Research Description

The Wilson Research Group aims to understand and improve mental health in engineering. In this way, they define mental health as not just the absence of mental illness but a mental state in which engineers can effectively cope with stress, realize their potential, and contribute to society. They are particularly interested in developing and implementing interventions to improve mental health related help seeking in undergraduate engineering students.
