  • Abstract
    Engineering majored college graduates in China have been facing more and more challenges and competitions in the employment markets since the national higher education enrollment expansion was put in practice a decade ago. Generally, there are three factors contributing to today´s status in quo: ten-year college enrollment expansion, degrading quality of college recruits, and staggering teaching quality of college faculties. In this paper, for engineering specialized college graduates, the overall employment concerns are addressed and status in quo is analyzed, and two case-studies are conducted investigating the employment conditions for the information engineering majored college graduates based on the first-hand dataset pooled from the author´s college. In the end, some suggestions are proposed for the undergraduates´ employment-oriented solutions.
