In this intense environment, theperception that high levels of stress and anxiety are part of the culture in engineering academicsmay discourage students from pursuing engineering degrees at the undergraduate and graduatelevels. Attributing stress to be characteristic of engineering students may negatively impact thesuccess of students currently enrolled in engineering programs and deter them from continuing topursue engineering in graduate school or from entering engineering careers. Feelingoverwhelmed due to pace and workload in coursework was a top reason cited by students forleaving STEM programs19. Stress and anxiety portrayed as a norm within the

A standardlecture in a 40+ student class often falls short in answering individual student questions andstruggles to foster a cohesive community where peer-to-peer interaction is so limited [7].There is a consensus that both incoming freshman engineering students and recent engineeringgrads need different skills and support systems to succeed in college and career than they didbefore the internet revolution.MethodologyThe following methodology was used for identifying Factors of Success for EducationalTechnologies and Best Practices.Keeping in mind the ever-changing technological

With its vast population and mature system of higher educationChina is positioned particularly well to meet this need. While training in mathematics, science,engineering and design are vital components of an engineer’s or scientist’s training, it is widelyrecognized that the ability of these professionals to communicate well both in written and oralforms is essential for a successful career.
