Board 120: A Study of the Bangladeshi Engineering Students’ Perceptions to Succeed Academically

Presented at International Division (INTL) Poster Session

Engineering courses are inherently more complicated than any other academic discipline. Yet,
engineering students struggle with numerous social and personal factors to maintain high
academic performance throughout their degree. This study aims to over-surface Bangladeshi
engineering students' perceptions of what influences them to graduate successfully. In many
dimensions, such as infrastructure, quality of instruction, and access to cutting-edge research,
engineering education in first-world nations will likely differ significantly from that in less
developed countries. Therefore, this investigation's results aim to contribute significantly to the
existing knowledge base. This study's outcome aims to understand better the factors that
influence students' academic decisions, regardless of their engineering concentration and lay the
initial work for future performance enhancements for the students, educators, and policymakers
in the STEM areas.
