Information system engineering is a complex discipline which involves learning different skills, from both technical andorganizational point of view. At the Faculty of Technical Sciences, Novi Sad, the initial information system engineeringstudy program has been changed with the goal of improving knowledge quality of future engineers. The reformedinformation system engineering study program combines lessons and lectures, studying and usage of a world classinformation system, workshops and students practice in enterprises (internship). The work of the fifty newly employedengineers in five information technology companies has been assessed for the sake of exploring the benefits of the reformedstudy program. Half of them studied in accordance with the initial study program, while the other half studied according tothe reformed one. Data have been gathered via the questionnaire consisted of eleven questions, which tested the employer’ssatisfaction with their work. The answers have been statistically analysed and subjected to data mining techniques in orderto evaluate the improvement of the engineers’ skills. Three out of eleven questions are in correlation with the reformedstudy program. The given answers indicate that the engineers’ knowledge gained at this program is significantly better and,thus, put in better use within the company they work for.
