Abstract: To meet the growing demand for sustainable education, many universities have begun to integrate sustainability into their curricula. Additionally, universities are increasingly investing in digital technologies that enable them to deliver educational content in a more sustainable manner. The research results showed that students’ interactions with teachers in a hybrid environment, such as in a STEM university, can have a significant impact on student performance. The research results indicated a positive relationship between the educational environment and the well-being perceived by the students. The results showed that when the educational environment was improved, the students felt a greater sense of well-being. Furthermore, the results showed that students who felt a greater sense of well-being also perceived the educational environment to be more positive, and an improved educational environment can lead to an increased sense of well-being for students. This could be achieved by creating a more supportive and motivating educational environment, which could, in turn, lead to improved academic performance and mental health. The research found that there was a negative correlation between the students’ perceived assessment and evaluation related to their well-being. This suggests that students who felt that their assessment and evaluation were unfair or inappropriate were more likely to have poorer well-being than those who perceived their assessment and evaluation as fair and appropriate.
