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 University in
order to produce competent and productive graduates.

CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
Globalized scenario of product design, production and manufacturing opened huge
employment opportunities in all the industrial sectors like automotive, aerospace, energy,
infrastructure, medical and others, more particularly to engineering professionals graduating out
from the Institution.
Under the scenario of large business and employment opportunities, industries also face the
challenges like globally competing market, usage of technologies into the products, getting the
products early to market. Hence, the expectations from the industries are that, the fresh engineering
graduates delivered by the Institutions to be employable, should be able to work on actual
assignments with least trainings or handholding’s on-the job. Employer’s expectations of fresh hires
available as job-ready, throws a lot of challenge on the educational system, more particularly to the
institutions and their existence. This results in significant percentage of graduates left-out as
unemployable, a concern for the society and even to the country.
Employability of engineering graduates is a global issue of varying percentage and a
concern for both developing and developed nations. Various nations across the globe are making
progress in addressing this issue have joined together in developing standards for accreditation and
facilitate reforms in engineering educational institutions by sharing the best practices amongst them.
This enhances the quality of engineering education and profession as a whole.

AIM
This study aims for the enhancement and the increase of the employability rate by obtaining
several factors that helps improve employability of mechanical graduates IN EVSU-OCC and to
provide the adequate benefits for being a job ready employee.
OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY
 To determine whether the application knowledge of theory into practice is a factor in
employability of mechanical engineering graduates.

 To determine whether being licensed or unlicensed varies in having a high salary job.
 To identify the importance of Quality knowledge, application tools and the factors
significant to them towards practical application.

 To identify the importance of analytical and problem solving skills and the factors
influencing them as perceived by employer towards practical application.

 To test and quantify whether this gap in application of theory into practice is carried
forward to the profession.

BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
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 most
diverse of all the engineering disciplines.
Employability of graduate students in mechanical engineering in Greece, especially during
the current crisis period is a main issue. According to employers in the construction industry,
employability is associated with three requirements: a good degree, various technological and
manufacturing skills and a set of personal attributes. However, there is a 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 programme.
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 exhorted by teachers to be exposed to heavy industrial
environments during their practice exercise. The process of skills, development and progress has
been investigated and recorded by supervisors after frequent industrial visits and interviews.
The mechanism behind each student’s personal improvement has been found to be
associated with the gain of skills and knowledge on production processes as well as actions
planning and problem solving during manufacturing in real time. Through the analysis to learn
more, to apply theoretical and practical knowledge to solve real engineering problems to develop
effective interpersonal skills and to manage personal commitments. The increase of student’s
employability after working in production oriented companies is demonstrated by providing
statistical data related to post graduate unemployment periods.

SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY
The improvement of the employability is also the improvement of its institution. The
conveyance of knowledge to application and standardized implementations may be a huge asset in
employability of mechanical engineering graduates. The data gathered will be unusually good for
improving employability around the globe simply by means of analyzing the information that is
being gathered.
Lower percentage of the employability of engineering graduates in India, is a complex
problem and comes from various sources, like students admitted with varying curriculum of boards
of studies, varying qualifying marks in the admission process, varying culture and languages from
urban and rural parts of India, varying institutional infrastructures etc., Unfortunately most of the
engineering educational institutions have controls only on few of these factors to address at their
level, as rest of them are to be addressed by regulatory bodies, affiliated universities, government
etc.,
Under the above context, this study revolves around, identifying the factors as perceived by
the employers, which make significant impact on employability, implementable at the institutional
level and their interrelationship. The study is focused to mechanical engineering domain and under
graduate engineering students.
This study will not only improve employability but also the improvement of lives of many,
opportunity comes with great ideals and attributes in the domain of industries.

Chapter II.
Review of Related Literature and Studies
Literature survey deals with employability of mechanical engineering graduates in India,
gap reported in literatures made by other researchers, national bodies understand etc. has been
proposed to be present in this chapter along with research gap identified.
The unmet expectations of the industry arise from many factors such as lack of theoretical
knowledge relevant to the current day needs of the industry, lack of analytical ability to analyze
risks, lack of communication ability to convey the thoughts and ideas, lack of knowledge and its
impact on quality and cost, cultural differences due to the presence of multi-national companies in
India and consequent higher expectations in a globally competitive market. Each of the above
factors contributes to the employability of engineering graduates in its own way. Some of the above
mentioned factors might be common across all the branches engineering. The issues arising out of
domain skills and their interactions have to be studied with the inputs from the respondent who are
knowledgeable on mechanical engineering domains needs for the job roles and across regions of
India.
As observed earlier, problem of lower employability of engineering graduates is a complex
issue under the influence of many factors on which institutions have less or no controls. An attempt
has been made through this research study to bring the factional information to the extent possible,
by capturing the voice of customs (VoC) who are employers representatives involved in hiring
process, knowledgeable on mechanical engineering.
Literatures towards employability, but found to have a short in capturing the voices of
domain experts in the given field of engineering, as most of the respondents were human
resource professionals. Employability issue’s in higher education, education is appeared to be an
issue across institutions and global poles with varying percentages, not specific to India.
Employability and quality in higher education, though the employability is measured as the
output quality of higher education, but it has been observed that literatures have not brought out
the constraints or limitations of the institutions like variations in student inputs to higher
educational institutions and practical knowledge gap carried over.

Chapter III.
METHODOLOGY
The exploratory research of this study was conducted in multi stages, for identifying
important factor that affect the employability of mechanical engineering graduates. Respondents
are the employers’ representatives, involved in hiring process of fresh 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
also being utilize for the output of this project.
C. Data Gathering Procedures:
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 final
documentation and fabrication.

SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS
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 demands of the present employment of the
mechanical engineering graduates.
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. Everyone can attain
something high by a long and steady process
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that that the mechanical engineering students may be given 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 period as deemed
necessary. Seminars may be conducted by the college of engineering focusing on the total quality
management or any quality assurance mechanism as common area of concern for all institutions
and industries. Conducting research collaboration with the industries through engineering
graduates or alumni to strengthen partnership with the employers.
