Engineering Education, 2024 Lessons Learned: Faculty Development Book Club to Promote Reflection among Engineering Faculty on Mental Health of StudentsIntroductionIt is a real difficult challenge walking through this world full of monsters when our own bodies and minds can be monstrous. - Sarah Rose CavanaghIn universities around the U.S., mental health issues are on the rise [1], [2], [3]. College studentsare at increased mental health risks due to major mental health problems manifesting during earlyadulthood [4], and significant life changes (e.g., changes in independence, environment, and socialsupport, academic pressures/competition) [5], [6].

instruction may either generatenew alternative frameworks for the students or support the old ones. As a result, attempts tochange students’ conceptions of a particular phenomenon using conceptual change strategiesmay not be as fruitful as we would either hope or expect because, in the end, teachers deliver theinstruction we design.10 Teachers who have naïve or alternative frameworks or conceptions of asubject may not teach them well or they may produce ill-structured schema in students’ minds. Unlike the well-established field of the philosophy of science, no equivalent study of thephilosophy of engineering exists.13 However, inasmuch as engineering and engineering artifactsare part of our everyday life, elementary school students and their

Vygotsky’s observations stemmedfrom cultural change in Russia during his lifetime. He noticed change in what would then becalled the developmental learning pathways of individuals based on grand scale societal changes.Thus, the societal impetus was responsible for changing lifelong learning habits and the minds ofindividuals. In the engineering education community, many efforts are spent on developingphenomenographical approaches to problems, but almost none are spent on phenomenological orexistential approaches to problems. The issue at hand may be two-fold: first, phenomenographyas a research

,and society.A key characteristic of traditional humanities courses is their reliance on teacher-directedcurriculum and lecture-based instruction [15]. This approach, while familiar to many humanitiesprofessors who report spending a significant amount of time on teaching [16] can be lessengaging for engineering students. More importantly, these traditional methods of lecturedelivery often fail to cultivate the essential “Engineering Habits of Mind (EHoM)” required forsuccess in the modern engineering landscape. EHoM represents a set of core skills and mindsetssuch as systems thinking, adapting, problem-finding, and creative problem-solving thatdistinguishes engineers from other professions [17].Therefore, the use of PBL in teaching humanities

majors and careers. Based on interviews with and surveys offourth- and fifth-grade girls participating in an engineering outreach program, we questionwhether youth are looking for career role models, and we challenge the assumption that youthwill take up an adult as a role model simply because the adult is presented as such. We questionwhat role these “models” play in the minds and lives of youth and argue that it may differ fromwhat we expect. To be clear, we are not arguing that engineering role models are not importantor not influential. Rather, we think it is important to gain a better understanding of how youth,particularly girls, view these potential engineering role models, which will allow us to optimizethe significance of these adults

One enjoyable part of this project was the opportunity totranscend familiar professional boundaries and to creatively engage with one’s stakeholders. Thedistributed workflow presented some challenges, as Mr. Barber noted in his commentary, andone thing to keep in mind is that students like Mr. Mohan likewise often have multiplecompeting demands on their time. A co-creation model requires patience, good humor, andsufficient “drawer time” to allow the product to germinate into an integrated whole.When adopting co-creation curricular development models, engineering faculty need to beprepared to check their biases and assumptions at the door.

Please note most conclusions areabout the future since most of the prototyping had to do with the present which acted as abaseline and the average person prototypes for present times were nearly identically to another.SummaryStudents often use existing commonly available technologies and/or methods to prototypepresent items.
