This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) provides funding of $199,576 to the University of California, Davis for a research project titled "Evaluating the Impact of a Wellness Program on Emotional Intelligence and Psychological Capital of Engineering Students."

The project aims to develop and deliver a wellness course for engineering students that focuses on self-care activities across cognitive, emotional, interpersonal, physical, practical, and spiritual domains. The goal is to measure the impact of the wellness course on students' emotional intelligence and psychological capital, which include factors like resilience, optimism, hope, self-efficacy, and well-being. The project will survey undergraduate engineering students before and after the course and compare results to control groups. Qualitative interviews will also be conducted to provide additional insights. The findings are expected to offer valuable guidance for other engineering departments interested in improving student well-being through the integration of mental health and self-care training.
