Title
Impact of Online Learning on Mental Health among the Engineering
Students of Nueva Ecija University of Science and Technology

II. Rationale
Students feel difficulties in the form of mental struggles
brought by the demands of remote learning. We sometimes overthink
and end up feeling sick. Thinking about the difficult lessons,
packed schedules, and slow internet connection without somebody to
talk around makes me feel sick. Sometimes I experience lack of focus
and motivation and I nurture the idea of giving up.

In this study, we aim to evaluate these students’ mental

situation during the pandemic and to find out what learning
conditions that university management and lecturers should establish
in order to provide the best possible support for students during
this pandemic or a future epidemic/pandemic.

Importance of stable Internet Connectivity during the Remote
Learning among the Engineering Students of Nueva Ecija University of
Science and Technology
Most of the time, this problem is caused by the geographic
location.
I live 7-kilometers away from town proper, so, it is hard for me
to find a stable internet connection. We just rely on the wired
internet but when the electricity comes out, our internet is gone.
It makes hard to keep in touch to the non-recorded synchronous
meetings. I miss some quizzes because there are times when the
connection is lost suddenly.

A Study on the Effect of Electric Power Interruptions in the
Engineering Students during the Remote Learning of Nueva Ecija
University of Science and Technology
Since remote learning relies on electronic gadgets in this
context, we students were challenged with electricity interruptions.
This is especially difficult in areas where regular interruptions
occur.
Electric power interruption sometimes happen every once a week
for maintenance works that affects our village for almost 7-hours.
We also sometimes experience unanticipated and sudden electricity
interruptions. It also makes hard to keep in touch to the non-
recorded synchronous meetings and quizzes.

II. Rationale
This study will be conducted to provide contextual pieces of
evidence on the multifaceted challenges that confront students in a
developing country amid the current global crisis. It will recommend
that these difficulties should be considered as inputs for the
further development of the current educational process.
Specifically, the government officials should lobby for the
improvement of technology and electricity access, especially in
remote communities.
