“…A similar strategy engaged organic chemistry students by assigning them the task of presenting on arrow-pushing, which led to improved perceptions (a goal of SPIs) and, consequently, higher exam scores (Green and Rollnick, 2006). Zavala et al (2019) describes the use of student role-playing journal exercises to connect abstract course content to their career ambitions, which increased personal connections to organic chemistry and improved scores.…”

“…Freshmen and sophomores are historically at risk of disengaging with general and organic chemistry. Study of Zavala, et al implemented Utility Value intervention to increase students' curiosity, and confirmed that UV intervention increases students' self-confidence in applying independent scientific thinking and higherorder problem-solving skills (10).…”

As mandated by the Commission on Higher Education (CHED), one of the core subjects being taken by the engineering students at tertiary level in any academic institutions, whether private or government is the Chemistry for Engineers which is offered as lecture and laboratory classes. This study primarily focused on the identification of the association between the academic performances of the engineering students in the subjects Chemistry for Engineers Lecture and the corresponding Chemistry for Engineers Laboratory. Five hundred eighty five (585) engineering students from the nine (9) different fields who enrolled the said subjects in the Academic Year 2019-2020, 1 st semester served as respondents in the study, namely Civil Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Electronics and Communications Engineering, Mechanical Engineering and Manufacturing Engineering. The overall grades were gathered and subjected to Spearman's rho Correlation analysis aside from the analysis made under descriptive statistics. Results show that there is a significant but weak positive association in the academic performances of the students in the lecture and laboratory subjects.
