Abstract

This study serves as a pilot study for a larger future study. The purpose of this pilot study was to find a relationship between programming skill and CGPA of CS graduates. Ten ICT managers of ICT firms were interviewed and 802 CS graduates’ school records, from Rangsit University in Thailand were collected and analyzed. This pilot study reports the finding from both interviews and analysis of school records, detailing the critical skill-programming skill- of CS graduates, desirable in employment ICT workers. The results revealed that programming skill of CS graduates is today less than their academic performance. Consequently, ICT firms fail to fulfill the hopes of them. Finally, CS academic setting was discussed and proposed the roles of 3-levels-CS department chair, lecturers, and students-, playing to improve CS graduates’ programming skill. Therefore, knowledge, ability and skill of CS graduates would meet ICT firms’ requirements for future CS career development
