Abstract
Based on the national scale of engineering graduate surveys conducted in 2003, 2005, 2007, and 2009 by Peking University, this work provides a statistic comparative analysis and quantitative study on employment results and job search process for the engineering graduates in China, as well as on the development trends with the massification of China higher education. Policy suggestion is raised based on these empirical results.
