Join us for our learning community, UNIV 1810-078: Neurodiversity in Engineering, this Spring 2024!

It will be a low-intensity, 1-credit course held on Mondays from 1:25 pm to 2:15 pm. In this course, you'll learn more about yourself and be able to join other neurodivergent students at UConn while fostering a sense of belonging and community.

We will provide you with opportunities to discover and explore your strengths while working to promote wellness as we discuss topics related to being a neurodiverse college student. Check out our Neurodiversity in Engineering website, formerly called Neurodiversity at UConn, to see a copy of our past syllabi and a more in-depth description.

If you have any questions, you can contact Connie Syharat, the Include Project Manager, at connie.syharat@uconn.edu or Caressa Wakeman, the Include Graduate Assistant, at caressa.wakeman@uconn.edu. No permission number is required. We hope to see you next Spring!

Professors Kay Wille, Manos Anagnostou, Baikun Li, and Jeongho Kim have been ranked among the world's top 2% of scientists in 2023, according to the Scientist's List by Stanford University, which lists the most widely cited scientists in various disciplines. The prestigious ranking is based on a database that includes more than 200,000 researchers from the more than 10 million scientists considered active worldwide, with 22 scientific fields and 176 subfields considered. The latest ranking reflects the importance of the world's scientists, with their impactful and beneficial research and influence.

You can learn about some of their important work on our website! For instance, Dr. Kim's work on high-performance computing for manufacturing simulations and Dr. Li's work towards carbon monoxide reduction. As well, Dr. Anagnostou works on energy and grid resilience as director of the Eversource Energy Center, and Dr. Wille conducts research concerning material design and characterization of ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC).
