c American Society for Engineering Education, 2017Trailing or Failing? A Hidden Mental Health Issue: The Changing FuturesProject 1. AbstractThe ‘Changing Futures Project’ aimed to directly tackle an issue that has been long reportedin both academic and professional body spheres, that of student failure in engineering education[1,2] . It focused on the experiences of 96 Engineering & Applied Science students who wereclassified as ‘failing’ or ‘trailing’ in one or more modules. One of the unforeseen outcomes ofthe project was the high numbers of students who reported that they had been experiencingmental health problems at the time when they found themselves failing. By putting in a seriesof academic and individual support

that the recursive, dynamic, multi-directional, and complex nature of self-regulated learning always occur in a context. This studyintent to learn about the influence of contexts on students’ self-regulation during the Capstonedesign course by comparing the biological engineering (BE) and the mechanical & aerospaceengineering (MAE) students’ self-regulation activities. We recruited four senior student groups.They worked in four different Capstone design projects at a public university in the mountainwest of the United States of America. Two groups were recruited from the BE department, andanother two groups were recruited from the MAE department. Various qualitative andquantitative data was collected. The analyses were framed using Butler

- iting tissue degeneration and enhancing tissue regeneration and wound healing. We combine agent-based computational modeling, in vivo imaging, and new experimental approaches to examine and control the multi-cell interactions involved in microvascular network patterning. We are particularly interested in learning how diseases, such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease, affect angiogenesis and arteriogenesis in different tissues, such as skin, retina, and muscle. My research spans basic science discovery to the de- sign of therapies for regenerative medicine. Current projects seek to exploit perivascular cells (pericytes), inflammatory cells (e.g. monocytes and macrophages), and tissue-resident stem cells to invoke

equipping students with relevant skills, an overviewof professional engagement, and a major project. The major project for the course involvedteams of 3-4 students working to design one of two civil engineering challenges: either a 20-footcantilevered wooden bridge or a 25-foot diameter wooden tripod. There were two fundamentalpurposes to the course: students were to learn more about their specific discipline so as toestablish realistic goals and motivations for their education and career, and students were tocomplete a major project in order to develop teamwork skills, integrate into the program, andbuild confidence in their ability to overcome intimidating challenges. These initiatives wereintended to improve student engagement with the course
