Profile of Engineering Students Based on the Characteristics of Successful Learners

The researchers pursued this study on characteristics of a successful engineering student: an assessment because this study could contribute to the continuous  enhancement of engineering students in their study habits. The researchers primarily aimed to identify the characteristics of a successful engineering student in terms of difference of responses on the assessment on these when grouped according to profile. Descriptive type of research was utilized in the study. The research will be directed as a controlled quantitative research study in which information are gathered before and after the research. In this study, we utilized organized survey to gather information from the respondents. The polls comprise of the profile of the respondents and aseries of inquiries related on characteristics of a successful engineering student. Results showed that the majority of the students are male, 19-22 yrs. old, from BS Industrial Engineering program, 4th year level, regular students, and with a general weighted average of 2.51-3.00. Also majority of the students always consider enjoyment in learning as the most observed characteristic of a successful engineering student. And there is no significant difference on the assessment on the characteristics of a successful engineering student. Students must also have implemented to have more interactions in class and spend more time reading more reference books found in the library.
