recommendation.

This research aims to know the outcome if Marine Engineering graduates of

TIPQC is very successful in becoming a Marine Engineer in foreign going ships. The

result of this research will give the Marine Engineering Department as well as with its

students the idea and possibility a Marine Engineering graduate of TIPQC become an

the factors that affect the time of becoming a Marine Engineer in foreign merchant

vessels.
 With regards to these matters, the researchers found out that some of the

graduates of Marine Engineering of TIPQC are still in ratings which are the Oiler and

Wiper rank. While the graduates that became an engineer took time of becoming one

due to the unavailability of the position, ladderized program for promotion, and taking a
