OBE Briefing
Background
2
Washington Accord
• The Washington Accord, established in 1989, is an international accreditation agreement for professional engineering academic degrees, between the bodies responsible for accreditation in its signatory countries
› Australia, Canada, Hong Kong, Ireland, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, New Zealand, Singapore, South Africa, Taiwan, UK and USA
3
Washington Accord (cont.)
• The agreement recognizes that there is substantial equivalency of programmes accredited by those signatories
› Graduates of accredited programmes in any of the signatory countries are recognized by the other signatory countries as having met the academic requirements for entry to the practice of engineering
4
Engineering Accreditation Council
• All engineering degrees in Malaysia are accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Council (EAC)
• EAC consists of five stakeholders
› Board of Engineers Malaysia (BEM)
› The Institution of Engineers, Malaysia (IEM)
› Industry employers
› Malaysian Qualification Agency (MQA)
› Public Service Department (JPA)
5
Accreditation
• The objective of accreditation is to ensure that graduates of the accredited engineering programmes satisfy the minimum academic requirements for registration as a graduate engineer with BEM and for admission to graduate membership of IEM
› One of the requirements for accrediting an engineering programme is the implementation of the outcome-based education
6
Outcome-based Education (OBE)
7
Outcome-based Education
• Outcome-based Education (OBE) is a measurement of the effectiveness of a learning process by evaluating the outcome
• Focuses on student learning by: › Using statements to make explicit what the student is
expected to be able to know, understand or do; these statements should be do-able, observable and measurable
› Providing learning activities which will help the student to reach these outcomes
› Assessing the extent to which the student meets these outcomes through the use of assessment
8
OBE Mechanisms
Programme Educational Objectives
(PEOs) • PEOs address the
graduates’ attainment 5 years after graduation
Programme Outcomes
(POs) • POs describe what students are expected to know and be able to perform or attain by the time of graduation
Learning Outcomes
(LOs)
• LOs address the abilities to be attained by students upon completion of a subject
9
Programme Educational Objectives
• Programme Educational Objectives (PEOs) is a set of specific goals consistent with the faculty’s and university’s mission and vision, and describes the expected achievements of graduates in their career and professional life after graduation
• All the four undergraduate programmes have a common set of PEOs
10
PEOs (cont.)
• The 3 PEOs
› PEO1: Graduates who hold managerial or senior positions within their organizations
› PEO2: Graduates who demonstrate professionalism and a commitment to continual professional development
› PEO3: Graduates who are employed in engineering or related professions, or are enrolled in (or have graduated from) engineering or professional graduate school
11
Programme Outcomes
• Programme Outcomes (POs) are statements that describe what students are expected to know and be able to perform or attain by the time of graduation
• All the four undergraduate programmes have the same POs
12
Programme Outcomes (cont.)
• The 13 POs
› PO1: Acquire and apply knowledge of mathematics, science and engineering fundamentals
› PO2: Acquire technical competence in specialised areas of engineering discipline to solve complex engineering problems
› PO3: Identify and analyse complex engineering problems, and formulate solutions based on fundamental principles of science and engineering
13
Programme Outcomes (cont.)
• The 13 POs (cont.)
› PO4: Design solutions for complex engineering problems that meet specified needs with relevant considerations of their impacts in society
› PO5: Conduct investigation and research on complex engineering problems in the chosen field of study
› PO6: Create, select and apply appropriate techniques, resources, and modern engineering and IT tools to complex engineering activities
14
Programme Outcomes (cont.)
• The 13 POs (cont.)
› PO7: Demonstrate awareness of societal, safety and health, legal, and cultural issues relevant to professional engineering practice
› PO8: Understand the importance of sustainability and cost-effectiveness in design and development of professional engineering solutions, and their impacts in societal and environmental contexts
› PO9: Apply and commit to professional ethics and responsibilities of engineering practice
15
Programme Outcomes (cont.)
• The 13 POs (cont.)
› PO10: Communicate effectively in both oral and written contexts
› PO11: Function effectively as an individual, and as a member or leader in a team
› PO12: Recognise the need for, and acquire the ability to engage in self-improvement through continuous professional development and life-long learning
16
Programme Outcomes (cont.)
• The 13 POs (cont.)
› PO13: Demonstrate management, leadership and entrepreneurial skills, and apply these to one’s own work, as a member and leader in a team, to manage projects in multidisciplinary environments
17
Course Outcomes
• Learning Outcomes (LOs) or Course Outcomes (COs) address the abilities to be attained by students upon the completion of a subject
• A subject usually has several LOs and the LOs are different from one subject to another
18
Course Outcomes (cont.)
• EME1166 Materials Science
19
LO1-Describe the atomic structure and bonding of solids (cognitive-understanding, level 2)
LO2-Understand the crystal system structure, imperfections and diffusion mechanisms in solids (cognitive-
understanding, level 2)
LO3-Describe the various mechanisms on dislocations, strengthening and failure modes involved in the
properties of metals (cognitive-understanding, level 2)
LO4- Understand phase diagrams and phase transformations
(cognitive-understanding, level 2)
LO5- Understand the applications, fabrication and processing techniques of metal alloys
(cognitive-understanding, level 2)
Bloom’s Taxonomy
• Three domains of learning method
› Cognitive domain
Relates to the knowledge and the development of intellectual skills; includes the recall or recognition of specific facts, procedural patterns, and concepts
› Affective domain
Describes the way people react emotionally and their ability to feel another living thing’s pain or joy; typically targets the awareness and growth in attitudes, emotion, and feelings
› Psychomotor
Describes the ability to physically manipulate a tool or instrument; usually focuses on the development of skills
