The situation seems to havebeen exacerbated by the Covid-19 Pandemic. In undergraduate engineering education in particular, anoverall stress culture prevails caused by high academic workload, sleep deprivation, higher self-expectations, and other factors that resulted in less time available for students to use directing their

One-on-one, 60-minute semi-structured interviews wereconducted with engineering faculty members who have less than two years of total teachingexperience as an instructor. The first stages of Campbell’s Hero’s Journey were used to facilitatethe dialog and provide a narrative structure to the interview. The participants were askedquestions related to three aspects of their teaching story: (1) the call to adventure, (2) challengeson the road, and (3) finding help.

Many students on residentialcampuses were also forced to move back home during the middle of their academic year aspopulation-dense student dormitories were shut down to further minimize the risk of virustransmission. Against this chaotic backdrop, it is not surprising that data collected during theearly stages of the COVID pandemic show a surge in mental health issues among engineeringand pre-engineering students [1], [2].

However, given the diversity of such programsacross the country concerning resources available, such as proximity to a major medical school,teaching hospital, active residency programs, etc., it is challenging to derive a universal "one sizefits all" approach for such a course, as well as challenges in reporting their efficacy [6–8].

The successful implementation oftechnologies relies heavily on an instructor’s knowledge of the technology and ability tointegrate it into their class [3]. Researchers have studied the barriers and dynamics of technologyadoption by faculty members. Some of these barriers include perceived usefulness (or lackthereof), structural constraints (such as technical support), lack of time to learn new technologies,and varying levels of faculty proficiency with technology, among others [4].With such a wide variety of technological tools and approaches designed to improve the learningexperience available on the market today, it is

However, less than 20% of the teachers who are currently teaching these standaloneengineering courses have a major or minor in engineering or an engineering-related discipline,and the majority are not certified to teach engineering [3]. In addition, it was reported in 2018that only 3% of elementary teachers, 10% of middle school science teachers, and 13% of highschool science teachers had completed even a single course in engineering [2].Research has demonstrated that the perceptions that K-12 teachers hold about engineers andengineering are often inaccurate.

Welding oftencauses metals to change in composition, which can lead to a decline in physical properties,including strength and corrosion resistance. Even more so when the welded pieces are dissimilarmetals. In this paper it was found that the corrosion resistance of the welded joint in acidicenvironments (1% HCl at 35, 45, and 55 Celsius) increased when the SiC powder was added.

This trend is largely a response to a perception that engineeringstudents graduate with insufficient design experience, underdeveloped professional competenciessuch as communication skills and teamwork, and a poor understanding of the many societalcontexts in which engineers must operate [1]. PBL is viewed as a powerful tool for addressingthese needs, as project work is self-directed in
