and Mental HealthAbstractMental health is a key attribute for success in graduate programs. However, previous studiesdemonstrate a growing mental health crisis in graduate education, which can contribute to issueswith productivity, departure, and well-being. Engineering students are not immune to this crisis,yet are one of the least likely disciplines to seek help for mental health.Despite this trend, there is limited literature available to provide evidence-based practices foraddressing the causes and persistence of mental health issues for engineering graduate students.To address this need and to begin advocating for systemic change, this project will explore howfaculty and student attitudes about mental health intersect with the

Roadmap for the hybrid online courseIn the beginning of each week, the instructor would publish a week module on Canvas, withinwhich there would be one overview page, microlectures, pre-recorded lecture videos (each ofwhich would be within 30 minutes), reading materials, and a quiz. Students then could watch thelecture videos, read supplemental materials, and finish the quiz based on their own schedule in thatweek. There was also a team project along the semester which was used as the substitution for theprevious field trips. Many other practices were also

The research aim of this project is to studywhether developing skills in self-advocacy of historically minoritized students will support theiracademic success and would be demonstrated by strong sense of belonging and self-efficacy in achosen field of PhD study, increased motivation in help-seeking and health or wellbeing, andincreased motivation to advocate for themselves or others and take on leader roles within theirresearch groups, departments or in service work on and off campus.Programming Because of

As such, trainingprograms such as ExCEEd [1] help faculty develop these methods and incorporate them into theclassrooms. Props can be simple and low cost, such as incorporating foam blocks, tubes, anddrinking straws; in some cases, props and teaching technologies can be more intricate, requiringtraining and the

Themes of climate change, United Nations,Engineers Without Borders, grand challenges, developing countries, and communitydevelopment emerged in this cluster. In addition, both first-year and senior design projects showup in this cluster. An interesting observation about this cluster is the presence of ‘social justice’which did not show up in the epoch trend analysis (though “community development” doesappear). Of the three pillars in SD, ‘social justice’ falls under the social pillar, the least discussedaspect of SD in engineering fields. This

, and project sponsors. The literaturereveals that the struggles doctoral students face are largely the result of complicated relationships withand within the academic environment [8]. Factors that affect student persistence are commonly groupedinto personal factors, such as imposter syndrome and mental health, and systemic factors, such as fundingand advisory fit [9]. These issues are even more prominent for individuals with non-normative identitiesin fields like engineering, which is recognized for being gendered and raced [10]. Students fromhistorically marginalized populations have a complicated relationship with the academies, particularly inengineering. Individuals from minoritized and disadvantaged backgrounds often lack the social
