这项研究探讨了正念与工程教育的交叉点。据报道，正念的好处包括增强认知灵活性、提高注意力和提高情商。当工程师应对日益复杂和跨学科的挑战时，这些特征可能对他们有利。这项研究着眼于 75 名学生在工程学入门课程中的特质正念。结果表明，正念与业务技能自我效能感（包括人际交往能力）相关，但与机械师自我效能感或最终成绩无关。正念与在小公司或创业型初创公司追求职业生涯的意图之间也存在相关性。这项研究的意义表明，基于正念的课堂活动可能有助于拓宽工程教育经验。
This research explores the intersection of mindfulness and engineering education. Among the reported benefits of mindfulness are enhanced cognitive flexibility, improved concentration, and increased emotional intelligence. These characteristics may be beneficial to engineers as they tackle increasingly complex and interdisciplinary challenges. This research looks at trait mindfulness of 75 students in an introductory engineering course. Results show that mindfulness correlates with business skills self-efficacy (including interpersonal skills) but not with mechanics self-efficacy or final grade. There is also a correlation between mindfulness and the intent to pursue a career in a small company or in an entrepreneurial start-up company. Implications of this research suggest that mindfulness-based classroom activities may help broaden the engineering education experience.
