Despite the common perception that oral examinations may cause more stress thantraditional written exams, our results show that with the instructional team’s mindful approachesin providing proper stress management strategies for mitigating perceived stress, oralexaminations may lead to even less stress levels in students compared to that of written exams.AcknowledgementsThis work was supported by the National Science Foundation (NSF-2044472).

Furthermore, according to the KEEN, when EM defined with 3Cs is combined withengineering skillsets (by adding opportunity and impact to design), the outcome becomesentrepreneurially minded learning. In examining the literature, Kuratko et al. [2] found that threedistinct aspects have arisen through the years. These aspects are “(i) the entrepreneurial cognitiveaspect—how entrepreneurs use mental models to think; (ii) the entrepreneurial behavioralaspect—how entrepreneurs engage or act for opportunities; and (iii) the entrepreneurialemotional aspects—what entrepreneurs feel in

Developed ten years ago, the originalfunction of the 4.5-hour lecture-lab course presented in two sessions per week, each one for2hourse and 15 minutes long, was to introduce freshman students to the subject of EET byfocusing on the early portions of the sophomore year DC circuits course at a relaxed pace.Another purpose was to have freshmen connect with EET faculty before their sophomore year.
