Researchers try to identify the most prevalent mental health issues affecting the broader engineering student community

Engineering students are no strangers to stress, but this study spills the tea on their mental wellness. We took a peek at five universities in the wild, wild West to see what's really going on in their brilliant minds. And boy, did we uncover some eyebrow-raising findings!

Here's the inside scoop on this engineering mental health exposé:

🎓 First- and second-year students spilled the beans on their mental well-being through a validated survey. We wanted to know who's feeling the heat!

📊 Brace yourself for the numbers: a whopping 28.4% of participants potentially suffer from diagnosable mental health conditions! Yikes, that's no small feat.

😬 But wait, there's more! An additional 55.2% of students showed signs of moderate psychological distress. Stress-o-meter levels through the roof!

💁 Breaking it down, female students, especially from historically excluded ethnic groups, faced higher rates of Panic and PTSD disorders. Let's give them some extra support!

So, dear readers, whether you're an engineering whiz or just a curious bystander, let's acknowledge the mental wellness challenges these future inventors face. Spread the word, offer a helping hand, and let's create a supportive community where engineering brilliance and mental well-being go hand in hand. Together, we can engineer a brighter and happier future! 🌟

ASU DIVING INTO THE MENTAL STATE OF ITS ENGINEERING STUDENTS

A study found that approximately 50% of undergraduate engineering students in the United States experience a major mental health condition or significant distress. A biomedical engineering graduate, Daniella Pautz, recognized the prevalence of mental health challenges among engineering students and initiated a student-led research project at Arizona State University (ASU) to explore mental health in engineering higher education.

Here’s the details THEY DISCOVERED :

  • The survey revealed that 47% of responding engineering and technology students at ASU screened positive for mental health conditions.

  • The research findings suggest that implementing evidence-based techniques to enhance student motivation and performance, such as building relationships and fostering a sense of community, could improve the mental health and academic outcomes of engineering students.

  • Efforts are being made at ASU, including through the Fulton Schools Learning and Teaching Hub, to provide faculty with resources and support for implementing effective teaching strategies and addressing mental health needs.

  • The researchers hope that their work will inform not only ASU but also other higher education institutions, leading to positive changes in teaching practices and support systems for students and faculty.
