“…They have good competencies in general knowledge and learning ability. The competencies required by the industry ideally are similar to or close to the competencies owned by graduates [9][10][11][12]. This ideal must be gained so that graduates have no difficulty in finding work and adapting to the workplace.…”

In order to evaluate performance to increase the competitiveness and quality of universities, it is necessary to make efforts to determine the performance indicators of universities, one of which is the quantity and quality and relevance of graduates. This study aims to optimize the tracer study as an effort to improve the quality of education in the Department of Civil Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, Unesa. Tracer study is research on the situation of alumni, especially in terms of job search, work situations, and the use of competency acquisition while studying at the Department of Civil Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, Unesa. This research is planned for a period of one year 2022, with the target of alumni graduating in 2019 and 2020. The method used in this research is a descriptive method with a quantitative approach. Tracking is done by involving surveyors to move alumni to fill out questionnaires on the tracer study page directly from the university. The results of this tracer study are then analyzed for several components so that they can be used as input for majors in improving future performance. The results of this study vary widely on the competencies they feel are the best they have. For soft skills, ethics is the best competency possessed by alumni of the two study programs in the Civil Engineering Department. The best hard skills of the alumni's competencies are general knowledge for alumni of the Undergraduate Building Construction Education study program and internet skills for alumni of the Undergraduate Civil Engineering study program.

“…On the other hand, problem solving ability is one of the most important abilities in preparing future generations (Ismail et al, 2021;Wang, 2021). This capability is very important to achieve goals and its application in various industrial fields is very necessary (Aliu and Aigbavboa, 2021). The application of this ability also has an important impact in overcoming the challenges of living life in the 21st century (Szabo et al, 2020;Rahman, 2019).…”

This research aims to conduct a bibliometric analysis of literature related to problem-solving abilities in the context of physics learning. Through searching and analyzing relevant publications (articles, conference papers, reviews, and book chapters) using the Scopus database, research trends related to this topic were mapped. A total of 192 publications were obtained using Harzing's Publish or Perish application. Bibliometric analysis was carried out in this study. Search results from the Scopus database were extracted using VOSviewer software. The results of the analysis show that although there have been a number of studies conducted, problem-solving abilities in physics learning are still an interesting area for further research. There are great opportunities for further research involving the relationship between problem-solving abilities and various aspects, such as instrument development, STEM approaches, use of augmented reality technology, collaboration in problem solving, ability testing, student self-confidence, and learning materials. These findings show the importance of a deeper understanding of problem-solving abilities in the context of physics learning.

Entrepreneurial thinking is an indicator of individual excellence that is much-needed in facing the challenges of IR 4.0. Currently, there are many psychometric instruments to measure entrepreneurial thinking, however these are not suitable for measuring the thinking of entrepreneurs among matriculation students. Thus, Matriculation Entrepreneurial Thinking Scale (METS) was developed as a new psychometric instrument. Therefore, this study focuses on the aspects of METS psychometric testing based on Rasch analysis in the context of matriculation students. A total of 378 matriculation students for the 2020/2021 session from two matriculation colleges were selected using the multistage cluster sampling method. After being analyzed using Winstep 3.71 software based on the Rasch model, 55 out of the 66 METS items had satisfied the psychometric characteristics. Ten items were dropped, but five items which were negative statements were re-entered with corrections to positive statements. The strength of Rasch analysis on calibration scale was also reported to determine the suitability of the four-point Likert scale. It is recommended that further studies should examine the effects of re-inserting negative items after being converted to positive and looking at the GDIF aspects of METS items. Good METS items are expected to benefit the measurement of new traits among future matriculation students.
