anxiety can bedevastating, as mathematics is an important part of life [3]. Math anxiety can cause individuals toavoid math or situations that require analytical and rational thought [4]. Several studies havebeen carried out with elementary and grade school students to learn more about human reactionto mathematics [5], yet fewer studies have been done on college students or later. Furthermore,the majority of these research studies on college students focus on first-year students enrolled ina mathematics course [3]. The current study of this paper is focused on a less studied populationof engineering technology students, and their tendency to engage in rational-analytical thoughtprocesses.Literature ReviewIn the 1970’s researchers indicated that

The ENGR 110/111 sequence is relatively new, resultantfrom the desire to restructure the previous iteration of the institution’s introductory engineeringcourse. A key motivational factor in the desire to restructure included aspiration(s) to conform tomodern research in engineering education methodologies, especially the implementation of activelearning.Active learning has been defined as “any instructional method that engages students in the learningprocess”. Generally, active learning refers to activities that are introduced into the classroom, withthe core elements of student activity and engagement in the learning process. In summary, activelearning

Future researchshould explore relevant dynamics in greater detail, including the longer-term effects from suchexperiences, outcomes that extend well beyond the scope of pair programming, the conditionsunder which cross-national groupwork is most effective, and the ways in which these findingsmay or may not be similar for other forms of collaborative learning (e.g., problem-basedlearning, jigsaw classrooms).

college degrees awarded in STEM fields are much smaller in comparison to othercountries such as China2. While there was a steady rise in undergraduate enrollment in science andengineering (S&E) from 2000 (243,500 students) to 377,410 in 2014, this is in stark contrast toChina where in 2000 the undergraduate enrollment in S&E was 281,270 and in 2014 it was1,447,3303. In 2014, 40 percent of bachelor's degrees earned by men and 29% earned by womenwere in STEM fields. The engineering degrees were only 4.4% of all the undergraduate degreesawarded in 2014 as compared to for example, European countries (13%) or Asian countries (23%),according to a report by the National Academy of Engineering4.President’s Council of Advisors on Science and

In addition,instructors could help students set clear and specific goals at the beginning of semester, becausegoal setting affects students’ initial self-efficacy beliefs for achieving the goal [11]. On the other hand, engineering undergraduate students’ test anxiety was not asignificantly negative predictor of their academic performance in a dynamics course, which isconsistent with Hsieh, et al.’s study finding [29]. The findings of the present study show that thepredictive power of test anxiety for academic performance in engineering education settings isdifferent from that in general academic settings.
