Abstract

This tracer research followed the growth of engineering graduates from Cebu Technological University-Danao Campus from 2022-2024. It aimed to evaluate how well the education and training provided by the university align with the demands of the job market. The study looked at five engineering programs: Industrial Engineering (IE), Mechanical Engineering (ME), Civil Engineering (CE), Electrical Engineering (EE), and Computer Engineering (CpE). Using surveys and interviews with alumni who graduated between 2022-2024, the study found that most respondents are employed, with many working in jobs relevant to their field of study. However, some gaps in soft skills and practical training were noted. The report also emphasized the alumnis high levels of job satisfaction, demonstrating the value of their education in their chosen employment. Furthermore, a significant proportion of the graduates pursued additional education, proving their dedication to ongoing personal and professional development. The survey shed light on the industries in which the graduates found work as well as their job titles. Overall, the tracer study validated the educational programs quality and provided guidance for future modifications to satisfy industry requirements.This tracer research followed the growth of engineering graduates from Cebu Technological University-Danao Campus from 2022-2024.
