Study of key factors influencing academic success in physics within engineering education
Abstract
Modern engineering education requires continuous monitoring of knowledge acquisition quality. The analysis of students’ academic performance is an important tool for identifying knowledge gaps and taking corrective measures. This paper presents an analysis of entrance testing and interim assessment results of students, along with a review of recent changes in the physics curriculum at the MADI technical university. Special attention is given to the propaedeutic course as a tool for academic adaptation. The study concludes that there has been a reduction in academic workload and an increase in the complexity of the initial stage of physics education.
The paper provides data on students' academic performance in the 2024/25 academic year in the subject of "Physics". It also analyzes changes in the number of hours allocated to studying physics in the Work Programs of the discipline.
