ABSTRACT
This research study aims to determine the employability of mechanical engineering
graduate which also explores the importance of the curriculum and nature of employment and
work-related behavior to the job placement of the graduate respondents.
Findings showed that engineering graduates shows their knowledge and skills learned
from the important factors in the field of employment.
It was concluded that improvements are needed in the Eastern Visayas State

We all know that mechanical engineering is one of the in demand courses nowadays. It
is a diverse course that needs to analyze and derives its breadth from the need to design and
manufactured everything from small individual parts and devices to a large system. One of the
biggest roles of studying mechanical engineering is to strive more and accept all the challenges
in order to acquire particular skills and knowledge. Mechanical engineering is the broadest and

concern that traditional education does not provide graduates with the standard employability
skills required by the industry. The gap between the education in Greek technological institutes
and industrial activity is expected to be bridged via a practical exercise during the last semester
of the graduate programmed. However the effectiveness of practical exercise has not been wide
investigated yet. The purpose of this article is to provide empirical evidence on the benefits and
barriers of practical exercise from student’s perspective. Additionally, the present study aims to
explore how the practical exercises in local industry, which are combined on occasion with
thesis research, may contribute in increasing the skills and employability of the mechanical
engineering students. The case study under investigation involves students of the mechanical
engineering department of the technological educational institute of western Greece. The study
is based on the feedback from the years 2010-2014. During this period, students have been

METHODOLOGY
The exploratory research of this study was conducted in multi stages, for identifying
engineering graduates and are experts in mechanical engineering domain and its needs in
employment.
A. Research design:
This employability study used the descriptive research design wherein according to
shuttle worth; it is a scientific method which involves observing and describing the behaviour
of a subject without influencing it in any way. The subject is being observed in a completely
natural and unchanged natural environment. Descriptive research is often used as a pre-cursor
to quantitative research designs, the general overview giving some valuable pointers as to
what variables are worth testing quantitatively. Quantitative experiments are often expensive
and time consuming so it is often good sense to get an idea of what hypothesis are worth
testing.
B. Research Instrument and Locale:
The research was done by the group at home, each having their own selected chapters
with the aid of a laptop, desk, dictionary and an internet connection. Most of the data and
information gathered from the internet at the internet cafe most likely of the review related
literatures and study and background of the study. Data from various source in the internet are
All the chapters are being shared to each members of the group, each have their own
portion. Each member performs independently for their own portion that allows us to come
up with a good data and output. The gathered data where consummated by the group for its
Engineering graduates are gainfully employed locally and enjoying the benefits of
regular status and handling professional, technical or supervisory positions where they find
their present jobs within 1 to 6 months. Relevance of the engineering program to graduates’
present work assignment is one of the common reasons in accepting and staying on the job
followed by career challenge and related to special skill. Communication skill is the most
common useful ability of the engineering graduates in their job placement followed by
critical thinking skill and problem solving skill while leadership, hard work and professional
integrity are the work-related values identified with very much contribution in meeting the
The employability of graduates must be ensure by the data shown on the theoretical
framework. Every student must gain all essence as a basic ground for one to be employed.
We concluded that employability does not matter if one is licensed or not, male or female or
married or single. On our survey, all have their jobs although not all got their license, this
gives a fact that being licensed doesn’t gives a very big impact on employment each one can
attain their future jobs and become successful. We also concluded that in order that the
employability rate will increase, students should be willing to study and strive for success.
curricular activities focusing on the enhancement of oral communication skill and working
with multidisciplinary teams. The university may strengthen their linkages with engineering
and manufacturing firms that will serve as the training ground of students for their internship
and as potential future work environment. Ensure that the graduates possessed the student
outcomes of the engineering program through appropriate assessment tools in the specific
