These in-house Humanitieselectives work to accommodate engineering timetables, address differences in typical courseinstruction and delivery that may challenge our students, and relieve the self-consciousness ofengineering students in an unfamiliar discipline. A more complete discussion of these motivatingfactors and the University of Toronto’s response can be found in Chong, Tihanyi andWilkinson[1].While Representing Science on Stage demands that students step out of their comfort zone totake risks in an unfamiliar discipline, it does so in an environment that is familiar: an engineeringclassroom

these, the Revise/Iterate activity proved promising for two reasons. Iterationis a goal-directed activity that involves making incremental refinements during the developmentof a design solution. A dependence on iteration to optimize solutions, along with consideringtrade-offs and constraints, is one of the distinguishing factors between the process of engineeringdesign and scientific inquiry.2 This is important in the context of STEM education to ensure thatscience inquiry and engineering design are represented authentically, as epistemologicallyrelated, but distinct, problem-solving processes. Secondly, as students iterate through a solutionsto a problem, their understanding of the problem also evolves,1 and studies suggest that a higherrate

. Students may understand howto solve certain kinds of problems, but not necessarily why it works or where it came from.1 Inrecent years, engineering programs have emphasized the significance of creativity but have notnecessarily reinforced risk-taking personality traits. It is not often until there is a desperate needfor new ideas that the push for creativity and divergent thinking is desired. A clear example ofthis is the “Sputnik Shock” of 1957. The Soviet Union’s immense success in the space racepushed the Western world to challenge what they knew and come up with new innovations. Thisneed for new technology was in such a high demand, the US National Defense Education Act of1958 that was created with the purpose of stimulating and supporting

Research demonstrates that neurodivergentlearners contribute unique strengths to STEM fields, including innovative problem-solving, exceptionalattention to detail, and advanced pattern recognition capabilities [1]. Despite these strengths, neurodivergentstudents encounter barriers in conventional educational settings. These include sensory overload, challengeswith time management, and limited access to tailored accommodations, often leading to frustration, isolation,and academic underperformance. For instance, the sensory demands of large lecture halls or the unstructurednature of group work can overwhelm students with ASD or ADHD [2].

Although these courses are common across engineering programs inthe U.S., they vary substantially in the way they are implemented. The first nationwide survey ofcapstone courses was conducted in 1994 in an effort to better understand current practices at the time.1This was followed in 2005 by another nationwide survey2 using many of the same questions to update thedata and also to capture trends over time; the 2005 survey repeated many of the

They speculate that the U.S. will need 1 million additional STEMprofessionals than we will produce over the next 6-10 years. How can higher education helpmeet this demand if there’s simply not enough supply? Does it all revolve around building theSTEM pipeline or are there other ways we can add to the supply?
