It is also essential in global education to recognize the needs of participants.

Finally, weencourage people to go.

Prior workhas shown that several factors can influence an individuals’ mental health, including, but notlimited to, a students’ demographics, social factors, available resources, values, motivation, andacademic discipline. The purpose of this study is to focus specifically on how social aspects caninfluence graduate students’ mental health, or mental and emotional well-being.

on a deep and fundamental level [W]e all know that you can get an A or a B in a class and not understand it. You can know it, but not understand it…And as a practicing engineer I know you have to KNOW it, you have to understand it fundamentally in order to use it in practice. So my goals now are to understand…you know that you need to know it. Period. And get it in your head and understand it. Fundamentally. So you can change any knob and understand what’s going on.Catherine recognizes that, in the workforce, engineers face problems that they never explicitlylearned to solve in their coursework.

. B ─ CONCEPTUAL SKILLS AND VISIONConceptual skills include handling ideas, thoughts and concepts. These include critical reasoning, creativethinking, and reflective thinking.Critical Reasoning Critical reasoning involves needs-finding, assessment of alternatives that satisfy theneed, and reflection on outcomes. In short, critical reasoning or creative problem solving is what effectiveengineer-leaders do. Experience plays an important role in critical reasoning because current bestpractices often are the starting point for exploration of alternatives to a problem. Experience allows theengineer-leader to judge the viability of current technologies and propose new solution to the problems athand. Reflection on past projects, the solutions to
