在菲律宾，每年培养的工程专业毕业生的供应量低于需求量，因为当地的工业正在变得与工程相关。这对学术机构提出了挑战，以填补这一空白。评估显示，菲律宾工程专业的毕业率很低，大约35.4%的学生同时工作。为了帮助这些学生避免重考，支持者探讨和分析了工作负荷对学习成绩的影响及其相关因素，本研究采用美国宇航局任务负荷指数（NASA-TLX）测量学生的工作负荷。本研究提出的建议是采取干预措施，支持身心健康，以更好地科普高工作量的环境，这将反过来转化为更好的工作和学习成绩，从而提高毕业率。
In the Philippines, the supply of engineering graduates produced per year is lower than the demand as local industries are becoming engineering-related. This poses a challenge to academic institutions to fill this gap. Assessment reveals low graduation rate in the Engineering programs in the Philippines, where approximately 35.4% of the students are working at the same time. With the aim to help these students prevent possible retakes, the proponents explored and analyzed the effects of workload on academic performance and the factors associated with it. NASA Task Load Index (NASA-TLX) was utilized to measure students’ workload in this study. Recommendation presented in this research are interventions to support physical and mental health to better cope in a high workload environment, which will in return translate to better work and academic performance thus an increase in graduation rate.
