OBE @ KOE

What is Outcome Based Education (OBE)?

Outcome-Based Education (OBE) had been implemented in the Kulliyyah of Engineering, in accordance with the directives of the Ministry of Higher Education Malaysia and the Board of Engineers Malaysia (BEM).

This is also one of the requirements for Malaysia to become a full member of the Washington Accord (WA), an international agreement to mutually recognize Bachelor degrees in the field of engineering.

OBE is an internationally practiced educational model that focuses on the measurement of student outcomes and the implementation of corrective measures to overcome challenges in the achievements of learning and program outcomes.

Curriculum is designed with specific learning outcomes (LOs) to prepare the graduates to achieve the graduate attributes / programme outcomes (POs) at the point of graduation.

The POs are designed to produce graduates who are well-prepared to achieve the programme educational objectives (PEOs) 3 – 5 years after they have graduated. The PEOs and POs had been formulated in consultation with all major stakeholders (employers, alumni and students), to meet the demands of a challenging and globalized workplace.
