The Prime Obstacle in Learning Science and Engineering

Author(s): Matthew M. Radmanesh

Education in fields such as science and engineering is a very delicate subject, which requires awareness of several mental factors. These factors, when ignored or neglected, can bring about a very distasteful learning environment for the students at large. These factors include such things as peer pressure, fear of failure, lack of self-esteem, lack of goals, course format, poor learner experience, negative past experiences, personal mindsets, lack of focus and concentration, emotional factors, personal resistance, etc. However, there is a chief factor amongst these, which is deadly if not dealt with properly, and that is the exact definitions for the nomenclature of the subject at hand.
