& research projects focus on educational accessibility
NSF BPE NeurDy
The aim of this project is to characterize what it means to be a neurodivergent student in engineering by identifying neurodivergent strengths and challenges. As engineering education becomes available to more diverse students, the field still lacks an understanding of neurodivergent (e.g., autistic, ADHD, anxiety) student experiences and how to incorporate inclusive pedagogy for such populations.
EER NeurDy Collaboration
The purpose of this collaboration is to foster a neurodivergent community in the engineering education research field. Several engineering education researchers reflect, share, and disseminate their neurodivergent experiences.
GEAR UP – Utah
This project aims to collaborate with high school STEM teachers to develop and integrate engineering activities that incorporate math and science concepts in the classroom. Throughout the project, the research team will collaborate with GEAR-UP high school teachers in Utah to learn the current math and science curricula. The research team will then develop and co-teach engineering activities.
