Abstract

The paper presents and analyzes the factors that affect the enrollment and completion of studies of candidates in the Geodesy study program at the Faculty of Architecture, Civil Engineering and Geodesy of the University of Banja Luka, who were enrolled in the first admission period in the period 2012 to 2015. The influence of mathematics subjects on the completion of studies was analyzed in particular. With advanced techniques for data analysis, generation of decision trees and related rules, using data mining methods, it was shown that passing at least one mathematics course in the current academic year is an important predictor for the completion of studies.
