Abstract
This study provides an in-depth analysis of recent graduates’ experience with completing an engineering technology program and entering the profession. It is unique because the study was conducted on a baccalaureate-level program and because it helps fill a gap in the literature. The phenomenological method was used to obtain qualitative data to understand the personal meaning of the process for the participants. Findings include positive perceptions about the curriculum and faculty, and some areas for improvement. The graduates found personal meaning especially in their capstone course and by being involved with the engineering student organization. There are implications for program evaluation and educational leadership.

Reaction: measures how the participants measurements such as reduction of errors or liked a specific learning experience; it could increased profits This may be the most include their perceptions about the teacher, the important level for the employer, it is the content and methods, and even logistics such as most challenging to quantify the results of the facility and schedule. Preconceived notions or conclusions are employers believe graduate employees exhibit not a part of qualitative inquiry, because they attributes of skill, knowledge, and attitudes Such evaluations may be more common than is Biklen, 2003; Marshall & Rossman, 2006). A goal tions were employed: for the subject selection was that the experiences
