A recent study at a large public institution in the West found that 38% of engineeringstudents who responded to a mental health survey (n~700) screened as high risk of seriousmental illness. When broken down by major, 25% of the materials engineering studentrespondents were at high risk, and 28% of the mechanical engineering student respondents wereat high risk, compared to 38% for the overall engineering population. To address this problem,we designed a study to understand the mental wellness goals important to materials engineeringand mechanical engineering students. This study sought to answer the following questions: 1)what types of goals, related to mental well-being, are important to materials engineering andmechanical engineering

students over what theylearn and how, while also decreasing time spent on higher quality evaluation. Specifications grading, an evolution of contract grading [1], is a novel grading approachintroduced by Nilson [2] designed to help motivate students to focus on learning rather thanfeeling the need to obsessively count points. In a specifications grading approach, facultyprovide clear specifications of what is required to earn a given grade in the class. Rather thanbasing grades on point totals or a weighting system, students are given the option to completespecific assignments or bundles of assignments that link to a specified grade. Each assignment isgraded on a pass/fail basis where passing is typically defined as B or B+ level work

Asan example, if the instructor only wishes to ensure that a section of 16 students ispartitioned into 4 teams of equal size and with each team having maximally homogeneousstudent majors, then the instructor can quickly find sets of 4 students that have the samemajor, followed by sets of 4 students with 2 majors represented, etc. On the other hand,this optimization problem quickly gets to be
