Abstract
Lately, the achievement of the students in the Electrical, Electronics and Systems Engineering (EESE) department is declining and this could affect the performance of UKM as a research university. It could also jeopardize the government transformation plan which focuses on human capital to support the vision 2020. This paper discussed several factors that might contribute to the declined and provide quantitative analysis conducted on EESE students’ achievement data for 4 cohorts in 2010/2011 session using the mean and the Spearman Rho correlation method. Results showed that the overall mean for the entry and final CGPA is decreasing. There is no significant correlation between the entry and final CGPA and the MUET level, but the students with STPM qualification show more consistent performance compared to the others. In conclusion, the department needed to make further studies so that appropriate measures could be taken to overcome this problem.
