Good day! I am Nicole Kate B.

Maceda, a current 3rd Year BS Architecture student of

University of the Philippines Mindanao. I am conducting a research study with the title

BACHELOR OF SCIENCE IN ARCHITECTURE GRADUATES as one of the requirements
for our subject ARCH 175. The study aims to determine the feedback of employers on the

of the skills relevant in the architectural working environment.
