Those students majoring in science and engineering, a main part of young college students, have great influence upon the development of national science and technology. In addition, the poor students majoring in science and engineering have quite different personality and psychological characteristics. The troubles on emotion, mentality, capability, study and job, which are caused by economic hardship, put a brake on development and success for poor students, and also could be a source of instability on college or society.
