The study was conducted to determine the mathematical skills and the academic performance of the junior and senior electrical engineering students of the University of Eastern Philippines. Descriptive-correlational method of research was used with a total enumeration of the regular students from third year to fifth year electrical engineering students.     The findings revealed that male students dominated all the three year levels of the electrical engineering course. It was also found out that there were more regular fifth year engineering students than the third year and fourth year students. Meanwhile, the third year students got the highest average rating in the final grades of first year and second year mathematics and the lowest average rating belonged to the fifth year students. The learning style of the three-year levels was found to be visual while in terms of study habits, the third year students have very good study habit. It was also found out that the level of mathematical skills of the three-year levels were low, but the level of academic performance of the three-year levels were found out to be good. Multiple regression analysis was used to determine the relationship of the student profile and their mathematical skills. The results showed that the average of final grades in all first-year mathematics, and the students’ year level have significant relationship with the mathematical skills of the students. Meanwhile, the profile variables found to be significantly related to academic performance were the average of final grades in first year mathematics, average of final grades in second year mathematics and study habits of the students’ respondents. Lastly, the mathematical skills had no significant relationship to the academic performance of the student-respondents.

The World

Chinese students, unlike those in western countries, have little control over their majors or courses. Many students are registered in electrical engineering based on GaoKao test scores, not personal interest in the field. As a consequence, many first-year students know little, or even nothing, about electrical engineering. To increase disciplinary knowledge among these students and improve retention rates, a gateway course, named Entering the World of Electrical Engineering, was established in the school of Electrical Engineering at Wuhan University, P.R. China especially for freshman electrical engineering students. To stimulate and inspire these new entrants to the World of Electrical Engineering, this course underscores the relevance of electrical engineering to everyday life and directs the attention of these newcomers to the dynamic and interesting research areas of the field. This paper describes the contents of this gateway course, the structure of the teaching materials, and analyzes the results of a feedback questionnaire administered at the end of the term. The results show that the gateway course successfully engages students’ interests in electrical engineering.

Part Modeling

We are a group of engineering students, in our first year of undergraduate study. We have been selected from one thousand first year students and have competed and won the PACE competition. All engineers share a common general first year, but we have been accepted into Civil and Mechanical engineering. This project was assigned as the final project in the Design and Graphics course. The project we are tasked with, called the Cornerstone Design Project, is to first dissect a product, discover how it works, dimension each part and create a fully assembled model using CAD software (Solid Edge V20 in our case). As part of discovering how it works we must benchmark it so the device can be compared with competing products. The goal of the project is to develop a full understanding of part modeling and assembly in Solid Edge, learn proper measurement techniques, and learn the process of reverse engineering and product dissection. All of these tasks were stepping stones to help us fully understand how the device, and all its components, work.
