revealed how the ubiquity ofthat stress culture leads to the normalization and trivialization of mental health challenges. Thecommon thinking seems to be that because all engineering students are stressed out, there are noreal mental health challenges to be concerned about; anyone suffering is just like everyone else,and therefore not to be taken seriously. In other words, mental health challenges are beingconflated with a level of stress engineering students should be able to handle (see section 6) bystudents, faculty, and counselors. Common is being conflated with unproblematic. As oneinterviewee explained, engineering “is really tough, so we’re all depressed, like all messed upmentally, so everything gets swept under the rug.

technology can solve. Once students settle on a technical topic, they work to develop a practical scope anddepth that refines the topic. For example, a student who expresses interest in the problem ofclimate change is encouraged to focus on a sub-issue such as rising sea levels or deforestation. Astudent interested in pursuing new and innovative solutions for amputees is encouraged to focuson lower or upper body amputations, not both. Refinement of the student’s topic enables amanageable scope and a depth that is ideal for a technical talk given to a wide audience.

For example, Lang [14] examines many issues behind students’ motivation forcheating and ways to redesign a course to mitigate dishonesty and to encourage deeper learning.Lang describes using “grounded assessment” to help reduce cheating. This process involvesestablishing new assessments that are unique to each course and each semester. Lang also notesthat many student organizations pride themselves on retaining exams and homework from priorsemesters and make these available to their members. He also argues that environments thatreduce the opportunity to cheat also
