Session Description

Purpose
An overlooked piece of faculty development is helping faculty come to terms with assessment--particularly with the tension between the desire to use assessment to provide feedback on learning, and the cultural and institutional pressures of what “assessment” should look like. The purpose of this special session is to prompt participants to reflect on their assessment practices as examined through a lens of the student-centeredness aspect of effective and inclusive instruction. We argue that feedback and formative goals should be at the core and NOT grading.

Session Description

Engineering education is often neuronormative; that is, there is often an implicit assumption in engineering education that faculty and students are neurotypical and think in relatively similar ways. Many of the facilitators of this workshop thought we were alone in engineering education when we realized we were neurodivergent (e.g., ADHD, bipolar, PTSD, dyslexia, autism, and others). We found community with each other as we discussed our experiences of neurodivergence in engineering education.

At last year’s ASEE (2022), we held a storytelling panel of neurodivergent graduate students and facul ... (continued)

Speakers

1. Mr. Hector Enrique Rodríguez-Simmonds

   Purdue Engineering Education

   Héctor E. Rodríguez-Simmonds (he/him/él) is a visiting assistant professor in the Humanitarian Engineering program at Boston College in Massachusetts. In the Spring 2023 he received his PhD from the School of Engineering Education at Purdue University. He has a masters degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering. Héctor confirmed long-held suspicions he is ADHD in the third year of his doctorate. A couple of years later, he learned he was also on the autism spectrum. Héctor is still working his way through understanding these terms, what they tell him about how he works and who he is, and how he identifies with them.

2. Theo Sorg

   Purdue University

   Theo Sorg (they/them) is a third-year PhD student and National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellow in the School of Engineering Education at Purdue University. They received their Bachelor’s degree in Aeronautical and Astronautical Engineering at Purdue University. As an undergraduate, they also received a Cooperative Education Program certificate for their work as a Pathways Intern at NASA’s Johnson Space Center, which is also where they first began recognizing their neurodivergence. Their research interests focus on challenging problematic conceptions and operationalizations of gender a ... (continued)

3. Mx. Sage Maul

   Purdue University at West Lafayette (PPI)

   Sage Maul (they/them) is a second-year PhD student in the School of Engineering Education at Purdue University. They received her Bachelor's Degree in Electrical Engineering from Purdue despite struggling with chronic migraines and receiving accommodations. Maul worked in smart metering for 5 years before coming back for their PhD. They were diagnosed with ADHD at age 28. Their research interests involve disabled student experiences in undergraduate engineering coursework.

4. Mr. Taylor V. Williams

   Harding University

   Taylor Williams (he/him) is on the Harding University faculty and is a recent Ph.D. graduate of Purdue University’s School of Engineering Education. His bachelor’s in computer engineering and mathematics is from Harding, and his master’s in biomedical engineering is from Tufts University. At 27, while finishing his master’s work, Taylor was diagnosed with ADD and OCD. These diagnoses have been helpful over the past decade and when untangling his personal history (e.g., the OCD diagnosis has helped direct treatment of previously undiagnosable chronic pain that emerged during his undergraduate studies). He sponsors a student group for the neurodivergent at Harding.

5. Dr. Nadia N. Kellam

   Arizona State University

   Nadia Kellam (she/they) is an Associate Professor of Engineering within The Polytechnic School of the Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering at Arizona State University. They were recently diagnosed with ADHD at age 43. In their research, they are broadly interested in developing critical understandings of the culture of engineering education, and especially, the experiences of undergraduate students (recent work focuses on queer students) and engineering educators (upcoming project focusing on faculty with ADHD) who are marginalized in engineering. They approach much of their research using narrative, arts-based, and critical approaches.

6. Dr. Alice L. Pawley

   Purdue University at West Lafayette (PWL) (COE)

   Alice Pawley (she/hers) is a Professor in the School of Engineering Education and an affiliate faculty member in Environmental and Ecological Engineering and the Women’s Gender and Sexuality Studies Program at Purdue University. She was recently diagnosed with ADHD at age 45. She is the winner of numerous awards, including best paper awards, leadership awards, and a PECASE in 2012. She is strongly involved in Purdue’s American Association of University Professors chapter. Her research group’s diverse projects and group members are described at pawleyresearch.org.

7. Dr. Marissa A Tsugawa

   Utah State University - Engineering Education

   Marissa Tsugawa (she/they) is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Engineering Education at Utah State University. Their research focuses on neurodivergence in engineering to improve the state of accessibility in education and support diversity, equity, inclusion, and social justice. They approach research using identity and motivation theoretical frameworks, social constructionism paradigms, and methodological activism. After seeking an autism diagnosis, Tsugawa was formally diagnosed with ADHD, Bipolar I, General Anxiety Disorder, and PTSD (June 2022, age 32).
