项目摘要

This award is funded in whole or in part under the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (Public Law 117-2).Neurodiversity is an emerging paradigm through which neurological differences, traditionally viewed only in terms of disability -- autism spectrum disorders, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, dyslexia -- are instead viewed as human variations having associated impairments but also unique strengths highly relevant to STEM. Yet this group, now representing at least 20% of the US population, is vastly underrepresented in the STEM workforce: recent work suggests that only 11% of STEM undergraduates are neurodiverse, and a 2021 NSF report suggests that only 4.4% of all STEM PhD recipients are neurodiverse. Growing research evidence suggests enhanced abilities and skills in neurodiverse learners highly relevant to the engineering workforce. Examples include enhanced divergent thinking in ADHD, success in competitive colleges for autistic students, and enhanced cognitive and socio-emotional resilience, visuo-spatial ability, and emotional reactivity with corresponding neural differences in dyslexia. The National Science Foundation Broadening Participation in Engineering Phase I award to Vanderbilt University will address the opportunity to more fully include this underutilized workforce by creating the capacity for a future Phase II Center for Equity in Engineering called The Autism Self-advocacy Center for Equity and Neurodiversity in Engineering (The A-SCENE). To be fully ready for Phase II, we need to more fully develop a number of elements through this Phase I grant, specifically: (a) develop an emerging understanding of the strengths, opportunities, aspirations, and results across the undergraduate experience, graduate experience, and workforce development; document and systematically refine this analysis; engage the project Advisory Board and other key stakeholders for feedback and buy-in; and create a collaborative roadmap for implementation of any and all changes needed, including identification of responsible individuals for each change to be implemented for Phase II operation.The proposed vision of A-SCENE is to create a comprehensive and fully interconnected system of programs and supports -- representing a whole Vanderbilt School of Engineering effort in partnership with Fisk University -- to ensure that neurodiverse students can access and succeed in engineering majors and careers, from the undergraduate experience to graduate training and professional development to meaningful engagement in the STEM workforce. The A-SCENE will be a timely, innovative, sustainable, and replicable model that engages neurodiverse students across engineering in educational and research experiences while building a community that celebrates differences, supports needs, develops engineering identity, empowers self-advocacy, opens doors to employment, and inspires nationally a broader paradigm of neuro-inclusive engineering. The A-SCENE builds on unique strengths at both Vanderbilt and Fisk, including the Frist Center for Autism & Innovation, the Fisk-Vanderbilt 3+2 program in engineering, and the College Autism Network. The A-SCENE will reach a large community of neurodiverse individuals, both directly at Vanderbilt and Fisk, as well as broadly through dissemination of the A-SCENE model. For example, at Vanderbilt and Fisk alone, engineering includes ~275 neurodiverse students, with another ~70 entering engineering each year. These numbers reflect the current underrepresentation; a fundamental goal is to identify barriers and implement interventions to significantly broaden participation of this group. In addition to Fisk University, we will identify at least one but preferably up to three additional core university partners for Phase II, which will further amplify impact. Finally, engineering undergraduate and graduate students nationwide now number in excess of 700,000, of whom ~77,000 are expected to be neurodiverse. Finally, dissemination of the A-SCENE Engineering Neurodiversity Playbook and our Autism Career Empowerment professional certification program through ABET, NSF INCLUDES, and other national networks will broaden the impact further still.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
该奖项的全部或部分资金来自《2021年美国救援计划法案》(公法117-2)。神经多样性是一种新兴的范式,通过这种范式,传统上只被视为残疾的神经差异--自闭症谱系障碍、注意力缺陷多动障碍、阅读障碍--被视为人类变异,具有相关的损害,但也是与STEM高度相关的独特优势。然而,这一群体目前至少占美国人口的20%,在STEM劳动力中的比例远远低于这一比例:最近的研究表明,只有11%的STEM本科生是神经病患者,2021年美国国家科学基金会的一份报告表明,在所有STEM博士获得者中,只有4.4%是神经病患者。越来越多的研究证据表明,与工程劳动力高度相关的不同神经性学习者的能力和技能有所增强。例如,ADHD患者的发散思维增强,自闭症学生在竞争激烈的大学取得成功,以及阅读障碍患者的认知和社会情绪韧性、视觉空间能力和情绪反应能力与相应的神经差异增强。美国国家科学基金会扩大范德比尔特大学在工程第一阶段的参与,将通过为未来的工程公平第二阶段中心创建名为工程公平和神经多样性的自闭症自我倡导中心(A-Scene)的能力,抓住机会更充分地纳入这一未得到充分利用的劳动力。为了为第二阶段做好充分的准备,我们需要通过第一阶段的资助更充分地发展一些要素,特别是:(A)对本科生经历、研究生经历和劳动力发展的优势、机会、抱负和结果有一个新的理解;记录并系统地改进这种分析;让项目咨询委员会和其他关键利益攸关方参与反馈和认可;并为实施任何和所有需要的变化创建协作路线图,包括为第二阶段运营实施的每一项变化确定责任人。A-Scene的拟议愿景是创建一个全面且完全相互关联的计划和支持系统--代表与菲斯克大学合作的整个范德比尔特工程学院的努力--以确保不同神经质的学生能够在工程专业和职业生涯中取得成功,从本科经验到研究生培训和专业发展,再到有意义的参与STEM劳动力。A-Scene将是一个及时、创新、可持续和可复制的模式,让工程学领域的不同神经科学生参与教育和研究体验,同时建立一个庆祝差异、支持需求、发展工程学认同感、增强自我倡导能力、打开就业大门并在全国范围内激发更广泛的神经包容性工程学范式的社区。A-Scene建立在范德比尔特和菲斯克独特优势的基础上,包括第一自闭症与创新中心、菲斯克-范德比尔特工程3+2项目和大学自闭症网络。A-Scene将直接在范德比尔特和菲斯克,以及通过A-Scene模式的广泛传播,接触到一个由不同神经质的个人组成的大型社区。例如,仅在范德比尔特和菲斯克两所学校,工程学就包括约275名神经科学生,每年另有约70名学生进入工程学。这些数字反映了目前代表性不足的情况;一个基本目标是查明障碍并采取干预措施,以大大扩大这一群体的参与。除了菲斯克大学,我们将为第二阶段确定至少一个但最好是最多三个核心大学合作伙伴,这将进一步扩大影响。最后,全国工科本科生和研究生的人数目前已超过70万人,其中约7.7万人预计是神经科学生。最后,A场景工程神经多样性手册和我们的自闭症职业赋权专业认证计划通过ABET、NSF在内和其他国家网络的传播将进一步扩大影响。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命,并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估,被认为值得支持。
