Abstract
Through the CEAB accreditation program, graduate attribute competencies are currently being standardized throughout the engineering programs in Canada. Challenges of these requirements are in understanding the implementation process and determining the outcome levels of the students. This study went outside of the university environment to determine the outcome levels found in graduated students. It consisted of a series of interviews with two groups of engineers working in a major energy corporation in the Province of Manitoba. One group consisted of senior engineers with a minimum of 15 years experience while the other was of new graduates with at minimum 18 months of service. The groups were asked questions on job requirements for new graduates with a follow-up survey on levels of competency for each graduate attribute. This paper describes the process and the analysis of the information. Results were consistent between both groups but show levels of competency at lower levels than determined from a student perspective at time of graduation
