – not just for themselves but for the future of their children.
