the focus of existing literatureabout STEM doctoral student experiences and stressors. However, these themes are in mostcases closely related to known stressors in the general workplace stress literature and in studiesof academic culture and postsecondary student stress. To highlight these themes, we brieflyreport these stressors below.Travel-related stressors for international students. International students often spoke of stressorsrelated to being unable to travel to or from home, either due to travel bans or restrictions,difficulty getting flights, visa problems, and/or COVID-19 outbreaks. Both the uncertainty offuture plans and homesickness related to being unable to be in person with family were noted asmajor stressors for many

show students the beauty in the physics andengineering concepts they are laboring to learn. Due to this neglect, many engineering studentscomplete their engineering courses with the ability to solve complex engineering problems but nodesire to further explore the topics they have learned. In fact, in some cases STEM students leavetheir classes feeling that the topics that they learn about are unrelated to the real world andfrivolous. Because of this emotional response it is becoming common to see students graduatingfrom university with degrees in STEM but no plans to pursue a career in a STEM field[1].Although the Mechanical Engineering curriculum at the University of Colorado has a significantemphasis on design, all the formal design

This is after the instructor presents a briefoverview of the concepts students first learned about by watching the pre-lecture videos. Theoverview is a reminder and a lead to help students use that early knowledge to solve a problem.In phase 2 (problem solving), students arrive to a computationally assisted solution throughcareful reading of the problem, discussion with their teammates and experimentation thatinvolves learning iteratively by erring, reasoning about where they erred and why, and finallycorrecting and arriving to the solution. At this stage, the instructor and TAs walk around

Several of the assignedprojects could not be completed to the planned levels within the time frame of the semester due tothese issues.

In both classes, we taught the same curriculum, had the same lesson plan, and thesame group of teaching assistants. The oral examinations maintained the same format, coveringthe same topics with comparable levels of difficulty. In the second class, we added the videoassignments to each weekly homework. All oral exams were conducted over Zoom.The average oral exam scores in the cohort without video assignments (n = 31) was 7.23±1.71and in the cohort with video assignments (n = 24) was 8.79±1.28.

This suggests thateducators familiar with relevant learning standards and related content can utilize freely-available activity plans by leveraging their expertise when adopting material (though manyeducators may be averse to this due to a lack of formal training in engineering education).DiscussionWhile engineering is a natural fit for engaging students in math and science, actually doing socan be challenging.
