The engineering “habits of mind” refer tothe values, attitudes and thinking skills associated with engineering and these include: (1)systems thinking, (2) creativity, (3) optimism, (4) collaboration, (5) communication, and (6)attention to ethical considerations2. While reviewing various instructional models, Brophy et al.8 Page 23.1234.3suggested that in the younger grades, P-12 engineering education could use hands-on activities todevelop a qualitative sense for material properties, spatial reasoning, physics, mechanics, numbersense, and general problem-solving strategies.

There arestrong reasons to suggest that these affective ways of operating are crucial for harnessingengineering students’ cognitive skills [16]. Educators who use WIL should consider linkingexplicitly the cognitive and affective domains for greater student engagement and learning inWIL and for subsequent work readiness/employment [16].

However, this candrive the value they place on attaining an engineering career: “Students who pay their owncollege expenses may then be interested in having a future in engineering because they have ajob to pay their own way to attain their degree…” [3]. While these students may be moreopen-minded in the classroom, first-generation students require a higher sense of belonging tosucceed in college [3], potentially because they have no prior experience with or knowledge ofcollege. Stebleton et al. [18] also found a relationship between sense of belonging and levels ofdepression and stress for first-generation college students, reporting lower ratings ofbelongingness and

It involves acompetitive curriculum that creates extreme stress for many students. As stress is an inevitablepart of college, a healthy amount contributes to a students’ academic and personal success [1].However, high levels of constant stress can be detrimental to students’ mental health, leading todepression, anxiety, and other psychological distress [2
