To improve the department’s CQI process with constituent input and to advancecollaboration between faculty and industry, the department decided to develop a program forrating student work with teams comprised of one faculty member partnered with one industryprofessional.

-Progress: Exploring the perceptions of engineering and science faculty on health, well-being, and thrivingThis work-in-progress research paper explores faculty’s experiences during their ownundergraduate programs, as well as the role of health and wellbeing in their success as students.The culture of stress and hardship promoted in engineering education has been scrutinized asnegatively affecting students, especially those from marginalized groups. However, little iscurrently known about the interactions among multiple actors in the engineering educationecosystem and their contributions to perpetuating such culture. Faculty directly impact students’experiences in engineering programs through first-hand interactions with students
