exposure to Python and MATLAB is rather high in allstudents, while exposure to other programming languages or environments (R, Java, C,JupyterHub, GitHub) is much higher among industrial engineering students than otherengineering students. The results are expected as the industrial engineering program requiresmore programming-related courses than the other three programs, providing them withopportunities to work with a wider range of programming tools. While this course mainly usesPython, the background differences could still affect students’ general programming attitudes.Industrial engineering students are generally interested in programming, and mechanical andmaterials science students are closer to the neutral level of interest.

engineering competencies. Competency-based education (CBE) is an instructional approach that focuses onactionable outcomes rather than traditional knowledge-based outcomes. Competencies arenecessary to effectively perform specific functions and solve contextually-specific problems [4],[5], [6]. Competencies can be described as applying general and occupation-related KSAs tocomplete a task [7]. Specifically, knowledge is the domain-specific knowledge, skills includehigher-order thinking to apply knowledge, and abilities, sometimes conceptualized asdispositions, relate to the attitudes and values of the learner [1]. Additionally, CBE course learning objectives are framed around professional practicesand problem-solving [7]. For

Another study indicated thatComputer Engineering students are among the most susceptible to experiencing mental healthdisorders, followed by Electrical Engineering students, as determined by scores on the Kesslerscale [4]. It is suggested that engineering students face work-related stressors such as prolongedcomputer usage, number of hours of homework, anxieties regarding academic achievement,competition [17] and future prospects [18].
