research to explore experiences of engineers with a diagnosed mental illness[21]; preliminary findings discuss Jack, a late career engineer, and his journey with mental healthfrom college to industry. Preliminary analysis highlights specific aspects of the culture ofengineering influencing this journey, such as a lack of information on depression being sharedwhile in college, the de-emphasis on socializing in his first job, and stigmatization faced onceemployers learned about his illness [21]. These findings, although limited, highlight theimportance of studying engineering graduate students’ mental health.In an effort to uncover the landscape of research about engineering graduate student mentalhealth, a scoping literature review was conducted by

explosion, ABET was advised to adapttheir accreditation requirements to incorporate process safety [13], [20]. This adaptation isevident in ABET’s student outcome that states that a student will demonstrate “an ability torecognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informedjudgments, which must consider the impact of engineering solutions in global, economic,environmental, and societal contexts” [6]. Ever since, process safety in undergraduate curriculahas been a key component in training today’s engineers for their future careers [7]. However, forstudents who have only seen process safety situations through coursework, it may be challengingto pivot to more complex situations in a professional setting

However, EE spansa much broader spectrum. The topics of communications and networking are often not presentedto high school students at all, and students are unaware of the fascinating challenges connectedwith careers in this direction.The current pandemic, entailing remote education, offers a unique opportunity to teachcommunications and networking.
