It doesn't really matter whether it's in person or online, and those ones I preferred online because the quality was the same as I would expect in person. (ST12) If it's just a course where you sit down and take notes on probably some math heavy subject or something like ECE [Electrical and Computer Engineering] or physics related, it's probably okay because you're pretty much just translating the lecture into just video format.

oftheir students. They perceived engineering undergraduate studies to be tough and stressful withmany students suffering from mental health problems. For example, a study participant had thefollowing views. “A lot of students are stressed a lot of the time, so any opportunities, they have to help students remember to be mindful. Mental and emotional support is needed. Reminding students to drink water during the class could be really helpful.” (Student 2).Simple steps taken by the institution to help remind students to be mindful could prove vital topositively influence the MHW of engineering undergraduates. For example, as stated by the studyparticipant above, reminding students in the class to take it easy and just have a glass of water

. This work is implemented in an equity-minded frame to ensure thatwe support the learning and experience of all students. Students in first-year engineering designcourses often ineffectively deploy design process phases and activities, which can limit theirlearning and negatively impact the quality of their deliverables. To further encourage students tointentionally engage in the appropriate design process phases and activities, we supplement ourcurrent instruction with a new activity that includes a modified time diary and a structuredreflection activity. This work-in-progress paper begins analyzing our data to understand the roleplayed by these activities in student learning.We analyze students’ self-assessments of learning and engineering

So, they only care about, oh, I need to pass, I need to score this, I need to score that. Not the, oh, I need to understand this… students will not have faced any difficulty or face any kind of stress from using this kind of tool that, in their mind, it doesn't make sense to avoid it.’ (Clint)This statement by Clint has sadly revealed the fact that some students inside our engineeringfaculties are studying engineering simply for a degree instead of getting a deeper understandingof

Althoughprevious research suggests that engineering doctoral students are motivated by and mindful of theircareer goals [35], we found that three of the four participants were not actively thinking about theircareer goals. In further discussions, the participants explained that their careers seemed so distantin the future that it did not make sense for them to seriously consider career goals as first-yearstudents. Although the participants were not hyper-focused on their career goals throughout theinterviews, they did experience changes in these goals. As they became more socialized inacademia, they experienced academic disenchantment [16], [17]. Mark Lankenau and Tashadisagreed with some of the mainstream teaching and
