    Aim of this study is to investigate the learners’ profile, inspect students’ learning models and provide a better structure for learners that can help to improve their learning experience and success on engineering students via a non-math course using an e-learning portal. Using the LASSI (Learning and Study Strategies Inventory) and ILS (Index of Learning Styles) questionnaires on over 400 Software Engineering and Mathmetics & Computing students taking “History of Civilization” course which is a project based online course. 400 students took the LASSI and ILS questionnaires and their grades at the end of the term were collected. The data collected from students was examined by confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and structural equation modeling (SEM). As the analysis results show, the LASSI scales referring to cooperation and self-regulation have positive effect and correlation with eachother where those scales also effect students’ achievement on the course in a positive way. Also, the ILS results for students seem to effect their grades taken from the course which also has an effect on their achievement on “History of Civilization” course. The work presented here puts forward a learning model for engineering students on a non-math course in order that students’ achievement on a non-math course gets better.
