The main aim of this study is to investigate the stress levels and coping strategies of professional students belonging

to the Engineering background. This research identified many of the stresses that are placed on engineering students

in today�s society. This research explored some of the various stressors (negative events, chronic strains, and traumas) and the effects that they

may have on the students and their families. Stressors have a foremost influence upon mood, our sagacity of well-being, behavior, and health.

Acute stress responses in young, healthy individuals may be adaptive and typically do not impose a health burden. However, if the threat is

chronic, particularly in older or unhealthy individuals, the long-term effects of stressors can damage health. The bond between psychosocial

stressors and disease is affected by the nature, number, and persistence of the stressors as well as by the individual�s genetic vulnerability (that

is, genetics, constitutional factors), psychosocial resources, and learned patterns of coping. Psychosocial interpolations have proven useful for

treating stress-related syndromes and may influence the course of chronic diseases.
