Abstrakt: Much has been said about the high unemployment rate among local graduates in Malaysia. This issue has raised two pertinent questions: 1). What are employers' perceptions toward Malaysian engineering graduates?; 2). What do employers expect from them? This study was carried out among individuals who are superiors to Malaysian engineering graduates currently in the workforce to answer both these questions. Forty-eight companies within seven states from various locations in Selangor, Kuala Lumpur, Malacca, Perak, Kedah, Penang and Negri Sembilan were involved in this study. Sixty five individuals from these companies responded to the survey. This paper will present the findings of this preliminary study. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
