Neurodiversity in Engineering

The Neurodiversity in Engineering website provides information about Include and several neurodiversity-related programs that are transforming the educational experience for neurodiverse engineering students. With partners across the UConn community, we hope to build an inclusive culture in engineering that celebrates the strengths and potential of all our students.

Happy Friday everyone!

We're happy to share the next webinar from the Northeastern Neurodiversity Initiative. Register for the Spring Coalition Conversation "Creating a Bridge Between Higher Education and the Workplace" today!

More details will be coming soon. You can register via the QR code. We can't wait to see you there!

Hi everyone! We are excited to bring back our Neuroinclusive Teaching Summer Institute (NTSI) for its second year! 

NTSI is an energizing experience aimed at empowering STEM faculty to build more inclusive learning environments through strength-based, neuroinclusive teaching practices. Areas of focus include theoretical approaches to neurodiversity, neurodiversity strengths and challenges, instructional design, accessibility, personalization, and active learning. 

This is a great way to kickstart a course redesign process while becoming part of a warm and welcoming learning community!

Registration and more info can be found through the QR code or the link in our story.

See you there!

Happy Friday everyone and welcome back to campus!

We're two weeks into the Spring 2025 semester and it's already a bit hectic. Coming back to campus after winter break can be difficult for everyone, students and professors alike. As neurodiverse learners, it can more time for us to jump back into the semester and get comfortable.

Just know that you should be proud of your efforts and to be kind to yourself! It's easy to forget how much work you've done when you can only focus on what's next. So be sure to remind yourself of the things you used to be stressed about that you're now on the other side of, and recognize that you've succeeded in many ways!

We're so happy to see everyone back on campus. Thank you for the continued support! We'll see you next week!

Give your brain a rest! You've made it through the Fall 2024 semester!

Take time to congratulate yourself on getting through another semester. Even when things got super stressful, the tasks and exams piled up, the burnout got strong, you've come out on the other side. That's no easy feat! 

Be kind to yourself and recognize that you earned this break. Take the time to recharge and revitalize! We're proud of you!!
