Background
It

is difficult for the young engineer to get a good start in


their career (Randolph, 1993).
Although open-ended design problems can be used to
improve a students ability in the practice of engineering,
it is possible that graduate engineers leave university with
a lack of problem recognition and solution skills (Evans et
al., 1993 and Scott & Yates, 2002).
Civil engineers must continue to learn in order to
experience a successful and satisfying career (Grigg et al.,
2001).
Have good interpersonal skills and communicate
effectively (Moaveni and Sharma, 2011).

Purpose and Scope


To

study the problems faced by engineering


graduates and types of professional skills they
needed when step out into the working world.
Focused on the view of 50 respondents from
Faculty of Engineering.
