and Their Impacts on StudentsA growing strand of scholarly dialogue in higher education explores connections betweenstudents’ emotional experiences with pressures and stress, and student achievement andretention. Relevant studies identify general academic pressures including parental expectations,grades, test taking, time pressures, and future plans [19] as well as those unique to engineeringstudents, such as family pressure to study the major [20]. Some studies specifically focus onstudent stress [21, 22] and impacts on students’ mental health [19, 23].Students often experience anxiety due to the stress of these expectations as well as fear of failureto fulfill them [24].

We begin by describing the institutionalcontext of the course.Context of First-Year Engineering Design CourseThe course that occupies the focus of the present paper is known locally as Introduction toEngineering and is offered in the fall semester at Harding—a private, non-profit, religiouslyaffiliated, teaching-focused university. It is a required course in the degree plans for fiveengineering majors that are offered at the university: biomedical, civil, computer, electrical, andmechanical. Typically, students are enrolled in the first-year engineering design course in theirfirst year of undergraduate. Almost all of the enrolled students

arerelatively difficult teaching goals. This paper proposes that it may be possible toaccomplish these goals by combining the use of traditional lectures with active andcollaborative learning and with the Socratic Method of directive questioning/reasoning,in which the instructor poses a problem and asks a series of directive, probing questions,to help students follow a particular approach to solving the problem.The directed questions contain useful information to assist students in (a) understandingthe problem, (b) devising a plan to solve the problem, (c) carrying out the plan, and,finally, (d) reviewing/extending the problem. In the last step [step (d)], students areencouraged to reflect and look back at the implications of the problem solution, what

For longer run times, however, using the correct heattransfer coefficient is essential as shown in Fig. 8. Unfortunately, experimental data were notavailable for comparison here since the actual pool is not usually allowed to get much above atemperature of 95 F.
