ABSTRACT: The purpose of this study was to ascertain the level of academic performance in Auxiliary Machinery 2 subject and navigational trip among marine engineering students at maritime university, specifically JBLFMU-Molo, Iloilo City, Philippines. It further aimed also to determine the relationship of the two variables. The researchers used the quantitative research method and employed the descriptive statistics for the analysis of data among the randomly selected participants of the present study. The statistical tools were frequency, mean, and Pearson?s r. To come up with the data needed for this study, the questionnaire ? checklist on ?Navigational trip? was developed by the researchers. Results revealed that as an entire group, the level of academic performance was ?excellent? and the navigational trip was ?moderately satisfactory? among marine engineering students. The correlation between navigational trip and auxiliary machinery 2 subject was ?positive and significantly correlated.?
