Abstract
With the existing manual-based of outcome based education (OBE) systems, data complexity appears as the main problem to be solved. In this paper, a critical discussion of the manual-based system and a way forward with the online version of the OBE systems in the Faculty of Electrical and Electronic Engineering (FKEE), Universiti Tun Hussein Onn Malaysia (UTHM) have been discussed. Two assessment tools of programme learning outcomes (PLOs) as well as course learning outcomes (CLOs) have been used to measure and analyse manually both achievements of the PLOs and CLOs. However, results obtained have shown that these processes require a better system, to deal with various parameters such as different cohort of students and various courses. Obviously, the online-based version and further improvement of the manualbased system that have been proposed are expected to resolve these issues, hence it will be fruitful for the FKEEs’ OBE administrator.
Highlights
Outcome-Based Education (OBE) refers to an educational system that focuses on what the students are expected to be able to do within the specified period of learning
The paradigm shift to OBE in Malaysia is driven by the Quality Assurance Department at the Ministry of Higher Education, known as the Malaysia Quality Agency (MQA)
Undergraduate curriculum needs to be transformed into OBE in order to meet the requirements of both the Engineering Accreditation Council (EAC, 2012) and the Malaysian Qualification Framework introduced by the MQA (MQA, 2012)
Summary
Outcome-Based Education (OBE) refers to an educational system that focuses on what the students are expected to be able to do within the specified period of learning This requires having a clear set of essential knowledge and skills that students are expected to have learnt at the end of their learning experience and, organizing the curriculum, instruction, and assessment to make sure this learning happens. In this paper, the discussion is mainly focuses on direct evaluation/assessment tools that have been developed by FKEE OBE’s committee to measure the OBE performance for each programme in the faculty.
