Research indicates that those with ADHD, dyslexia,autism, etc., often possess strengths like visualization, spatial thinking, and hands-on activities[15] - [17]. Guided by Universal Design Learning (UDL) [11], additional teaching strategieswere added to enhance the distinct talents of neurodivergent students. The revised course focuseson three key areas: accessibility, flexibility, and a strength-based approach.In Spring 2023, the Mechanics of Materials course enrolled 130 students and took place in anactive learning classroom. The course was co-taught by two instructors. This section discussesthe course components, policy and class features which supported neuroinclusive

The other program does not include atechnical elective in its existing curriculum, so this travel course does not count as a majorcourse, but can still count towards the total credits for graduation.To answer the third question, it was agreed that the travel course should be an elective in thePBL course sequence, and a project would be an essential component. The PBL course sequenceranges from freshman seminar to senior capstone projects, and gradually deepens the students’knowledge to carry out practical projects, and prepares our students to succeed in their capstoneprojects as well as engineering jobs in industry after graduation.

Instead, research articles predominantly measured the impact of developingdesign practices (42%), followed by attitudes towards engineering (19%) and habits of mind(19%). If the goal of design activities is science learning, research is needed to understand theextent to which engineering education can meet this goal, as well as effective integrationstrategies. In addition, increased efforts are needed to overcome teachers' limited pedagogicaland content knowledge of engineering-based

development. Here, it is important to remember that theentrepreneurial mindset focuses on one’s mental attitude and belief system, which is acquired andnurtured over time with continued practice, reflection and feedback. As explained by Carol S.Dweck, a change in mindset requires effort, practice, and challenging tasks [7]. Regardless ofwhether it is the entrepreneurial mindset or the growth mindset, practice and more practice canchange one’s beliefs and attitudes, which in return can instill and reinforce the entrepreneurialmindset. Common methods for integrating practice, reflection, and feedback into the curriculumcan be through semester-long scaffold projects, journaling, peer feedback, and formativeassessments.#4: Curriculum Design for Best

Foroutcome-based assessment (EC2000) the objectives must be known and understood before theycan be evaluated. Therefore, in 2002 a colloquy was organized by ABET and funded by theSloan Foundation to determine educational objectives for laboratories which could be used toevaluate distance programs2.The objectives span cognitive knowledge
