response to self-reported vulnerabilities and concerns of engineeringstudents. This paper presents data from practical efforts to identify and mitigate anxiety amongengineering students. A group of twenty-seven engineering and engineering technology studentswho were part of a scholarship program was asked to submit journal entries in which theyreflected on their fears and anxieties related to their participation in their degree program.Prominent themes which emerged from student reflection included time management and itseffects on academics and social activities, the likelihood of degree completion and success inengineering-specific coursework (e.g. senior capstone projects), and aspects of life followinggraduation such as handling accumulated
