Strategies to Integrate Wellness into the Engineering Classroom
Sarah A. Wilson; Karin Jensen
Chemical Engineering Education, v57 n4 p201-205 2023
National data show that engineers are unlikely to seek help for a mental health concern, which can result in symptom escalation. Therefore, this article highlights research on mental health in engineering and provides research-based strategies for integrating mental health and wellness into the classroom. We aim to motivate chemical engineering faculty to create a classroom environment that prioritizes mental health, helping to shift from a culture of stress to a culture of wellbeing in engineering.
