 There are two hundred eight (208) CE graduates from year 2015 to 2017 and
among these, eighty-six (86) have responded to the survey conducted by the
researchers which is equivalent to 41.35%. Twenty-five (25) responses were from year
2015 which covers 34.25% out of seventy-three (73) graduates from this year.
Another nineteen (19) responses were from year 2016 which makes up 36.54% out of
fifty–two (52) graduates from 2016. Lastly, out of eighty-three (83) graduates from
2017, forty-two (42) graduates have responded which corresponds to 50.60%. There
are also a total number of thirty-seven (37) responses from the employers which is
equivalent to 43.02% out of the eighty-six (86) employers of the graduates who
responded from the initial survey (the survey for the graduates).
 Based on the results, among the three (3) years: 2015,
2016 and 2017, the number of male graduates is undeniably
greater than females. The researchers conclude that males are
more interested in Civil Engineering than females due to the
concept that this program is suited for men.
PERSONAL PROFILE OF THE GRADUATES
 According to the responses of the graduates, the board
passers ranges from 50% and above for the years 2015, 2016 and
2017 while the non-board passers ranges from 24% and below. It
was also found out that the reasons behind failing the board
examination are: lack of review, lack of discipline and lack
of focus.
BOARD EXAMINATION INFORMATION
 Out of eighty-six (86) responses from the
graduates, most of the graduates are employed
which is equivalent to 75 or 87.21% while 11 or
12.79% are unemployed. Most of the unemployed are 2017
graduates, it is simply because they just graduated, most of
them are still looking for a job. Some of the graduates find it
hard to land on a job because of some difficulties and “very few
job openings and there is strong competition” is the most reason
of the graduates among these.
CURRENT EMPLOYMENT STATUS
 . There are 38 (50.67%) graduates from private
agencies while 37 (49.33%) graduates from public offices.
Most of the graduates work here in Palawan. The total number
of the employed graduates who works here within the
province is 44 (58.67%), 30 (40%) employed graduates works
outside Palawan but still within the country, and only 1 (1.33%)
employed graduate works abroad.

TYPE OF EMPLOYMENT
 The graduates have different job titles, but among
these, the Site Engineer, Project Engineer and Engineer 1
have the most rate. Based on the gathered data, these job titles
were very common to those who were fresh graduates.

CURRENT JOB TITLE

 Tenure of employment has a great factor when it comes to
the monthly gross income of the graduates, those who have been
working for a long period of time in a specific agency/office tend
to have greater salary than those who have been working for a
shorter period of time.

TENURE OF EMPLOYMENT
 Most of 2015 and 2017 employed graduates has a monthly salary of ten
thousand pesos (₱10,000) to less than twenty thousand pesos (₱20,000) with a
frequency of 11 or 47.83% and 24 or 72.73%, respectively. While most of 2016
employed graduates has a monthly salary ranging from twenty thousand pesos
(₱20,000) to less than thirty thousand pesos (₱30,000) with a frequency of 10 or
52.63%. But to be evaluated generally, most number of graduates earn a monthly
salary ranging from ten thousand pesos (₱10,000) to less than twenty
thousand pesos (₱20,000) with a percentage of 56%. The salary of the graduates is
greatly affected by the type of employment, the tenure of employment, and the
current ranking of the graduates.

SALARY
 There were three (3) rankings that the researchers
have presented to their questionnaire, among these,
Supervisory Level got the most frequency. This rank mostly
corresponds to the Project and Site Engineers which were also
the job titles that got the highest frequency as well.

PRESENT RANKING
• Most of the 2015 graduate-respondents land their first job in less than a
month after graduating with a corresponding frequency of 9 or 37%. 5 or 28%
of the 2016 graduate-respondents land their first job in less than three (3)
months. 14 or 41% of the 2017 graduate-respondents land their first job in less
than twelve (12) months after graduating. By these information, it is known
that graduates of 2015 and 2016 did not find it hard to land on their first job
which is a complete opposite of the graduates of 2017.
• For the job category of the graduates, Professional, Technical or Supervisory
has the highest frequency which is equivalent to total number of 42 or
63.64%.

FIRST JOB
• The nature of business that the company of the graduates engages mostly
with is the Construction Industry, which is undeniably true due to the
fast growing development within the province and the country.
• On the first job of the graduates, most of them earns fifteen
thousand pesos (₱15,000) to less than twenty thousand pesos
(₱20,000).
• The competencies that are most useful in the first job of the graduates
are Communication Skills, Technical Skills and Critical Thinking
Skills.

FIRST JOB
 • Most of the graduates have stayed for only one (1) to six (6)
months in their first job which is because a better job
came along. Most of the graduates were not promoted from
their first job, only thirteen (13) were promoted within just
one year which was due to a Promotion by Merit.

FIRST JOB
 • Based on the results, 66 0r 91.67% of graduates have
responded that their job has congruence to their course,
2 or 2.78% responded that there is no job congruence
while 4 or 5.56% responded that there is only
slight congruence. This means that almost all of the
works of the graduates are related to Civil Engineering

JOB CONGRUENCE
 The top three methods used by the
respondents to search for jobs were:
Referrals, Walk-in Application and
General Job-listing Sites.

DURATION AND METHOD OF JOB SEARCH

WEAK AREAS OF THE PROGRAM WHICH NEEDS TO BE IMPROVED
The top three (3) recommendations and suggestions
of the graduates for the improvement of the weak areas of
the program are: Upgrade the facilities, Review and
update the curriculum and syllabi, and Employ only
competent faculty members; provide faculty development
programs to update faculty and improve their
teaching competencies.
 VALUES AND TRAITS LEARNED FROM THE INSTITUTION
Based on the calculated results, the graduates from
year 2015 have highly developed faith, diligence and
honesty from the institution. For the graduates of year 2016,
sociability, diligence and obedience were highly
developed. And lastly, for the graduates of 2017, enthusiasm,
obedience and sociability were highly developed.
 SKILLS AND VALUES PRACTICED IN WORK
From their evaluation for the assessment of the work
performance of the graduates, it was calculated that the overall
work performance of the graduates was satisfactory with a mean
of 3.15. Meanwhile, for the employer’s/immediate supervisor’s
assessment on the values practiced by the graduates during work,
obedience, diligence and commitment were the top three (3)
values with the highest frequency. This means that the values and
traits that the graduates have developed while studying
at Palawan State Universities were performed during their
work.
Recommendations
• To the Local Government of Palawan and Puerto Princesa

Palawan State University produces many Civil Engineering

graduates every year. That is why the researchers recommends that the
local government of Palawan and Puerto Princesa must pay attention to
it and they should at least give a chance to the graduates to work for
them, especially now that the province of Palawan and City of Puerto
Princesa is rapidly developing and urbanizing.
Recommendations
• To the Institution, the Palawan State University (PSU)

The Palawan State University must find a way on how

to help the graduates to have a good job with the help of the
university’s partnership with some of the public and private
agencies and also by providing a job placement program for
the graduating students.
Recommendations
To the College of Engineering, Architecture and Technology

The college must be able to ensure that they would provide the
latest and the updated form of education in order to be able to produce
graduates equipped with the latest state of the art technical know-how. In
addition, the college must provide upgraded facilities for the students. The
college should also review and update the curriculum and syllabi that they
use and employ only the competent faculty members and provide faculty
development programs to update and improve their teaching
competencies. The researchers also recommend that the college should
implement a maximum limit of 35 students per class.
 Recommendations
To the Civil Engineering Department

• offer subjects such as Review and Calculator Techniques for 4th and 5th year
students
• consider adding other engineering software in some subjects such as STAAD,
ETABS, MX Road, Revit Structure and SAP 2000
• implement a Pre-Board Examination for the graduating students
• move the schedule of the On-The-Job Training (OJT) of the graduating
students from the second semester of 5th year to the summer period of 4th year
 Recommendations
To the Future Researchers

• lend a long time in the gathering of data because it is not easy to contact
the graduates and their
• submit a request letter to the university registrar as soon as possible
• be patient and persistent in communicating the graduates
