AB  - Utilizing effective study strategies is one of the key predictors of students’ academic performance (e.g., [1]). However, in engineering education, there are a few studies that explored this relationship in real classroom settings throughout an academic semester. This work in progress paper investigates the relationship of engineering students' study strategies and their academic performance in a required first-year engineering course. For this study, data was collected from 161 engineering students at a large Midwestern university. We collected data by asking students to reflect on their study strategies that they used for the preparation of course exams. This course had three exams for student evaluation over the semester. We used these exam scores as a measure of their academic performance, which were graded by the instructional team. From this data, we addressed two research questions: 1) To what degree do students’ selection of study strategies vary while preparing for exams? 2) How do students’ study strategies relate to their academic performance in exams? To answer the first question, we conducted one-way ANOVA to test the variability in the students' selection of study strategies over the exams. And for the second question, we performed a bivariate linear regression to analyze the relationship between students' study strategies and students’ academic performance. Our preliminary results revealed that there was a significant change in the frequency of the selection of student study strategies over the exams, and the most significant variation existed between the first and third exam. However, the results of the regression analyses showed no significant relationship between the frequency of the students’ study strategies and their academic performance in all exams. While this paper is work in progress paper, we in our future studies aim to explore it further by looking at different aspects of study strategies, and by seeing the difference between low and high achieving students
