Abstract: Outcomes-Based Education provides another way in similar perspective of assessing the performance of the university students. This study aimed to determine the factors affecting the performance of engineering students in the assessment examination. Descriptive type of research method with regression analysis was utilized in the study. Results showed that no significant difference in the scores was found between the scores of male and female, between students who graduated in private school and public school, between family income, mother’s educational attainment, father’s educational attainment, and distance of the residence to the school. They would like a job that involves mathematics and they like to do things related to mathematics were the students’ attitudes that predicted the results of the OBE assessment examination in mathematics.
