Definition of Terms
Graduate Tracer Study. Is a survey that attempts to trace the information and
activities of the graduates of an educational institution.
Trace. Follows the course or development of graduates of College of
Engineering of Naval State University.
Training. Practices taken by the graduates after college.
Employment. Graduates act of employing or their state of being employed.
Data. A collection of facts, statistics or item of information about the graduates
of the College of Engineering of Naval State University.
and/or the adaptation of courses on offer to make them more current, meaningful and
worthwhile. The new paradigm for higher education stresses, among other things, the
need for institutional autonomy with accountability. Higher education institutions need
to be concerned with the ultimate disposition and success of their graduates in order
to ensure that their educational products are consistent with both student and
ultimately employer needs (National Higher Educational Institution, 2001).
Employability Standards. According to Schomburg (2001), tracer studies of
graduates of African Universities have been conducted in order to address the issue
of work skills and high unemployment. From 1996-2000, a total of 15 tracer studies
have been carried out in 7 African countries of approximately 8000 graduates,
sponsored mainly by the Association of African Universities (AAU) study programme
on Higher Education Management. Topics covered include: transition from higher
education to work, job search, employment, and conditions, use of knowledge and
skills, appropriate position and job satisfaction and retrospective assessment of study
conditions. This tracer study identified the strengths and weaknesses of the
methodological approaches used to trace the graduates and found that the transition
from study to work is a process often marked by uncertainties and anxieties in
different parts of the world.
Another tracer study was conducted across 9 European countries from 19982000 with a sample of 3000 graduates. This study explored the relationship between
higher education and employment four years after graduation. The comparison
provided a good opportunity to examine the extent to which higher education and the
world of work are similar or different among European and African countries.

productivity for the output has more direct relation to the economic development of
the nation.

This part of the paper presents the System Development Life Cycle using a
Waterfall Model to illustrate the whole process in a linear sequential flow in order to
achieve the objective of this paper. Figure 2 above shows the System Development
Life Cycle used in this paper. Below is the sequential phases of the Waterfall Model:
Requirement Analysis. The Project Development Team attempts to ask all the
questions and secure all the answers needed to build the requirement in developing
the College of Engineering Webpage system. These include the following:
1. User should be able to view the demographic profile of the respondents in
terms of: civil status, gender, region of origin, province and location of
residence;
2. User should be able to view the educational background of the engineering
graduates in terms of: educational attainment, professional examination(s)
passed and reasons for taking the course/pursuing the degree;
3. User should be able to view the training/advance studies attended after
college;
4. User should be able to view the employment data of the engineering
graduates;
System Design. The Project Development Team creates a design for
functionality, including database design, webpage interface, tags and codings to be
use. For this paper, the project development team used Hypertext Mark-up Language
(HTML) for screen design and layout and used PHP in generating the server.
Structure Query Language (SQL) has also been used in making tables and database
design for the system.
13
Implementation.
The
Project
Development
Team
programmers
had
implemented the requirements using the hardware, software and data being taken for
the proceedings of the system design.
Testing. The Project Development Team tests entire functionality. All the units
developed in the implementation phase are tested for any faults and failures.
Deployment. The product functionality is released into the market.
Maintenance. There are some issues which come up in the client environment.
To fix those issues, patches will be release. Also to enhance the system, some better
versions will be release. Maintenance is done to deliver these changes in the
customer environment.
