Prediction of engineering students’ academic performance using neural network and linear regression / Pauziah Mohd Arsad

This thesis describes the development of Electrical Engineering students’ performance prediction model using Artificial Neural Network (ANN) based on SIMS data from three generations of Matriculation and Diploma students. It was observed that there was a certain pattern or trend between the strong a...
