| Summary: | This article investigates the need of sustainable competencies of electronic
engineering graduates from industry perspectives. A survey study was designed that
involved 65 participants from electronic industries in the West Java. Participants
completed a set 88 items questionnaire content within 13 themes of sustainable
competencies using five-points Likert scales. Interview sessions were conducted that
involved several key persons in the top management to support the findings. The
result, a quantitative data indicated that 13 themes of sustainable competencies
included were scored higher such as ethic and value, effective communication,
healthy lifestyle, and integrated decision making. This was also supported by the
qualitative data. Therefore, the study concludes that participants from industry
perceived the respective sustainable competencies of electronic engineering
graduates are strongly needed. The implication is that engineering curriculum in
universities should take into consideration, which to be embedded with sustainable
competencies in order to fulfill the industrial need. |
