Academic performance in engineering is not only dependent on the technical understanding of concepts in different subjects, but is also deeply influenced by students' ability to organize, internalize and apply these concepts through effective study habits and techniques. This article explores the factors that affect the study habits of engineering students, specifically in the field of electrical circuits, and analyzes the relationship of these habits with the academic performance of students in this area. Throughout this research, the most effective study strategies that can positively influence the assimilation of concepts and problem solving are addressed, as well as the possible underlying causes of low academic performance, which may be related to lack of study skills, inadequate time management or poor problem-solving techniques.

The study was carried out through a non-probabilistic sampling of convenience, in which 64 students from the engineering area participated in the discipline of electrical circuits of a public university institution in Mexico. These students were selected from a diverse group in terms of gender, age and academic background, providing a representative view of how study habits and learning strategies influence the academic performance of future electrical engineers.

The results obtained are presented as an analysis of the different socio-economic and cultural characteristics that students have, in addition to the different study methodologies adopted by students, which range from traditional methods such as memorization and passive reading to more active approaches such as group study, the practical resolution of exercises through different approaches that suit your learning style and the use of specialized technological tools.

As a result of this analysis, the trends that work best in students to improve academic performance are obtained, and a number of recommendations for improving study habits are proposed, Consequently, academic performance in electrical circuits engineering students. Some of these recommendations include encouraging greater interaction between students and teachers, the implementation of guided study sessions that promote practical problem solving and the use of educational technologies that can facilitate understanding of abstract concepts through interactive simulations. In addition, the importance of incorporating time management and stress management strategies as well as the promotion of active study techniques involving consistent practice and teamwork is emphasized.

In conclusion, this study provides valuable evidence and correlations on the relationship between the study habits of electrical circuit engineering students and their academic performance.
