There is an increasing evidence for associations between students' attendance and their academic achievement in general. However, it is not clear how it is related to students' motivational behaviours such as, study planning and management, especially in the context of engineering education. This study examines this relationship on a sample of engineering students (N=98). The results showed a significant positive relationship between student attendance and study management and between study planning and study management behaviours. Significant gender differences revealed that female students reported higher levels of attendance and study management behaviours than male students. Further research is required to pursue this initial understanding of motivational orientations of engineering students by tracking their attendance and motivational behaviours over time. Limitations of the current study are discussed and recommendations for future research are presented.Keywords
Attendance, Motivation, Engineering Students, Study Management, Study Planning, Gender Differences.

The engineering schools usually target problem-solving skills in students instead of conceptual development, which is an essential skill for transformation from novice to professional engineer as per the program objective. Improving a student's conceptual knowledge can help students understand a problem better and develop a better solution. Conceptual understanding also assists students in identifying gaps in their problem-solving techniques. This paper attempts to administer a Signal and System Concept Inventory (SSCI) to test the conceptual knowledge of core concepts of signals and systems course and then identify the correlation of post-test scores with the student's performance in the end-term exam. The result shows that the students who scored above 80% in concept inventory also performed outstanding in the end-term examination. The result also indicates that most of the students able solve questions on background mathematics and pole- zero plots but struggled with convolution and Fourier analysis.Keywords
