OUTCOME-BASED EDUCATION (OBE) Semester October 2020 – February 2021
1. REASONS FOR THIS BRIEFING •
All students should be briefed on Outcome-Based Education (OBE) implementation at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering (FEE).
•
Engineering Accreditation Council (EAC) is the council for evaluating the OBE practices for engineering degrees and accredits engineering programmes at . Institutes of Higher Learning (IHL) in Malaysia.
•
Students will be randomly selected by EAC for interview, to obtain feedback about the programme.
•
NO OBE NO ACCREDITATION.

2. MODULE OUTCOMES After completing the briefing, the student should be : •
able to describe the definition of OBE
•
able to describe the Programme Educational Objectives (PEOs), Programme . Outcomes (POs) and Course Outcome (COs)
•
able to describe the contributions as the student and alumni for the continuous improvement of the programme

3. WHAT IS OUTCOME-BASED EDUCATION (OBE)? • OBE is an educational process that focuses on what students can do or the qualities they should develop after they are taught. • OBE involves the restructuring of curriculum, assessment and reporting practices . in education to reflect the achievement of high order learning and mastery rather than accumulation of course credits. • Both structures and curricula are designed to achieve those capabilities or qualities. • It requires that the students demonstrate that they have learnt the required skills and content.

For each course, review the Course Outcomes (COs) (refer to course outline/lesson plan) at the beginning of each semester. This gives you an idea of the knowledge and skills expected from a particular course.
•
Be more proactive in the learning process to acquire the COs of subjects.
•
Demonstrate through the assessment methods that the required skills and knowledge have been acquired.
•
Attain the POs as a whole during the entire programme.
•
Give constructive feedbacks on the programme/course/academic staff to obtain accreditation through active participation in Entrance and Exit Survey (EES) in Ufuture UiTM, Students Feedback Online (SuFO), Academic Advisory System, dialog sessions with Dean/Deputy Dean, Industrial Advisory Panel (IAP)/External Examiner (EE) interviews and surveys. 16
