the earliest stage of a collegestudent’s education.Focus on the importance of the first year is not limited to engineering education. Many collegeshave developed new first-year programs designed to smooth the transition from high school tocollege. Some focus on study skills and transition issues, others use learning communities tobuild a network of social support for the academic mission, and yet others build first-yearseminars connecting students with faculty research interests.6 Among engineering educationprograms, however, freshmen seminars typically focus on bringing engineering and design intothe curriculum earlier, largely to spur student motivation, retention, and assistance in choosing amajor.7,8,9 These first year engineering

Before thecamp activities started, students completed a pre-camp survey to determine their perceptions ofand interest in STEM. The same survey was given to students at the end of the engineering campto determine the impact the camp experience had on improving students’ perceptions and interestin STEM.The first day of the engineering camp included activities to pique the students’ interest in usingSTEM activities to better manage water resources.

In this class, the students are assumed tolearn the applications of popular sensors and actuators and study wireless communication devicesand protocols. Then, they can synthesize the knowledge of fundamental STEM, the introductionlevel of robotics, and design to develop a complicated project. As discussed above, the classmainly focuses on how to understand the theories through practical applications indirectly insteadof how to deliver the theories directly.

learning has yet to be seen [4]. The lackof remote teaching in engineering, prior to the pandemic, has been attributed to the inherentnature of the discipline, which requires hands-on training to work with instruments and materialsin controlled laboratory settings [5]. Learning experiences that support practical knowledge andskill development are essential for engineers but are difficult to create in a digital environment[5]. Consequently, researchers have claimed that transiting conventional engineering courses thatfocus on content-centered and designed-oriented learning to online may not provide studentswith the in-depth learning required in engineering [5-6]. Furthermore, converting conventionalengineering courses to remote instruction

While such acourse seemed heavy for undergraduate students, it had the most promising results. Studentslearned an advanced subject usually taught at graduate schools, while it was completely hands-on. Students performed both independent and dependent work in the class. As a result, theyobtained enough knowledge to start working in the semiconductor industry.

A few examples of the variations that fall under theneurodiversity umbrella are attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), autism (ASD),generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), depression, and dyslexia. A growing body of literaturesuggests that neurodivergent individuals often possess unique strengths that may be
