students' path into STEM?Toward answering this question, this paper explores the lived experiences of a group of studentsenrolled in a non-disciplinary engineering program at a mid-Atlantic, primarily undergraduate,comprehensive, public university. For these students, we examine their described pathways intoengineering by identifying and defining the types of influential experiences on the constructs ofhighly structured activities to completely unstructured activities and those driven by certainforms of curiosity. Their pathways provide insight into the overlapping experiences of learningin formal educational settings as well informal settings such as the home. Defining theseactivities allows for a clearer understanding of what constitutes

majordifferences between coping networks of students who are able to successfully manage stress versusthose who are not able to? To answer these questions, we surveyed graduate engineering studentsat a mid-sized Mid-Atlantic institution. The survey consists of three major sections: (1) thePerceived Stress Questionnaire (S. Levenstein, et al. J. Psychosom. Res., vol 37, no. 1, pp. 19-32,1993.), which is a validated instrument that assesses an individual's perceived stress level, (2) asection for respondents to identify and rank major sources of stress, and (3) a section forrespondents to identify and rank major coping strategies. The survey identified research, grades,and issues relating to mental health as major stressors for all groups, and people
