INTRODUCTION
Almost all engineers in the field could say they had a blast of rollercoaster ride
during their college years. In spite of all the heavy school loads, balancing their time
managements: study, sleep, social life and every other sacrifices that they were able to
refuse to let the burden keep them from attaining their goal of being an engineer. This
study will provide information regarding the importance of mathematics to the
engineering students and how stress affects their academic performance; this study will
evaluate the engineering students’ study routines, attitudes and their way of maintaining
the balance of social and academic life.
The reason why we conducted this study is to promote awareness that no matter
how hard it takes, we can reach our own goals. Even though some are not good in the
field of mathematics, they are still striving to reach their dreams to become an engineer
someday. Definitely it is not easy to cope up the lessons but you have to take courage
to finish your studies to prove that intelligence is not the only basis requirement to
pursue your dreams.
The aim of this study is to understand the influence of math anxiety among those
students who pursue their path in taking up engineering and the impact of their major
academics. This study seeks to ascertain the effects of mathematics anxiety on
students’ academic performance. Since many students are suffering from being not
good enough and having a little confidence in their ability to do mathematics, we
conducted this study for us to be literate of the effects of mathematics anxiety in
pursuing engineering courses.
