The university developed the {\textquotedblleft}Employability Map; E-Map{\textquotedblright} by weighting the learning hours, which was used to evaluate students{\textquoteright} various employability items over the course of their schooling. Considering it not so appropriate to use students{\textquoteright} credits on courses to be the standard of judgment, the Department of Computer Science \& Information Engineering (hereinafter the department) proposed an innovative method to convert the E-Map of weighting by learning achievement to conduct assessments that is more reflection students{\textquoteright} employability indices for graduate, and analyzed the questionnaires of alumni and their employers{\textquoteright} various core employability indices. From those questionaires, finding the graduating students and alumni are lack of self-confidentce. The statistical data shall serve as a reference for guiding students at course selection, as well as improving department courses and planning. }, keywords = {employability indices, employability map, learning achievement, learning portfolio}, issn = {1822-7864}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.33225/pec/19.77.209}, url = {http://oaji.net/articles/2019/457-1556863691.pdf}, author = {Shu-Chen Cheng and Shing-Lin Chang} }
