Drawing from the results of Year 1 of study and a review of the literature on graduatestudent stressors, we developed in Year 2 the Stressors for Doctoral Students Questionnaire forEngineering (SDSQ-E) and administered it twice, in fall 2022 [15] and in spring 2023. TheSDSQ-E measures the severity and frequency of stressors including advisor-related stressors,class-taking stressors, research or laboratory stressors, campus life and financial stressors, andidentity-related or microaggression-related stressors.

ENGR 111 has studentsapplying the programming fundamentals while integrating circuitry.ENGR 111 was developed to use Arduino microcontrollers (Arduinos) as the primaryprogramming environment. One motivator for this decision was to show students that coreprogramming fundamentals are the same across multiple programming languages, i.e., an ifstatement is still a conditional that may have slightly different syntax. Arduinos are used inENGR 111 due to the ease in teaching basic circuitry and the interaction with the circuitry viaprogramming.The ENGR 111 course has a team-based Cornerstone project that all students complete,demonstrate, and present at the end of the semester.

Lastly, existing literature does not make clear the instructional techniques usedto teach students’ shop skills. In light of the aforementioned complexity of these projects, onecan reasonably assume students were closely coached and monitored, thus limiting theiropportunities to develop enduring competencies in machining.

social skills are likely to vary widely among engineering students [2], there isa benefit to creating opportunities for students to develop and refine their skills. A potential idealenvironment for teaching and developing social skills is laboratory situations in which studentscollaborate as they work in teams [3, 4].Students are much more likely to experience positive growth in their social skills when thosethey seek support from when learning (e.g., faculty members, and mentors) integrate and modeleffective social skills in their interactions [5].

Abstract Chemical engineering is a complex interconnected major. Just as chemical engineers have broken complex processes into unit operations, the chemical engineering curriculum has been broken up into courses. The organization of these courses varies amongst institutions and are based on years of prior teaching and research. Despite this, there have been calls to reevaluate the curriculum from both in- dustry and academia. We propose a graph-based representation of curricula in which topics are repre- sented by nodes and topic dependencies are represented by directed edges forming a directed acyclic graph. This enables using graph theory measures and tools to provide formal ways of evaluating a curriculum. Additionally, the
