Abstract： Quantity Surveyors （QS） form part of the consultant team in a construction project as they are always referred as the cost engineer. With higher demand of more sophisticated structures to be built in a quicker way， the need of QS in the construction industry is increasing so that clients are aware of the cost incurred for their projects. Today， holding an academic degree has become a pre-requisite for many jobs including the QS profession. There are a few universities， both public and private in Malaysia have been offering the quantity surveying course to students. However， there are concerns from the construction industry on the performance of the graduates. A number of reports stated that the industry view QS as individuals who fail to challenge established thinking and they add nothing to the construction process cum lack of interpersonal skills and uncooperative. Therefore， it is apt to investigate the performance of quantity surveying graduates in Malaysia. The paper aims to understand the level of competencies of the graduates and the expectations of employers towards fresh graduates who work with them. Findings revealed that the level of performance of the graduates are moderate and the employers expect the graduates to possess a higher level of competency in their attributes than knowledge.

摘要：造价工程师（QS）常被称为成本工程师，是工程项目顾问团队的一员。在面临以更快捷的方式构建更复杂的结构这一情况下，为使客户更加了解项目所需成本，建筑业对造价工程师的需求日益迫切。如今，获得学位已成为申请包括造价工程师职位在内的许多工作岗位的首要要求。马来西亚的几所公立和私立大学为学生开设了工程造价课程，但是，建筑行业仍对毕业生的工作表现存有一定担忧。多份报告显示，建筑行业认为造价工程师无法打破传统观念，不能为施工过程注入新鲜血液，同时缺乏人际交往技巧和合作精神。因此，在马来西亚通常会对工程造价专业毕业生的工作表现进行调查。本文旨在了解毕业生的工作能力水平以及业主对与其共事的应届毕业生的期望。调查结果表明，毕业生的工作表现呈中等水平；而与知识水平相比，业主希望毕业生在品质方面有更好的表现。
