students must be “calculus ready” when they arrive. Alas, a large fraction (60.0%) of admitted students who initially express interest in engineering do not place into calculus after taking the university’s math placement exam just prior to the start of freshman year, and many of them ultimately choose another major besides engineering. This situation impacts many engineering programs nationally [1–4], and it disproportionately impacts Pell-eligible engineering students at WWU. • Students who successfully complete the second year of the engineering programs are retained through graduation at a relatively high rate (95.4%). However, retention from the point of expressing initial interest in

dominant narratives of exclusion as they cope with shame [4, 10].This project is designed to address two significant gaps in extant literature: 1) the role ofprofessional shame in facilitating or mitigating cultural patterns of well-being; 2) the complex,dynamic nature of the lived emotional experiences of engineering faculty. We organize thisproject around the following objectives: Objective 1: Examine social and individual experiences of professional shame in engineering faculty. Objective 2: Characterize the link between faculty’s emotional experience and their surrounding cultures of well-being. Objective 3: Establish a framework to provide training for engineering programs to establish cultures that support
dismal [1]. The historical exclusion of Black and Brown students can be linkedto systemic racism infused throughout engineering education. The status quo of who gets to bean engineer is often associated with white, cisgender men, resulting in an exclusionary culturebased on white and masculine norms and values [2]. Thus, progress toward diversifyingengineering and building an inclusive culture remains insufficient. While existing scholarship has explored the barriers racially/ethnically minoritizedstudents face in engineering and the change strategies that promote pedagogical innovations inengineering education, this CAREER project sits at the intersection of both topics. Morespecifically, research efforts focused on broadening

TheCOVID-19 pandemic has not only accelerated the growth in data and devices but has alsovalidated their importance in modern healthcare. The principal focus of health informatics is onthe interoperability of systems and devices and the data that they produce and exchange [2].Whereas several universities offer degree programs and graduate courses in health informatics,very few institutions, Wentworth Institute included, offer courses in health informatics toundergraduate Biomedical Engineering (BME) students.

unprecedented ratesof mental health concerns in university students [1] and overburdened counseling centers [2],doctoral students face an additional crisis of retention, with national attrition rates of 43% fordoctoral students [3]. Evidence suggests that these situations are worsening in light of theCOVID-19 pandemic [4].Previous studies of graduate student stress have linked stressors and anxiety to student retention[5]. Studies promoting graduate student well-being have generally focused on reactiveinterventions (e.g., [6], [7]) and a wide range of studies involving stressors focus on particularsources of stress, labs, or populations, meaning the broader landscape of stressors andpopulations must be contextualized using multiple sources (e.g., [8
