AB  - In light of an emerging mental health crisis and the increasing diversity of the student body in undergraduate engineering education, this qualitative study explores student perceptions of university support regarding their wellbeing. We conducted focus groups with 16 undergraduate engineering students from a large R1 public minority-serving institution. Our participants largely perceived university personnel and resources as an insignificant source of support regarding their wellbeing. The findings on the lack of perceived support are organized by departmental and university-level influences. The students also identify areas for improvement that have posed barriers to their awareness and utilization of university supports and services and to their overall wellbeing. The method of soliciting student perspectives has implications for institutions wanting to examine their own practices and policies in order to better support students’ whole selves.

Keywords: wellbeing, student support, undergraduate, student experience, student perception, thematic analysis
