Abstract
The paper studied the assessment practices in Engineering faculties in Nigerian Universities under the outcome based education system. The aim is to determine the quality and transformative nature of the assessment. Four research questions were used for the study. Ninety five (95) engineering lecturers from the Imo State University and the Federal University of Technology all in Owerri, were used for the study. Conscious effort was made to ensure that all disciplines available in the two institutions were represented. A questionnaire with a rating scale was used to obtain the data. The data were analysed using mean rating. It was found that the lecturers are aware of the demand of assessment under the OBE system and in fact, practice some of the strategies. However, the facilities are in short supply, especially electricity. The paper recommends among other things that proprietors of universities and other institutions of higher learning should endeavour to provide needed facilities.
