Mentor–Mentee Session Update: Welcoming Our Largest Intake Yet
This semester marks a major milestone for Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering (MAE) — with nearly 200 new students joining the Mechanical Engineering and Aerospace Engineering programmes, making it our highest intake so far.
Why this session matters
The Mentor–Mentee programme is designed to ensure every student has a clear support pathway throughout their academic journey. During the session, students were briefed on how mentors (the lecturers) and the Academic Advisors can help with:
- academic planning and study strategies
- understanding programme structure and expectations
- navigating university systems, policies, and student support services
- seeking advice early before small issues become major obstacles
OBE briefing: CLO • PLO • PEOs
Academic Advisors also took the opportunity to explain the importance of Outcome-Based Education (OBE) and how it connects what students learn in class to what they are expected to achieve upon graduation and beyond.
- CLO (Course Learning Outcomes): what you should be able to do by the end of a course
- PLO (Programme Learning Outcomes): the abilities you must demonstrate upon graduation
- PEOs (Programme Educational Objectives): what graduates are expected to achieve within 3–5 years after graduation
