Abstract
This study determined the competency and proficiency in Mathematics of freshmen engineering students at Wesleyan University-Philippines. The researchers used descriptive correlational method of research and the data were collected using a researcher made survey. Respondents of the study were all the 83 Computer and Electronics engineering freshmen of Wesleyan University-Philippines. The results showed students who willfully chose their program; students who have their own calculator; students who regularly solved or practice math exercises; students who had taken more mathematics courses at senior high school; and students who gained average grade in their mathematics courses have better proficiency and performance in advanced mathematics courses in Engineering program. The results also showed that their proficiency and competency were under the “Development Level” which means they have little mastery of the essential concepts and principles which they are expected to learn during their Senior High School years. Finally, their socio-demographic profile has no significant factor in their performance in the Engineering program. With all the data gathered and analyzed, the researchers highly recommend conducting bridging program on Mathematics courses before the start of classes to prepare them for higher Engineering Mathematics in their first year in college.
