and Their Impacts on StudentsA growing strand of scholarly dialogue in higher education explores connections betweenstudents’ emotional experiences with pressures and stress, and student achievement andretention. Relevant studies identify general academic pressures including parental expectations,grades, test taking, time pressures, and future plans [19] as well as those unique to engineeringstudents, such as family pressure to study the major [20]. Some studies specifically focus onstudent stress [21, 22] and impacts on students’ mental health [19, 23].Students often experience anxiety due to the stress of these expectations as well as fear of failureto fulfill them [24]. In the context of a study of psychological distress in college

We begin by describing the institutionalcontext of the course.Context of First-Year Engineering Design CourseThe course that occupies the focus of the present paper is known locally as Introduction toEngineering and is offered in the fall semester at Harding—a private, non-profit, religiouslyaffiliated, teaching-focused university. It is a required course in the degree plans for fiveengineering majors that are offered at the university: biomedical, civil, computer, electrical, andmechanical. Typically, students are enrolled in the first-year engineering design course in theirfirst year of undergraduate. Almost all of the enrolled students

Difficulties in applying this leadership style are typically due to our trainingwhere we are taught to be independent and defend our views to avoid ‘losing’ or being provedwrong. We can often engage others readily by showing sincere interest in their point of view,ensuring that clear communication of similarities and differences in viewpoint has taken place,and by involving them in planning and implementation of new initiatives or changes in direction.This interdependence culture develops

China's engineering standards and improvingthe internal system of engineering standardsInternationalizing China’s standards is important for shaping its national image, enhancing itsglobal discourse power, and enhancing China’s international prestige. Breaking the long-termmonopoly of the engineering standards market by European countries and the United Statesrequires the Chinese government to publicize China's engineering standards and engineeringculture at the national level. Although China has issued the Action Plan on Belt and RoadStandard Connectivity (2018-2020) twice, up to now the “going out” of Chinese standardshas been hampered by insufficient domestic preparation and international acclimatization.Therefore, the government needs to

A sample incident reporting structure can be viewed at this link: https://neu.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_0DoaoRIFrbRJcAB  Include a calibration activity at the start of the semester to help students identify appropriate consequence levels for various categories of hazards.

most of the skills listed above are satisfied, either directly or indirectly, through ABETcriteria, some are emphasized more than others. Bloom’s taxonomy of educational objectives(1956) is widely used in curriculum design to plan learning experiences and prepare evaluationtools [6]. The original taxonomy was organized into three domains: Cognitive, Affective, andPsychomotor, although only the cognitive domain was developed initially, followed by work onthe affective domain by [7]. The cognitive domain includes objectives which deal with the recallor recognition of knowledge and the development of intellectual abilities and skills. The affectivedomain includes objectives which describe changes in interest, attitudes, and values, and
