However, the implementation of communication training in engineeringeducation continues to face many challenges, including that, in engineering schools,Communication is frequently essentialized to “writing and speaking skills,” and as a result, theempirical and theoretical richness of the Communication field is rarely recognized orincorporated into engineering communication training programs.Below, we

This work proposes a theoretical model in which the sense of belonging andsense of mattering have effects on mental well-being, while mental well-being has effects onstudents' academic self-regulation. This theoretical model was tested by using structural equationmodeling, with data from an online survey applied to 1,872 engineering undergraduate studentsduring the first semester of 2022. The main fit indicators of the model with the empirical datasatisfactorily meet the cut-off criteria established (RMSEA=0.041; SRMR=0.038; CFI=0.998;TLI=0.998). The central effects proposed in the resulting theoretical model are

There is considerable tension with respect to creatingauthentic, realistic, open challenges while also ensuring that each team moves in a direction thatworks to reinforce course content. Similarly, this creates a challenge with providing sufficientguidance to each team to draw connections between past experiences, present experiences, andcourse content in a way that will make the learning truly meaningful [11], [12].References[1] ABET, “Criteria for Accrediting Engineering Programs, 2022–2023,” Baltimore, MD: ABET,2022.[2] NAE, The Engineer of 2020: Visions of Engineering in the New Century.

Through our first implementation, we saw the need for increased self-efficacy andconfidence and ways to help students manage high stress levels in their first year of theengineering curriculum. We believe that a focused effort on well-being and academic supportwill have a positive impact on students’ beliefs about their ability to succeed in engineering aswell as their ability to manage high course workloads in courses, thus impacting retention of thisspecific population of

This program ran in the 2022-2023academic year, and impact was monitored each semester. Initial results are promising, assemester I to semester II first-year student retention improved by over 20%, however, moreanalysis is needed to investigate all factors that may have contributed to this rise.

Further need for an IDP can be found by a recent survey in Natureon graduate programs, which found that only 1/3 of graduate students were satisfied with thecareer-pathway guidance and advice that they received [3]. And while almost all engineeringundergraduate programs include courses in “professionalism”, many master’s programs do not.The project “STEM Master’s IDP as an Essential Tool in Workforce Development” was fundedby the NSF (Award Abstract #1940221 and#193934, 2020-2022).

These shortageshave significantly impacted the automotive industry and consumer electronics and, moreimportantly, caused a rethinking of global supply chains [1].
