1. Outcome Based Education (OBE)
1
1. Clarity of focus
This principle means that everything teachers do must be clearly
focused on what they want learners to ultimately be able to do
successfully. Thus, when teachers plan and teach they should focus on
helping learners to develop the knowledge, skills and dispositions that
will enable them, ultimately, to achieve significant outcomes that have
been clearly expressed. This principle obligates teachers to make both
their short-term and long-term intentions for student learning clear to
the learners at every stage of the teaching process. It also obligates
teachers to focus all student assessment on clearly defined significant
outcomes.
2. Designing back
This principle is inextricably linked to the first principle. It means that
the starting point for all curriculum design must be a clear
definition of the significant learning that students are to achieve
by the end of their formal education. All instructional decisions are
then made by tracing back from this “desired end result” and identifying
the “building blocks” of learning that students must achieve in order to
eventually reach the long-term outcomes. This does not mean that
curriculum design is a simple linear process, but it does mean that all
planning, teaching and assessment decisions should be linked
directly to the significant outcomes that students are ultimately
to achieve.
3. High expectations
This principle posits that teachers must establish high, challenging
standards of performance in order to encourage students to
engage deeply with the issues about which they are learning.
Helping students to achieve high standards is linked very closely with
2
the idea that successful learning promotes more successful
learning (Spady, 1994). When students experience success, it
reinforces their learning, builds their confidence and encourages them
to accept further learning challenges. One of the most important
reasons for using OBE is that it can help all learners to do difficult things
well. Intellectual quality is not something reserved for a few learners: it
is something that should be expected of all learners, and this is the link
to the fourth principle.
4. Expanded opportunities:
The fourth principle means that teachers must strive to provide
expanded opportunities for all learners. This principle is based on
the idea that not all learners can learn the same thing in the same way
and in the same time (Spady, 1994). However, most students can
achieve high standards if they are given appropriate
opportunities—what really matters is that students learn the things
that are important: not that they learn them in a particular way or by
some arbitrary point in time. It is obvious that traditional ways of
organising educational institutions do not make it easy for teachers to
provide expanded opportunities for all learners. However, the practical
difficulties of providing expanded opportunities must be weighed against
the long-term benefits of enabling all learners to be successful.
From these principles, it should be clear that OBE is not an “event” but
a total approach to education, and it is this total approach that forms one of
the attractions of OBE.

recognized by the other bodies as having met the academic requirements for
entry to the practice of engineering.
In addition to the EAC requirement, all engineering undergraduate
curriculum also need to comply with the requirement of:
• Malaysian Qualifications Framework of Malaysian Qualifications Agency
(MQA)
• Sector of Higher Education, Ministry of Education Malaysia
5
Quoted from www.washingtonaccord.org (2013):
Professional Engineers are able to perform functions because of their:
i. Knowledge,
ii. Skills, and
iii. Attitudes
Competence is developed by
i. Education,
ii. Training, and
iii. Experience
The Washington Accord Agreement recognises that:
"Accreditation of engineering academic programmes is a key foundation for
the practice of engineering at the professional level in each of the countries
or territories covered by the Accord."
The Washington Accord demands two major efforts among its member:
1. Improvement of procedures, documentation, criteria.
2. Genuine shift towards OBE in Malaysian Engineering Education
System.
As a result, the EAC has fully adopted OBE approaches in its accreditation
criteria. All engineering programmes accredited after 2009 will have to be
based on OBE. Two commonly used terms by the BEM;

Engineers Malaysia (BEM).

curriculum and its intended outcomes, the teaching methods used, the
assessment tasks - are aligned to each other. All are tuned to learning
activities that address the desired learning outcomes.
CA has two aspects. The first aspect, the ‘constructive aspect’ is rooted
in the constructivist theory of learning and refers to the idea that students
construct meaning through relevant learning activities. That is,
meaning is not something passively imparted or transmitted from teacher to
learner, but is something learners actively have to create or construct for
themselves. Learning is therefore about meaning making. Teaching is simply
a catalyst for learning. To quote Shuell, (1986, p.429);
The second aspect, the ‘alignment’ aspect, refers to what the teacher
does, which is to set up a learning environment that supports the
learning activities appropriate to achieving the desired learning
outcomes. The key is that the components in the teaching system, especially
the teaching methods used and the assessment tasks, are aligned with the
intended learning outcomes. The learner is in a sense 'trapped', and finds it
difficult to escape without learning what he or she is intended to learn.
Figure 3 shows the relationship between the three components of
constructive alignment.

CONSTRUCTIVE ALIGNMENT

1. The intentions of the teacher expressed as learning outcomes (what the
teacher intends the students will be able to do because of their learning).
2. The teaching and learning activities in which the teacher engages the
students to facilitate the desired learning.
3. The assessment tasks that test the student abilities in respect of the
learning outcomes.
10
Cognitive Domain
The revised Bloom’s Taxonomy for cognitive processes and its appropriate
actions verbs are summarised in Table 1. Action verbs are indicator of the
cognitive level but not necessarily guarantees the intended learning outcome
as the context has to be taken into account as well. The cognitive domain
reflects the intellectual level of the learning outcome, that is, it describes what
the students can do with what they have learned.
Psychomotor Domain
The psychomotor domain (Simpson, 1972) includes physical movement,
coordination, and use of the motor-skill areas. Development of these skills
requires practice and is measured in terms of speed, precision, distance,
procedures, or techniques in execution. The seven major categories are listed
in Table 2 from the simplest behaviour to the most complex.
Affective Domain
The Affective domain addresses interests, attitudes, opinions, appreciations,
values and emotional sets as listed in Table 3. This domain includes the
manner in which we deal with the things emotionally, such as feelings, values,
appreciation, enthusiasms, motivations and attitudes.

2. PEO, PLO and CLO
The first stage of OBE requires FKEE to formulate the objectives and outcomes
of the two engineering programmes. These are the Programme Educational
Objectives (PEO), Programme Learning Outcomes (PLO) and Course Learning
Outcomes (CLO). PEOs are broad statements that describe the career and
professional accomplishments that the programme is preparing graduates to
achieve and are measured 3 to 5 years after graduation. PEOs are formulated
based on inputs from various stake holders. PLOs are graduates attributes
that students shall attain after completing the programme and are based on
the graduate attributes that is expected of an engineering graduate as
required by the Washington Accord. The PLOs are supported by the CLOs, the
competency level expected of the student after completing an engineering
course. The alignment of PEO, PLO and CLO is shown in Figure 4.

2.3 Formulation of PLO
PLO are the knowledge, skills, and attitudes graduates should be able
to demonstrate at the time of graduation (i.e. upon completion of a
programme). The PLO for BEV and BEJ are constructed based on the
requirement set forth by the BEM in the Engineering Accreditation Council
(EAC) Accreditation Manual. The most recent Accreditation Manual was
released in September 2017 and is based on the graduate attributes required
by the Washington Accord (WA) as stated in the International Engineering
Alliance (IEA) Graduate Attributes and Professional Competencies document.
In addition, the PLOs for both programmes take into account the
requirement of other authorities such as, Institution of Engineers Malaysia
(IEM), Malaysian Qualification Agency (MQA) and Ministry of Education (MOE).
Furthermore, inputs from other stakeholders such as External Examiner,
Adjunct Professors, Visiting Professor/Lecturer, alumni and Faculty’s Industrial
Advisory Panel (IAP) are also consulted in establishing and reviewing the
programme outcomes.
The PLO for BEV is shown in Table 6 whilst the PLO for BEJ is shown in
Table 7.

2.4 Formulation of CLO
Course Learning Outcomes (CLOs), also known as course outcomes (COs) are
statements indicating the knowledge, skills, and attitudes/predispositions a
student should be able to demonstrate upon completion of a course. In
addition, the CLO also indicates the level of mastery that is expected from the
student as well as the direct relationship between the CLO and the PLO. As
such, student attainment of the PLO can be directly measured by assessing
the attainment of CLO.
A course normally have between 3 to 5 outcomes which covers the 3
learning domains (i.e cognitive, psychomotor and affective domain), but there
are courses that covers more than 5 outcomes such as Industrial Training,
Design Course and Final Year Project. This is due to the fact that these courses
are suppose to integrate all knowledge, skills and attitude accumulated during
the course of the study.
A CLO should have three main components which are:
1. Verb – indicates the level of mastery and the learning domain. The
verb should clearly communicates the skill that learner should be able
to perform.
2. Condition – indicates the specific condition(s) the student should be
able to demonstrate. The condition helps in specifying the resources
needed and control the complexity of the task.
3. Standard/ criteria – defines acceptable performances where
appropriate.
26
2.4 Delivery of CLO
On the other hand, the tools of indirect assessment techniques are as follows:
i. Industrial Training
28
ii. Industrial Advisors
iii. External Examiner
iv. Student Exit Survey
v. Alumni Survey
vi. Employer Survey
29
assess the attainment of graduates, and periodically reassesses and updates
of the objectives.
Although elements of this process are continuous in nature and will vary
among programmes, each programme has responsibility to assure a
documented cycle of activity such that PEOs, as well as their linkage to PLOs,
are re-evaluated at least every three years. Recognizing that different
constituents may have competing needs and expectations, each programme
will have a process in place to resolve potential conflicts while fulfilling as
many of the needs as practically as possible.
The PEOs of FKEE programmes can be assessed by using the following
assessment tools:
i. Report and minute of meeting with Industrial Advisors Panel
ii. Report and minute of meeting with External Examiner
iii. Alumni survey
iv. Employer survey
The alumni’s and employer’s survey contained five areas which defining
the PEOs. The five areas are: (1) Career, (2) Competency, (3) Competitive,
(4) Life-long Learning, and (5) Contribution. Data gathered through these
surveys will be accumulated and used as one key input to the PEOs as well as
the PLOs.
In summary, the PEOs assessment process and methods is shown in
Figure 8. In the figure, PEOs are assessed using only indirect methods. At the
moment, data on the achievement of the PEOs for both BEV and BEJ
programmes are being gathered for the first time for evaluation.

3.4 Assessment of CLO
Course learning outcomes (CLOs) are statements that describe
significant and essential learning that learners have achieved, and can reliably
demonstrate at the end of a course. This means learning outcomes identify
what the learner will know and be able to do by the end of a course.
Course learning outcomes should be measureable and observable via
cognitive, psychomotor and affective learning domains. In other words,
course learning outcomes should reflect essential knowledge, skills and
attitudes and finally, represent the minimum performances that must be
achieved to successfully complete a course. CLOs are also used in the
determination of PLO attainment. Results may imply needed change in
contents, CLO, curriculum or the PLOs. Figure 10 shows some suggestions for
the appropriate inputs for CLO assessment

33
Constructive alignment requires the instrument used for assessment to
match the type of CLO being assessed. For example, examination type
assessment is suitable for assessing cognitive domain, demonstration is more
suitable for psychomotor domain and observation of student attitude reflects
their affective value. In addition to the type of assessments, it is also
important that the assessment instrument used allows assessment according
to the level of mastery (taxonomy) expected.
On-going course learning outcomes assessment, with a balance of direct
and indirect assessment techniques will be the responsibility of the
departments and programmes. It is the responsibility of the lecturer for each
course to maintain a detailed course syllabus which carefully delineates both
the content and PLOs addressed by the course. The syllabus should also
contain course objectives, taxonomy levels, instructional techniques and
evaluation methods.
The CLO assessment is continuous starting from the first week until the
last week of lecture. The course learning outcome assessment is divided into
2 parts: after test 1 (week 7) and after final examination (week 14). At the
end of the course learning process and assessment, all the lecturers must do
the course evaluation in order to analyse the student achievement in terms of
PLO and Taxonomy Level.
The CLOs of FKEE course can be assessed by using the following but not
limited to, assessment tools:
a. Direct assessment
i. Quizzes
ii. Tests
iii. Final Examination
iv. Assignments
v. Projects
vi. Final Year Project
vii. Lab Experiments
34
viii. PBL/ POPBL
b. Indirect assessment
i. Rubric Matrix (Psychomotor and Affective)
ii. Peer-assessment
Assessment plan for all courses shall be explained to the student at the
beginning of the course. Each assessment instrument shall indicate the CLO
being address and the percentage of marks that is allocated for each
assessment. Table 8 shows an example of assessment plan for a particular
course. This plan shall be transferred into the Student Assessment System
(SAS) for the purpose of assessment management. A screenshot of the
Assessment Management in SAS is shown in Figure 11.
35
Figure 11 Screenshot of the Assessment Management in the SAS system.
36
Figure 12: Table of Specification Template and Example
37
After the test and final examination are implemented, the student
achievement evaluation is conducted in order to assess and to analyse the
achievement of CLO for CQI purposes. Figure 13 shows the template of
student achievement evaluation that can be retrieved form Online Student
Assessment System (SAS) at http://tcis.uthm.edu.my
Evaluation process allows a detailed study of the assessment and later would
enable identification of actions that need to be taken to improve the delivery
and assessment process. This process, sometime known as Continual Quality
Improvement (CQI) would help identifying problem and solution to any
weakness as well as further improve the quality of the programme.
39
Graduates’ attainments of POs are assessed throughout the course of the
study, and the results are accumulated towards the final attainment for each
of the POs. A student should attained minimum of 40% average mark for each
of the PLO to be considered as having minimum competency. In addition, KPI
targets are set for individual student The followings are the KPI targets
adopted by the programme:
(a) Individual
i. PLO attainment KPI for each course – 55% marks
ii. Cumulative average PLO attainment (each semester) – 55% marks
(b) Cohort
i. Course’s PLOs KPI (average) – 55% marks
ii. Cumulative average of Graduates PLO attainment– 60% marks
The CLOs attainment that uses direct and indirect measurement tools are
collected from the Student Assessment System (SAS) and Outcome Based
Education System (OBESys). The respective lecturer can do the analysis for
determining the achievement of related CLO. The analysis results will then
determine the appropriate actions for CQI. Appendix C.1 describes the CQI
process of CLO.
At course level, FKEE has decided to have 3 CQI forms for monitoring
purpose which are:
i. CQI-planning
For courses that have been offered before, the CQI planning is
done before the semester starts. It involves discussion between the
newly appointed and previous lecturers. Discussion is focused on how
40
to improve the course delivery and student’s performance, based on the
achievement of the previous semester. The HoD responsible for the
course will endorse outcome of the discussion.
41
4.4 CQI for PEO
The measurement of PEOs is conducted through survey on alumni and their
employers for at least three to five years after their graduation. The analysis
results will then determine the appropriate actions for CQI. Appendix C.3
describes the CQI process of PEO.
