Therefore, the aim of this ScLR is to determine the current state ofscholarly discourse surrounding engineering graduate students’ mental health, forming thefollowing three research questions: (1) What are the major trends and findings present in literature about engineering graduate students’ mental health? (2) What areas of mental health for engineering graduate students are being studied? (3) What are the current gaps in the literature about engineering graduate students’ mental health?There are three central inclusion criteria that come from the scope of the proposed researchquestion: (1) the literature must discuss graduate students, (2) these graduate students must be

Of students who had completed their bachelor’sdegrees, 47% were pursuing a Ph.D. or master’s degree (two of which had received NationalScience Foundation graduate fellowships), 33% professional school (primarily medicine), and20% were working in industry (Figure 3). These numbers are within the range found in previouspublications.

To answer the research questions with confidence, thestudy must examine institutional functioning and student outcomes before and after EC2000.The impact analysis plan therefore includes measurement of student learning outcomes at twopoints in time—pre-EC2000 and post-EC2000. Table 1 arrays four different groups ofinstitutions that provide opportunities to evaluate the impact of EC2000 over time. Bycomparing the performance of graduates from selected engineering

Thirteen undergraduate students have worked on this project over theyears. In comparison, only two M.S.-level graduate students (one of whom originally worked asan undergraduate student on the project) worked on the project over the same time. As a result,much of the research work was completed by these undergraduate students and their effortsplayed a large role in sustaining the project over its duration.Students who worked on this project benefited by performing engineering work in a modernresearch laboratory facility, thereby gaining

This model is not limited to aspecific area of study, but rather encompasses the complexity of work-readiness for allgraduates. The model includes four types of resources: intellectual resources, personalityresources, meta-skill resources, and job-specific resources. Intellectual resources referred to bothfoundation skills (reading, writing, and numbers) and cognitive skills (critical thinking, problem-solving, decision-making and strategic thinking

siteprovided students with ADHD an opportunity to engage in research outside the confines of thetraditional engineering curriculum and interact with other students facing similar challenges. Thispaper presents quantitative and qualitative findings from a semi-structured interview and post-program survey of the students’ experiences. Overall, the major findings suggest that participatingin the program enhanced students’ 1) interest in engineering research, 2) interest in pursuinggraduate studies in engineering, and 3) feelings of belonging in engineering. For instance, allparticipants (N=10) responded either “agree” or “strongly agree” to statements reflecting thatattending the REU site increased their interest in research and in pursuing graduate
