AB  - This study investigates the predictors of Supervisory Input Support (SIS) for effective supervision.
This element is analyzed for the practical implementation of effective supervisory practice for students in
technology and engineering education. There are reports regarding supervision issue during their final
year project supervision which requires a great and informative input from their supervisors. A sample
of 360 students completed survey including measures of Management Input, Interpersonal Input, Academic
Input, Project Input and Technical and Innovation Input. The sample was selected through stratified random
sampling. All factor loading were set to be >0.6. An exploratory analysis was conducted and Structural Equation
Modeling (SEM) was employed to investigate the Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) for SIS. The Goodness
of Fit (GOT) was in good condition and the final model is proposed. This study introduces the elements that
mounting the function of SIS. This study clarifies that the supports needed by students are different from one
to another. If the supervisor could cater these challenges by providing effective inputs, the supervision process
may enhance the supervision activity.
