Abstract

The Electrical Engineering Education Study Program is one of the study programs within the Faculty of Engineering, State University of Surabaya. The Electrical Engineering Education Program must always develop itself based on real data. One of the data bases in the development of the Electrical Engineering Education study program is through data generated from alumni tracing activities or known as tracer studies. The UNESA Electrical Engineering Education S1 Study Program has 2 areas of interest including the field of Electrical Power Engineering and the field of Communication Electronics Engineering. The curriculum of the Electrical Engineering Education Study Program, FT Unesa, which was developed is the OBE (Outcome Based Education)-based MBKM curriculum to prepare for ASIIN international accreditation. A tracer study, which is understood as an alumni survey, is carried out by universities with the aim of digging up information related to the journey of graduates, starting from the time they finish their education in college until the time the survey is carried out. Information obtained from tracer studies is very useful for various evaluations of higher education outcomes, improvement and assurance of the quality of higher education institutions and the relevance of higher education, information for stakeholders, and the completeness of requirements for higher education accreditation. The main problem of this tracer study is how to describe the career development of the alumni of the Electrical Engineering Education Study Program in the world of work. In detail, the tracer study aims to: (1) find out the job profile of alumni; (2) determine the suitability of the profile of graduates of the Electrical Engineering Education Study Program with the field of work; and (3) knowing the length of the waiting period from graduation to getting the first job. The method used in this tracer study is a survey. The population in this study are all alumni of the Electrical Engineering Education Study Program graduating in 2021–2022. The total population is used as a data source.
