Abstract

This study determined the interest of First Year Engineering students towards engineering program at Lyceum of the Philippines University (LPU) in Batangas City during SY 2011-2012 as the primary data in predicting the final grades of engineering students in Technical Drawing (TD) 2 together with the gender, type of high school attended and high school Grade-Point Average (GPA) as secondary data. Descriptive method of research was utilized in the study. Students with high category of GPA during high school have also higher interest towards the engineering program while students with high level of difficulty towards engineering have low interest towards the program. The obtained weighted mean of the students who wanted to be included in the Top Engineering Students or Dean’s List best predicts the Final Grades in Technical Drawing 2. Female respondents have significantly higher intention to become dean’s lists than male respondents. Engineering students from government high schools were more confident that they can handle the difficulties of engineering and they are more serious to obtain high grades than students from private high schools.
