This engineering education research project seeks to understand how students' emotions play key roles in both learning engineering and their development of a professional identity. There is increasing evidence that emotion impacts learning, yet these connections are not yet well understood. By examining connections between emotions and learning, this project will inform the design of engineering degree programs which can connect scientific, technical, and social knowledge for the students and will design future solutions to societal problems.The broader significance and importance of this project arise from how the research on emotion and learning can be used by educators to create better learning environments for engineering students. The project will also help students to better connect knowledge and adopt effective learning strategies. This project overlaps with NSF's strategic goals of transforming the frontiers through preparation of an engineering workforce with new capabilities and expertise. Additionally NSF's goal of innovating for society is enabled by building the capacity of the nation's citizenry for addressing societal challenges through engineering.

这个工程教育研究项目旨在了解学生的情感如何在学习工程和职业认同的发展中发挥关键作用。越来越多的证据表明，情绪影响学习，但这些联系尚未得到很好的理解。通过研究情感和学习之间的联系，该项目将为工程学位课程的设计提供信息，这些课程可以为学生连接科学、技术和社会知识，并为社会问题设计未来的解决方案。这个项目更广泛的意义和重要性源于教育者如何利用情感和学习的研究来为工程专业的学生创造更好的学习环境。该项目还将帮助学生更好地连接知识并采取有效的学习策略。该项目与NSF的战略目标重叠，即通过培养具有新能力和专业知识的工程人才来改变前沿。此外，NSF的社会创新目标是通过建设国家公民通过工程解决社会挑战的能力来实现的。
