Abstract
This paper summarizes the results of our NSF funded longitudinal study on mental health in engineering education (EEC #1929484 and #1929478). Survey instruments were used to measure the prevalence of several mental health conditions in engineering students at 8 partner institutions as they progressed through their engineering programs. Since this data collection began in Fall 2019, shortly before the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic and continued into 2021, our results provide a unique insight into the state of mental health in engineering education during “normal times,” how it changed and how mental health issues skyrocketed during the early stages of the pandemic, and to what extent mental health has recovered to pre-pandemic levels as engineering students returned to campus.
