Survey of Graduate Engineers Ability in Reading & Interpreting Engineering Drawing.

Introduction.  
 
Thank you for taking the time to contribute to our survey of graduate engineers' abilities in
reading & interpreting engineering drawings.  Your  thoughtful  answers  to  the  questions  that  
follow will  be  extremely valuable  in determining  the appropriate activities of our research into
improving graduate skills.  
 
This questionnaire does not seek confidential information from companies and  individuals.    If
you are concerned that answering any specific question will identify your company, please
leave it blank.  
 
If  you  are  unable  to  answer  a  question,  please  leave  it  blank.  If  you  are  uncertain  
about  a question or this survey, please do not hesitate to contact the researcher
( Zulkeflee Abdullah) - contact details at the end of this introduction.
 
It  is hoped  that  this  initiative will  support  the development of the engineering profession.
Specifically,  the current project aims  to enhance  the quality of undergraduate engineering
student through enhanced training related to reading & interpreting
engineering drawings.  

If the question is Not Applicable (N/A) to you or your company or you don't know the answer to the
question, please don't attempt to answer question but just leave it blank.

If any of my survey questions are ambiguous, or I don't make myself clear please let me
know - preferably  by contacting me via email or telephone below.

There are 28 numbers of questions.

This Questionnaire should not take more than 5 to 10 minutes of your time.

Thank you for your contribution.
