🎓 MAE Mentor–Mentee Programme

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
Key message: Reach out early. Your mentor is your first academic support point — use the channel actively, not only during emergencies.

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
Student takeaway: Your assessments aren’t “just marks” — they are evidence that you are achieving outcomes that matter for your future career and professionalism.
