摘要

This study aimed to provide insights on the perceptions of engineering students from two educational paths in Singapore of desired graduate attributes by employers. Research questions: (1) Do graduates from the polytechnic and junior college paths have similar perceptions with regard to the ranking of desirable graduate attributes? (2) If not, in what ways are their perceptions different? Literature review: A review of literature on employers' ranking of desirable graduate attributes revealed mismatches in employers' and graduates' rankings. There has not been any published study on student awareness of employability skills in Singapore in particular. Hence, this study investigated the perceptions of final-year engineering students from two different educational paths of their ranking of graduate attributes. Methodology: The students were asked to rank eight attributes and explain their ranking from an employer's perspective. Results: The findings show that communication, teamwork, and problem-solving were ranked the top three desirable attributes by both groups of students. However, polytechnic students seem to reflect greater familiarity and confidence in tackling workplace requirements compared to junior college students. The implications of the findings are presented.

(2)如果没有,他们的看法有何不同?文献综述:有关雇主对理想毕业生属性排名的文献综述显示,雇主和毕业生排名不匹配。特别是在新加坡,还没有任何关于学生对就业技能的认识的公开研究。因此,本研究调查了从工程学毕业生对研究生属性排名的两种不同教育途径对工程学专业本科生的看法。方法:要求学生对八个属性进行排名,并从雇主的角度解释其排名。结果:调查结果表明,交流,团队合作和解决问题的能力在两组学生中均排名前三。但是,与大专生相比,理工学院的学生似乎更能满足应对工作场所的要求。介绍了调查结果的含义。
