Readiness for the Licensure Exam of the Engineering Students

Abstract

The paper evaluated the performance of the civil engineering graduates of the University of Mindanao in the licensure exam for period 2009 to 2011. The paper employed maximum likelihood estimation of a model with categorical variable. The findings revealed that grade point average, design and construction, mathematics and hydraulics and survey subjects predict passing the licensure examination. A simulation of the predictor variables determines the degree of readiness of the students for the examination.
