Such academic stress may be due to the demanding nature of the learning tasksthat students are required to complete within such disciplines. For example, some first-yearengineering students need the ability to negotiate and overcome the initial setbacks they encounterin foundational engineering courses if they hope to endure and complete their undergraduatedegree programs.
