researchers take care of all their livingneeds (planning meals, cooking, cleaning). Because they had no transportation, the researchassociates spent all their time at the WHMF except for occasional trips to West Jefferson, NorthCarolina (an approximate 15-minute drive, one way) or outings related to the needs of WHMF.Host partners west and Redman served as learning guides and mentors. They identified projectneeds and shared knowledge, however they largely entrusted the research associates to designand complete the projects. These projects ranged in scale and scope from repairs (e.g.,retrofitting a 200 square-foot building with shear bracing on the foundation) to designingprocesses (e.g., a humane process to harvest livestock).

Forthis pilot year we had 10 students in our LLC. Seven were computer science majors,two were engineering majors, and one was a history major.We note that this LLC is aligned with a broader JEDI effort in our school. One of ourNSF funded projects, the multi-institutional Partnership For Equity(partnership4equity.org) project, is piloting and studying the infusion of DEI issues intothe technical classroom. Publications from the project speak to successes andchallenges of infusing DEI into the classroom(APRH18,ACRP+19,CaAF22,CAHB21,LGAN+22,LePa21,PARF15,RAPM+21,RPPA+21). Our hopeis that the

Thus, we have developed and offeredmultiple workshops. In Year 6, we offered two workshops.Due to the broad nature of the disciplines represented by MIDFIELD, this project has cross-Directorate support from the Directorates of Engineering

Additionally, some research has indicated that engineering students whoexperience mental health challenges are less likely to seek help for mental health concerns [2].Our previous research has described a culture of stress in engineering, where high stress levelsand poor mental health are expected or deemed as necessary for success by undergraduatestudents [3]. The goal of this project is to further understand undergraduate engineering students’experiences with mental health during their undergraduate degree programs in order to developand improve proactive trainings, policies, and interventions that
provide a useful framework for considering, designing,implementing, and evaluating innovative engineering curricula and pedagogical best practices.Research Methods and ProceduresThis paper describes the implementation and evaluation of EML activities added to a learningmodule and to a Project Based Learning (PBL) activity part of that learning module.

questions are summarized by the two major goals of this project: 1)characterize expert engineering intuition (RQ1, RQ2 and RQ3), and 2) design an instrument tomeasure engineering intuition (RQ4). Work undertaken and completed on this project over thefirst two years has characterized expert engineering intuition using interviews of practicingengineers and led to the design of a survey instrument to measure the engineering intuition ofengineering students.BackgroundLiterature from the fields of nursing [1], management [2], and expertise development [3] suggestintuition plays a role in both decision-making and expertise development. Academic models todate in engineering education fall short of defining or describing how to develop intuition.Expertise
