The column three, Table 1 provides examples ofhow the eight dimensions of wellness relate to college aged students, but they are not exclusiveto students enrolled in an engineering program. Not all students need to work on alldimensions equally or simultaneously. Rather, a self-care assessment can help students identifywhere they might be deficient and provide guidance on the type of strategies to seek out.4. Wellness program

Our other set of learning outcomes and program objectives, focused on providing middle schoolersto a couple of “big picture” ideas associated with both engineering and computer literacy. We followed theNext Generation Science Standards (NGSS) which set a national agenda for developmentally appropriateengagement in science and engineering learning [6].

The studybuilds on a wealth of research around the lack of diversity in engineering [4-7] and the positiveimpacts of service learning in higher education [8]. Various programs have
standards, NSPE’sconsistent anti-union stance lays bare a clear bias to the needs of industry and the capitalist modeof production at the expense of the collective bargaining power of engineers as workers. NSPE isan influential organization in the codification of engineering rules of practice, so it is valuable todeconstruct their application of their code of ethics to justify anti-union arguments.As workers tasked with materializing social visions, engineers in the United States, and thetechnical knowledge they hold, are significant forces of production in modern society [4].
