Abstract

The aim of this study was to examine the employability skills of construction drawing engineering students in construction drawing engineering in industrial working practices in Indonesia. This is very important in improving productivity in the workplace. The sample consisted of 124 vocational high school students selected by proportional random sampling. Data analysis used descriptive analysis, matched-pairs Wilcoxon test and multivariate analysis. The results showed that the students' employability skills were categorised as good with a low discrepancy of 25.82% according to the industrial perspective and 20.81% according to the students' perspective. Furthermore, the employability skill indicators giving a significant difference were higher-order thinking skills and the personal qualities of the students. © 2018 World Institute for Engineering and Technology Education (WIETE).
