/Academic Variables Related to Engineering PersistenceThe importance of mathematical achievement and preparation to engineering persistence hasbeen well documented. Seymour and Hewitt [6] posited over two decades ago that if students areproficient in mathematics and science at an early age, then this proficiency encourages them tochoose science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) undergraduate majors alongwith employment in STEM fields such as engineering [1]. Veenstra and colleagues [7]highlighted key differences regarding factors that predict retention and academic successbetween engineering majors and other majors. They found that high school academicachievement in mathematics and sciences are weighted heavily for engineering majors

Such a restriction could impair students' ability to approach engineering challenges in various sectors with flexibility or to adapt to new technologies. • Assessment and Evaluation: Evaluating students' competencies in both programming and mathematical analysis introduces a layer of complexity to the grading process. It may become challenging for educators to discern if students' difficulties arise from programming, understanding mathematical principles, or integrating both. This complexity risks masking the true nature of students' learning challenges, potentially complicating the provision of effective support. 3. Course Overview:The "Mathematical Analysis" course at
