The aim of establishment polytechnic in Malaysia is to produce excellent and quality graduates to cater the needs of human capital in our country. However, the achievement of the graduates is still at a less satisfactory level. The failure among students to achieve outstanding academic achievement is due to not understanding the process and their learning style. This study is conducted to explore and examine the depth of learning style practice among students using Felder-Silverman learning style model (FSLSM) with their academic achievement in engineering study at polytechnic Malaysia. The method of data collection was in the form of survey using questionnaire. There are 36 polytechnics in Malaysia and 8792 students were involved for the study. The results of data analysis obtained among engineering students using Index Learning Style (ILS) were upon four dimensions of FSLSM which are processing, perception, input, and understand. A formula is generated based on ILS referring to the received results as a preliminary measurement of student intake into engineering field at polytechnic Malaysia.
