Abstract:	This study examined the relationship between student engagement and numerical grade scores between family and child development and interior design students in post-secondary family and consumer sciences education (FCSE) programs using the perceptions of student engagement instrument. A one-way multivariate analysis of variance was performed to compare engagement scores with numerical grade scores between the two groups. The result of the MANOVA was statistically significant and the null hypothesis was rejected at a 95% confidence level where F(2,164) = 11.68, p <.01, partial χ2 = .125. Suggestions for future research include repeating the study with other higher education FCS programs, between broader groups of residential classes, and examining the impact of instructional pedagogy methods on student engagement and achievement in residential learning.
