Outcome-Based Education (OBE)

The implementation of Outcome-Based Education (OBE) is under the ordinance of the Ministry of Higher Education Malaysia and the Board of Engineers Malaysia (BEM). It is an international approach to teaching and learning that centers on what graduates are expected to achieve upon graduation. The curriculum is designed with specific Learning Outcomes (LOs) to prepare the graduates with the Programme Outcomes (POs). The POs are structured to equip graduates with the necessary skills and knowledge to successfully attain the Programme Educational Objectives (PEOs) within 3 to 5 years after graduation. The PEOs are as follows:

1. Graduates who advance in career and professional standing nationally or internationally based on leadership and/or technical expertise on the related Engineering Programmes and fields

2. Graduates who demonstrate moral and professional commitment for the betterment of society

3. Graduates who engage in entrepreneurial activities that apply engineering knowledge and technical skills

4. Graduates who engage in lifelong learning through postgraduate education and/or continuous professional development
