Jul 28 Great Ideas for Teachers and Students: Mindfulness Practices for Engineering Students Tracey Carbonetto, Eileen Grodziak and Laura Cruz The Pennsylvania State University Engineering students benefit from clarity and focus while taking challenging classes.Engineering instructors employ various methods to cultivate focus through self-efficacy usingpractices intended to establish confidence and reduce apprehension. Lack of focus and clarityinterfere with an engineering student’s ability to learn especially when instructors are utilizingmethods to promote otherwise. Students in first-year engineering courses may be apprehensiveabout the decision to
