These include theimplementation of a math placement exam, a modification of the engineering curriculum basedon best practices used at other engineering programs for improving retention, and the intentionalgrouping of first-year engineering students in a college success course that was led by anEngineering faculty member and a peer mentor who was a returning engineering student.All of these engineering-focused efforts were coupled with college-wide efforts at improvingretention which included an increase in staffing for the

After an initialdeployment of a question, the instructor can proceed in several ways. Class responses can bedisplayed to the class and students can be asked to discuss the problem with a neighbor or group.Following the small group discussions, the question can be posed again10; it has been shown thatthis type of peer-instruction can increase conceptual understanding.11 At any point, the instructorcan interject with appropriate discussion or address misconceptions discovered when goingthrough the written explanations to multiple choice questions, for example.

They attend conferences and meetings sponsored by professional societies,academic and government institutions, and industry. At these events they participate in formaland informal discussions — all of which are critical to their ability to meet their professionalobligations.

In contrast, written exams are limited inthis capacity: when students write down an equation, it is difficult to tell whether they understandthe concept well or if they are trying to recall similar procedures from class examples andhomework assignments. Oral exams also allow students to receive feedback from a contentexpert who can clear up misconceptions. Group explanation activities offer the benefits offeedback exchange and social learning among students. The paper will present the details ofthese learning activities as well as the outcomes.

Students; Engineering1 IntroductionStudents undergo various experiences during their college years that influence and shape theiridentities. Negative interactions within those experiences can affect the mental functioning andwellbeing of the students. These negative experiences result in high levels of distress that maynot be clearly visible to peers or faculty but can have significant impacts within their collegiatechoices. Available research indicates that approximately 50% of students display alarming levelsof stress, anxiety, and depression [1], [2]. This statistic is an indicator of a mental health crisisthat could be ravaging higher education institutions. Recent engineering education research(EER
