The role of physics and mathematics courses was evaluated in influencing students' academic performance in an undergraduate engineering program. Statistical data for 200 students in their final or pre-final years of study was used to relate performance in the above-mentioned courses with their overall performance in the program. Significant majority of students who performed well in physics and mathematics courses also performed well in the program, and . The analysis suggests that students' performance in such courses may be used as an early indicator of their ability to continue in engineering programs successfully.
