<p>The purpose of this study is to quantitatively assess  Naval Academy graduates' perceptions of two aspects of their  undergraduate education as engineering majors: 1) the  extent to which their undergraduate education is relevant to  their current profession, and 2) their level of preparedness  as a result of their engineering education. The  Accreditation Board of Engineering and Technology (ABET)  identifies eleven 'student learning outcomes' that are  utilized as the basis for assessing relevance and  preparedness. Baseline data is established for engineering  graduates of the Naval Academy between the years of 1985 - 2005. In addition to the general analysis, graduates are  grouped for comparison and analysis according to status  (civilian and military), job type (technical and nontechnical)  and according to their particular undergraduate  majors. The results indicate high levels of both  applicability and preparedness for most of the eleven  skills. Recommendations for future engineering program  improvements are offered.
