| Summary: | The purpose of this study is to determine what Malaysian employers think about the importance of employability skills falling short among engineers, the quality of education system at Higher Education Institutions (HEIs), and important graduates’ attributes from the perspectives of employers in Malaysia. By the time this study was conducted, a proposed
theoretical framework was developed and has been designed to be used as a reference for future research. The employers’ perspectives (dependent variable), skills falling short, HEIs’
education system, and graduates’ attributes (independent variables) all influenced the development of this proposed theoretical framework. The results of this study offered
important practical implication for industry, engineers, Malaysian HEIs’, and graduates to be successful with the implementation of new skills, development programmes, and attributes to be ready for future industrial demands. It is hoped that current and future researchers working on related studies would find this proposed theoretical framework to be a useful resource. |
