Through this, engineers generate potential solutions to theproblem, select an optimal solution, and design and engage in a step-by step-plan(s) andassociated analysis using engineering disciplinary skills. They verify results, evaluate, and adjustthe solutions they work on accordingly, until they reach an optimal solution for their identifiedproblems.10 This is an important process for practicing engineers, however, rarely are first yearengineering students exposed to and able to practice this process. Our program addresses thisimportant practice during the first semester that

analysis to analyze the interviews and video transcripts since it allows for asystematic way of seeing and processing qualitative data [38]. We followed Braun and Clarke[38]’s six-phase method for thematic analysis, which encompassed familiarizing yourself withdata, generating initial codes, searching for themes, reviewing, defining, and naming the themes,and creating the report. First, statements in the interview were coded with descriptive labelsthrough emergent coding, and these codes were categorized into themes. Constant comparison,first within each interview and then within each group (i.e., children as a group and parents as agroup), was used to continually sort the data until a robust set of themes explaining the data wasdeveloped for each

The majority of students who participated in this study werepursuing the sustainability concentration, however students can also choose a concentration inbiomedical engineering, embedded software, law, or an individual plan of study.MethodsIn Spring 2021, we interviewed five students (out of the nine enrolled in the class) at the end ofthe course using a semi-structured protocol that probed their motivation(s) for choosing anengineering major, as well as their perceptions about engineering and engineers. We asked thestudents: • Q1: Why did you choose to major in engineering? • Q2: How do you define engineering? • Q3: Please describe an engineer. • Q4: What

We usedthis dimension to explore the intrinsic values that drive the participant to be empathetic.

The nanotechnology and STEM attitudes survey was a modified version of theStudent Attitude Toward Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (S-STEM) instrument developed bythe Friday Institute at North Carolina State [16]. The S-STEM includes scales on attitudes towards mathematics,science, engineering, and technology, 21st century learning skills, and STEM career awareness. For the purposes ofthis project, the mathematics scale was removed and replaced by a nanotechnology focused scale developed duringprevious one-week camps provided for high school students.

investigatesubpopulation differences in MH distress and MH related help-seeking perceptions.Help-seeking behavior in college studentsIn the broader college student population, it has been hypothesized that the most effective way toincrease MH help seeking behaviors in college students is to change their self-perceptions andattitude toward professional MH services [8]-[10]. Research has also examined help seekingbehaviors of students in self-identified high-stress academic programs (e.g., law [11], medicine[12], [13], nursing [14], dentistry [15], [16]). In these studies, the most significant factors for notseeking help for MH concerns pertained to perceived stigma(s), fear of disclosure, and perceiveddetriment to academic and/or career success; students in these

In future applications of the method, it may also beinteresting to conduct sessions with students and instructor (and/or TA) in the same session. 3) Decide on focal factor(s): To start the mapping process, participants were asked to identify the focal factor(s), which should be a variable within the system that is central to the problem, per the original protocol. To assist participants in focal factor identification, we used the following prompts: What were the key inputs in your project? What were the key outputs? What were the key elements of the project that you controlled? What
