This paper describes a study performed to gather an overall understanding of the state of wellness inthe engineering undergraduate student population at the University of British Columbia. The study consisted of conducting an anonymous online survey asking students to respond on areas related to their physical and mental health, levels of stress, and belonging and inclusivity in their community. The results indicate discrepancies in perceived mental health, stress levels and sense of belonging between genders and year levels.
