This document outlines a research study evaluating the performance of civil engineering graduates from Saint Joseph Institute of Technology in Butuan City, Philippines in civil engineering licensure examinations from November 2018 to May 2019. The study aims to determine the passing rate of graduates, subjects they performed weakly in, and number of attempts before passing. Based on previous results, a small percentage of graduates passed below the national average. The research seeks to identify gaps in teaching and learning to improve strategies and techniques to increase future passing rates.

OUTLINE

I. Introduction

A. Thesis Statement
The performance of graduates in the Bachelor of Science in
Civil Engineering Program is best tested with the actual results in the
Philippine Civil Engineering Licensure Examination. A closer look at
its past performance would create a basis of enhancement on how
to improve a program’s current passing rate and would serve as a
reflection of how effective the teaching-learning process is. This
study evaluates the performance of the BS Civil Engineering
graduates of the College of Engineering and Architecture (CEA) in
Saint Joseph Institute of Technology – Butuan City covering the
November 2018 to May 2019 Civil Engineering Licensure
Examinations.

B. Purpose of Research Paper


This research is concerned with the trend of passing rate of
BSCE Engineering Program in the Civil Engineering Licensure
Examinations and analysis of what board exam subjects BSCE
graduates were weak or strong at, as well as their frequency of taking
the board exams before they became licensed civil engineers.
Generally, this research aimed to determine the performance
of Saint Joseph Institute of Technology – Butuan City Bachelor of
Science in Civil Engineering graduates in the past Civil Engineering
Licensure Examination from November 2018 to May 2019.

II. Body
A. Argument 1
A high passing rate in the Civil Engineering examination is
then recognized to be one of the best tests of a school‘s performance
in offering the BS Civil Engineering Program. The Philippine
Regulation Commission (PRC), in its November 2018 CELE results,
revealed that 17.05% (15 out of 88) of takers from Saint Joseph
Institute of Technology got a passing rate above zero but below the
national passing rate of 45.09% (6,262 out of 13,887), and in its May
2019 CELE results, 23.19% (16 out of 69) of takers from the same
institution also got a passing rate above zero but still below the
national passing rate of 38.08% (3,372 out of 8,855). However, there
is an 6.14% increase from the November 2018 CELE to last May
2019 board examination. These figures shows both a positive and
negative measure for the quality and standard of education the
institution provides in this particular program. Positive since there is
an increase in the school’s passing rate, but negative due to the fact
that both dates of examination only have few passers than failed
being below the national passing rate. Hence, the need to evaluate
the graduates’ performance and influence improvements through
this study.

B. Argument 2
The difficulty of the Philippine Civil Engineering Licensure
Examination could be attributed to its content. It composes of 3
subjects, namely; Mathematics, Surveying, and Transportation
Engineering; Hydraulics and Geotechnical Engineering; and
Structural Engineering and Construction. Furthermore, this study will
determine the number of times the graduates took the exam before
they became licensed civil engineers and the board subjects in which
the graduates performed weak based on date of exams and batch or
year of graduation.
III. Summary of Arguments
Based on the arguments given:

1. Fewer passers, having a passing rate above zero but below


the national passing rate based on last November 2018 to
May 2019 Civil Engineering Licensure Examinations
2. The board subjects in which the graduates performed weak
based on date of exams and batch or year of graduation.

As a consequence, there is a need for Saint Joseph Institute


of Technology to find the gap(s) between students‘ actual
performance and faculty service delivery. The result of the licensure
examinations would be a test of the quality of faculty service delivery
and what the student has received. The results of this study would
then be useful for making strategic management improvements in
running the Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering program.
In addition, the results of the study will influence the creation
of innovations in the form of improvements in methods of teaching
and techniques, student activities and possible drills to improve the
performance of BSCE graduates in the Civil Engineering Licensure
Examination.
