Laying a strong foundation forprogramming skills is critical to prepare a student for success in an introductory programmingcourse. Having plenty of opportunities to practice coding is essential to enable students to learnprogramming concepts effectively. A lack of effective study strategies combined with anoverload of concepts and not enough time lead to reduced retention and higher drop rates inintroductory programming courses [1].Several research teams have considered the impacts of providing students in

Additionally, as the use of digitaltechnologies becomes more pervasive and multifaceted, it blurs the boundaries betweenindividuals’ personal, academic, and professional lives. This convergence makes it increasinglydifficult to disconnect and decompress, which may perpetuate a cycle of digital dependency [2].These patterns of high digital engagement raise important questions about how individuals relateto technology in their daily lives, and whether those relationships are sustainable.

its importance, limited research focuses on improvingengineering students' problem-solving skills. One reason for this is the demanding technicalcurriculum that fills much of students’ schedules, leaving little time for targeted development ofproblem-solving strategies. As a result, problem-solving is often included as part of broaderengineering courses rather than being explicitly taught and practiced as a specific skill.At the same time, research has shown that engineering students face higher stress levels, puttingthem at significant risk of mental illness compared to the general population [1], [2].
