Furthermore, the casestudies that are the basis of several lectures and of many seminar discussions are frequentlyupdated to stay current with the times. To support our 20+ instructors in planning theirinstruction under these circumstances, the program coordinator has created an online LMScourse where more experienced instructors can share materials and methods, and wherestandardized elements of the course can be mapped out in detail for easier onboarding of newfaculty. Prior to 2020, the materials provided there were sparse and not well organized.

For example, over the four academic years leading up to our work onthis project (AY15/16 - AY18/19), the average grade for ASP students was 2.6 (B-) vs. an averageof 3.4 (B+) for non-ASP students. Furthermore, the DFW (D, F, or Withdrawal) rate was 29% forASP students and 8% for non-ASP students.Further, Figures 1-3 indicate that

process. Struggles in statistical training for engineers is not anew phenomenon, and pedagogical approaches were debated as early as 1984 on the best way totrain engineering students effectively [1]. With the varying needs of different engineeringdisciplines, approaches varied widely in an effort to focus on the needs of their students. A shiftto more student participation-focused instruction was developed through an EducationInnovation Project through the Polytechnic University of Valencia in 1995 [2]. In this line ofthought, many engineering statistics courses have shifted to incorporating examples that aremore relevant and challenging students with applying statistics to relevant real-world problemsin their fields with more focus on problem

Although promising, this study is somewhat limited whencompared to the wide scope of the cybersecurity and AI education field.

In doing this, the study aims to address the followingresearch questions: RQ1 What are engineering students’ beliefs about using mental health services?
