AB  - Mathematics performance in Civil Engineering (CE) programs continues to be the limiting factor in a student’s progress when evaluated by graduation with a Civil Engineering degree within six years of matriculation and a GPA of 2.5 or higher. Higher performance in mathematics in the first few semesters correlates positively with engineering student success in concurrent second-year Engineering courses. However, the relation between math success and performance in subsequent upper-level engineering courses is not well known. Additionally, does poor performance in math and science prerequisites direct students towards specific concentrations defined by a student’s choice of electives? For example, fluid mechanics requires students to apply conceptual mathematics in a more abstract environment than fundamental mechanics courses. Compared to statics and higher-level civil engineering electives, can student performance in the prerequisite math and science courses predict success in fluid mechanics? This paper will analyze the performance of Virginia Military Institute (VMI)’s classes of 2020, 2021, and 2022 by correlating success in these higher-level courses with previous mathematical and science performance to answer these questions.
