process, which is usually taught in lectures and formal, pre-defined labexperiences. However, it is not clear that a student’s success in lecture-based courses wouldpredict success in project-based courses. Thus, it is important to study the relationship betweenpotential performance predictors and actual performance. Not only will this allow for refinementof the selection criteria for such programs, but it will also serve to inform those who areeducating and advising potential applicants for these types of programs. Broadly, as engineeringdesign projects are core to early career success, this work could have implications for allengineering curricula. This paper examines the relationship between students’ performance intheir pre-engineering
