Abstract:

This study employed WEKA software and data mining techniques in order to identify the critical grade subject(s) needed for passing the Licensure Examination for the BS Agricultural and Biosystems Engineering. The study's proponents examined the ABE licensure examination and grades of 84 BSABE graduate students between September 2015 and October 2019 in order to ascertain if higher scores on undergraduate exams correlate with passing the licensure examination. Researchers also created a dataset covering all academic subjects within the BSABE Program, such as Engineering Mathematics, Science Subjects, Major Subjects, General Subjects, and Competency Appraisal subjects. Their results suggested that undergraduate students who scored highly on these subjects during their undergraduate studies stood a better chance of passing the ABE Licensure Examination.
