The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between learning strategies, self-esteem, intellectual functioning and academic achievement among first-year engineering students in South Africa. The current study also intended to determine which variables would contribute significantly to academic achievement. Four measures (Learning and Study Strategies Inventory, Coopersmith Self-Esteem Inventory, Organiser, and Raven's Advanced Progressive Matrices) were administered to 111 students. The students' final examination results served as a measure of academic achievement. Modest but significant correlations were found between self-esteem, learning strategies, Organiser, and academic achievement. Results further revealed Attitude, Freedom from Anxiety, Test Strategies, and Organiser as significant contributors to academic achievement. Implications for educational practice are discussed
