Academic achievement in the learning domains and performance in licensure examination for engineers among LPU's mechanical and electronics engineering graduates

This study aimed to investigate the Board Examination Performance of BS Mechanical Engineering and BS Electronics Engineering graduates from Lyceum of the Philippines University (LPU) – Batangas City from 2006 – 2011. Descriptive type of quantitative research method was used in the study wherein total population of all board examinees was considered. Results showed that Mechanical Engineering (ME) examinees performed well in Machine design while ECE did well in Mathematics. ME examinees did not perform well in Power Plant Design/Industrial Plant Design while ECE did not do well in General Engineering and Applied Sciences. ME and ECE examinees obtained low performance in comprehensive examination with high level of study habits and academic behavior. Affective domain is significantly related to and predicts Licensure examination Performance of the respondents. Outcomes-based curriculum must be adapted to periodically monitor the academic performance and behavior as well as the result of study habits of the students. Teachers must consistently monitor the academic performance and behavior of engineering students to provide thorough guidance for those who are low achievers.
