Abstract

The students can perform well in the study as well as in the practices if they learn to solve engineering problems. However, the gaps between the obtaining knowledge in school and skills in practices were still large. It is a challenge to find improvement in the education model so that the students can perform well both in school and future practices. This study aimed at investigating the relationship between knowledge and confidence to the engineering students’ achievement through confidence-based testing. The survey was distributed to the students who were taking structural analysis course. The tests were scored and run using Partial Least Square Structural Equation Modelling to obtain the inter-relationship between all action. The results showed the confidence did not directly affect the students’ achievement, but the knowledge did. The highly confidence can make students to gain highly or lower achievement. The highly confidence with the true knowledge developed potential from the students to get higher achievement. The findings showed highly achievement can be increased if the trainer can continuously make the students realize their false knowledge in their highly confidence. The highly confidence with the correct knowledge will impact in how the engineers behave in solving the engineering’s problems.
