Analysis of the effective factors on student progress: A Case Study in the Mazandaran University of Sciences & Technology

This work is concerned with analyzing the effective factors on education promotion for Mazandaran University of Science and Technology’s students. Using a descriptive-analytic method and a proposed questionnaire the required data are collected. The results show that there are significant relations among entrance exam rank, employment, scientific environment, entrance share, interest in the field of study, emotional experience, pre-university average, with educational promotion. Scientific environment, interest in the field of study, and pre-university academic average have a direct impact on education promotion. Also, a significant difference is found for education promotion between Industrial engineering and computer engineering students. A significant difference in education promotion is found between students who entered university in 1387 (2008) and 1389 (2010), too. Another point is that the education promotion of female students is higher than that of male students. Amongst national entrance exam rank, employment, scientific environment, entrance share, interest in the subject, emotional experience, pre-university average, and conditional score variables, there are significant differences.
