Key factors of subjective well-being index in engineering students

As human beings are complex entities that perceive and assimilate the environment, it is engaging to inquire what are the factors involved in the self-perception of achievement that will allow individuals to be successful. Determining the predictive factors of subjective perception of well-being allows us to know what is affecting student academic performance. Primary relationships are an important element of these factors and have direct impact on the perception of achievement that students may have and the goals they set. This perception allows them to be more resilient in crisis situations and in persevering throughout their studies. This study assessed the subjective well-being perception in 297 students of second year of engineering. A test was used to gather information to determine Subjective Well-being Index. There was found a relationship between Subjective Well-Being and academic performance, it was observed that those stuudents with a higher score are more likely to have a better performance. It is an important fact as recent studies show that a high index works as a mediator to stay motivated and engaged with student career.
