student pursuit of engineering through early education awareness.Fluctuations in Education Legislation and ReportsIn the midst of the world’s recognition bestowed on the scientific, technological, engineering,and mathematical minds of Russia for their launch of Sputnik in 1957, this outstandingaccomplishment immediately brought to light the deficiencies in the educational system in theUnited States. Much was published about the STEM deficiencies and the neglected minds of thenation’s talented students, which prompted a whirlwind of short-lived legislation and programs,and published reports.

The promotionof these characteristics are intended to shift perceptions of engineers from object-orientedindividual workers to those who display a “strong work ethic (in collaborations andcommunications), are ethically responsible

. Page 24.468.21. Introduction1.1. BackgroundTeaching and learning engineering design is rather unique since the necessary skills are difficultto attain directly from conventional teaching-learning processes. Unlike other engineeringcourses, which mostly require science and mathematics to solve mainly close-ended problems,engineering design demands additional skills of solving open-ended problems, decision makingand effective communication in design teams. Designers are expected to be team players to solveengineering problems in an iterative manner while always keeping in mind the main designobjective and the concept of uncertainty. Dym1 indicated that one of the attributes that designersexhibit in their design thinking is the ability to assume

The engineers wereparticularly challenged in keeping the big picture in mind throughout the project, and they oftenhad trouble connecting the detailed life cycle assessment work with the larger questions posed bythe artists. Students in both classes viewed the field trip and class visits favorably, but did notseem to fully appreciate the significance of the opportunity presented in fabricating art for aMassMoCA installation. In the Youth Culture and Gender class, students were most challenged by the hands-onaspects of the project because of the ways in which the real-world experience intersected withthe theory they had learned throughout their courses of study.

This raises the question as to whether experiences likeheightened stress or anxiety have become normalized in engineering disciplines such thatstudents are less likely to seek help from a mental health professional.The 2018-2019 Healthy Minds Study (HMS), from which the present study is based, involved asurvey of 60,000 U.S. college students from diverse backgrounds and majors. Comparativeanalyses across undergraduate majors revealed that only 32% of undergraduate engineers with 3significant anxiety or depression symptoms had sought professional help in the last year,compared to 45% of their non-engineering peers [2].
