Research paper examines well-being of six consecutive first-year engineeringstudent cohorts at a large research-intensive university. Academic pressures and personalchallenges negatively affect well-being for all students, but first-year students face additionalstressors as they transition into an unfamiliar environment with large classes, a new socialsetting, and increased self-responsibility. Data were collected through weekly surveys includingthe Short Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Wellbeing Scale (SWEMWBS), Perceived Stress Scale(PSS-10), and a stressor selection and ranking activity. Results show a slow, steady decline inwell-being over the academic year, strongly correlated to feelings of stress. Stable year-to-yearpatterns also show academic

Persuasive design, a unidirectional process through mobile appsand other digital-enabled products, may translate to consumer risk or inadvertent outcomes. Inthis study, we examine utilization of ethical safeguards and psychological competencies inundergraduate engineering capstone courses, to inform innovative product design with studentconsideration of user well-being.

In addition, various prompts are insertedwithin the writing exercises to spur metacognitive activity. For example, the two self-ratingquestions of Figure 4 are asked both before a student responds to an exercise’s Question Statement(Pre-Response Self-Rating in Figure 1) and after their response to the exercise’s QuestionStatement (Post-Response Self-Rating in Figure 1).Broadly speaking, the concept of metacognition refers

In interviews with leavers about departing STEM, the students most often citefrustration with the experience in the discipline including criticism of the quality of teaching,advising, and curriculum design. Further students expressed frustration with uninteresting andcontent-laden courses that led to an increasingly negative perception of STEM careers and anoverall disinterest in the subject matter. As a result, much of the focus in engineering educationhas focused on developing engaging classroom experiences through curricular and pedagogicalinnovations.12,13,14,15 This focus has

As a result of this dualism, engineering students aremisled into thinking that engineering exists within a vacuum (Johnson et al., 2019; Trevelyan,2014). If their engineering courses focus solely on building their technical skills, students mayenter the professional field with little experience in addressing bigger problems that affectmembers in society beyond the traditional stakeholders they were exposed to in their engineeringprograms, who are often those who hold the most power in society (Leydens & Lucena, 2017).Efforts to introduce the social dimensions of engineering are typically sprinkled into design andcapstone courses (Leydens & Lucena, 2017) or designated to standalone
