Abstract: This study evaluated the performances of the candidate engineers of the College of Engineering (COE) of the Tarlac State University (TSU) in the licensure examinations. The results of the four-year licensure examinations of the graduates of the COE with specialization in the fields of civil, electrical, electronics, and mechanical engineering were covered in this study. The research methods used in the study were descriptive and analytical approaches. The subjects of the study were the TSU College of Engineering graduates with specialization in civil, electrical, electronics and mechanical engineering.They took the board examination during the same year or not more than one year from the time of their graduation. Candidates who took the board examination more than once and/or beyond one year from the date of their graduation were not included in this study. For ethical consideration, all necessary procedures in acquiring the board examination results were strictly adhered to by the researchers. Likewise, the names and board examination results of the subjects of this study were treated with utmost confidentiality to protect their interest. The total numbers of first time takers for the licensure examinations in engineering specializing in civil, electrical, electronics and mechanical engineering were 100, 106, 108, and 44 respectively. The statistical methods used in this study were the descriptive and inferential statistics. The analysis of variance was used to determine the variation among the four-year licensure examination performances of the candidate engineers in the fields of civil, electrical, electronics, and mechanical engineering. The study revealed that there was no significant difference among the four-year licensure examination performances of both the civil and mechanical engineer candidates. In contrast, the electrical and electronics engineer candidates’ performances significantly differed within the evaluation period. Key Words: Candidate Engineer, Licensure Examination Performance, Evaluation of Licensure Performance Policy
