Implementation of constructive alignment approach in Department of Electronic Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, Universiti Malaysia Sarawak

Abstract

Graduates attributes plays a significant role in determining career path of the students. These attributes are widely recognized by learning institutions, governments, industries, and accreditations bodies. Ensuring that the students will graduate within allocated time does not necessarily indicate that the students possess the elements required as a graduate engineering student. This study presents the implementation of constructive alignment in the Department of Electronics Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, Universiti Malaysia Sarawak (UNIMAS) in order to provide a tool to monitor students achievement and overall programme outcomes and at the same time as part of continual quality improvement processes. This approach is in line with the requirement of Engineering Accreditation Council (EAC) Malaysia to certify the quality of our graduating students.
