We can theninfer whether the intern program is contributing toward the two DoE goals and the Justice40objective. The survey results will also provide an indirect ABET assessment of our engineeringprograms.Over the coming years, our team will establish a cadence of candidate recruitment, programoperation, survey administration, and analysis of survey results. Survey results will be used toimprove program operations, improve data collection, and inform our evaluation of the DoE andJustice40 goals. Our team will follow up on this WIP with subsequent ASEE publications thatreport on the assessment

215 students consented to participate inthe study across two years of data collection. We collected data in two iterations of two coursesthat made specific changes from in-person laboratory experiments to online experimentationthrough simulations.The first course was a one-credit course that serves as an introduction to chemical engineeringand contained primarily students in their first year of college. The first-year students worked ingroups. In 2019, 71 students in 19 groups provided consent and in 2020, 51 students in 13 groupsprovided consent.The second course was a three-credit laboratory course (the first of a four-course laboratorysequence) focused on thermodynamics. This course contained junior chemical engineers whoworked in groups

RedShirt students in the sophomore and junioryears responded to a semi-structured list of questions through focus group participation, withsome individual follow-up interviews.The thematic findings from sophomores and juniors include: academic strategies for respondingto more challenging classes; adjusting to new peer groups; developing identity as a minoritizedstudent; effects of advising interactions; and, dealing with living arrangements and other externalfactors. Additionally, themes from 2019-2020 include how students adapted to the

and arts-based research methods paper seeks to make visible the mechanismsand linkages between institutional prestige seeking, engineering education’s disciplinary culturalnotions of rigor, and the invisible and unexamined impacts on engineering students’ mentalhealth, particularly among underrepresented students. Our purpose is to increase awareness,generate new decolonizing discourses, and support action and activism in engineering educationtoward improving student mental health and the inclusion and support of underrepresentedstudents. Through examining these linkages and mechanisms (Apple, 2019; Riley, 2017),engineering educators and researchers can further explore the unforeseen consequences ofunquestioned–and sometimes invisible
