This $399,993 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) aims to develop curricular resources and interventions to promote wellness and a "thriving mindset" among undergraduate engineering students. The project will involve qualitative research through student and faculty interviews to identify opportunities and barriers related to student wellness, which will inform the creation of a new course and associated materials. These resources, including lessons, workbooks, and workshops, will be designed for broader adaptation at other institutions across STEM disciplines. The goal is to change the narrative from "surviving" to "thriving" in engineering education by providing students with research-based tools and strategies to support their wellness. This effort will be led by the Regents of the University of Michigan, a prominent public research university, over the 3-year project period from October 1, 2024 to September 30, 2027.
