Outcome-Based Education (OBE)



A set of Programme Outcomes are specified
It defines the attributes that the industry
expect the graduates to have attained upon
graduation.
OBE requires that the students demonstrate
that they have learnt the required skills and
content
Industrial Training




Part of EAC requirements for accreditation of
engineering programmes.
Employers will expect you to demonstrate a range of
practical skills and soft skills.
Therefore, students must know the required PO and
improve themselves accordingly.
ITP is one of the means for the University and the
Industry to measure the students’ achievement of the
POs.
Objective and learning outcomes

To expose the student to the industry and to receive practical
training under the supervision of qualified staff
 acquire and apply knowledge of engineering fundamentals
 acquire in-depth technical competence in the specific
engineering discipline during the industrial training
 demonstrate problem identification and solving skill
 apply the relevant references, guidelines and code of ethics
related to engineering practices
 apply systems approach to design and evaluate operational
performance
 apply interpersonal communication skill with technical
or/and non-technical staff in the work place
 work effectively as an individual or team player
 recognize the need to undertake life-long learning
Sustainable Development




Be aware of the current good practices of
electrical & electronic engineering for
sustainable development
Minimum impact to the environment
Minimize energy consumption
Minimize use of material and waste
Programme Objectives


Programme Outcomes describe the attributes
that the students are expected to attain at the
point of graduation.
Programme Objectives describe the career
and professional accomplishments that the
programme would prepares the graduates to
achieve in a few years after their graduation.
