Programme Outcome Achievements of Chemical and Biochemical Engineering Graduates Through Exit Survey

Abstract

Teaching and learning processes for both programs (Chemical Engineering and Biochemical Engineering) offered at the Department of Chemical and Process Engineering (JKKP), Faculty of Engineering and Built Environment (FKAB), Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM) are based on the outcome-based education (OBE) since Session 2005/2006. The first batch of JKKP graduates who had completely undergone OBE graduated in April 2009. The department has taken initiative to conduct Graduate Friendly Event to celebrate future graduates at the end of every second semester for the fourth year students. Through this event, the questionnaires are distributed to students to obtain their feedbacks on the program implementation throughout their four years at the department and suggestions on program improvements as well as to assess the achievement of program outcomes (POs), which have been set by the two programs. The findings obtained from questionnaires of Session 2010/2011 graduates shows the JKKP graduates felt they had reached 60-80% of all 12 designated POs.
