摘要

In May 2024, the Biomedical Engineering Society (BMES) hosted the Fifth Biomedical Engineering Education Summit with the goal of bringing together BME educators from across the country to discuss important issues in BME education. The summit included a variety of platform presentations and workshops that engaged participants on topics such as generative artificial intelligence (AI), inclusive classroom pedagogy, and experiential learning, among other topics. The summit included a total of 257 participants from institutions across the USA. Here, we present a summary of the workshop session titled “Supporting Student Mental Health and Well-being in Engineering.” Workshop participants were prompted to discuss (1) concerns about student mental health and well-being and (2) approaches to support student mental health and well-being. We present summaries of the main discussions from the 126 participants who attended the three sessions of the workshop. Finally, we pose a call to action to the BME education community to emphasize the importance of mental health as part of human health.
