MULTIPLE LINEAR REGRESSION OF FACTORS INFLUENCING FEMALE ENGINEERING STUDENTS’ SATISFACTION: AN APPLICATION IN SAUDI ARABIA

Students are the most significant stakeholders in any educational institution as they play a pivotal role in education. Since they are directly impacted by the quality of education in the institution, they can provide valuable insights for improving teaching methods, curriculum design, and institutional policies. Their growth and success will contribute to the development of the overall society. This research aims to model the relationship between teaching quality, assessments and facilities, practical sessions, and engineering student satisfaction using multiple regression analyses. The data was collected based on a survey prepared by the College of Engineering - girls’ campus at Saudi University. The sample analyzed in this study consisted of 5577 cases. The results show that teaching quality, practical sessions, assessments, and facilities significantly influence engineering student satisfaction (P-value < 0.05). The coefficient of determination is 0.66 indicating that the independent variables could explain 66%. The remaining 34% required further investigations.
