Data collecting technique was using Performance Failure Appraisal Inventory (PFAI) scale by Conroy (2002) with reliability coefficient score of (α) =0.920. Hypothesis testing used independent sample t-test with significance score of 0,174 (p>0.05). Based on the result, it can be concluded that there is no different fear of failure based on sex on Students of Engineering Faculty in Universities in Aceh.
