ABSTRACT

Discovering information from existing academic-related data is a crucial aspect of the educational research. The objective of this study is to propose a relationship model between students' mathematics performance and their overall academic performance in engineering programs. The study was conducted with engineering undergraduates from Chemical and Process Engineering at the Faculty of Engineering, University of Moratuwa, Sri Lanka. The partial least-square structural equation modeling is used to examine the relationship of academic performance of engineering students. The results revealed that mathematics performance significantly influences on the student academic performance in chemical and process engineering programs.
