PROGRAM SPECIFICATIONS
I. Program Description

1.1 Degree Name:

Graduates of the program shall be given the degree of Bachelor of Science in

Mechanical Engineering (BSME)

1.2 Nature of the Field of Study

Mechanical Engineering is a profession that concerns itself with mechanical design,

energy conversion fuel and combustion technologies, heat transfer, materials, noise
control and acoustics, manufacturing processes, rail transportation, automatic
control, product safety and reliability, solar energy, and technological impacts to
society. Mechanical engineers study the behavior of materials when forces are
applied to them, such as the motion of solids, liquids, gases, and heating and
cooling of object and machines. Using these basic building blocks, engineers design
space vehicles, computers, power plants, intelligence machines and robots,
automobiles, trains, airplanes, furnaces, and air conditioners. Mechanical engineers
work on jet engine design, submarines, hot air balloons, textiles and new materials,
medical and hospital equipment, and refrigerators and other home appliances.
Anything that is mechanical or must interact with another machine or human being
is within the broad scope of today’s and tomorrow’s mechanical engineer.

IV. Description of Outcomes Based Teaching and Learning

Outcomes-based teaching and learning (OBTL) is an approach where teaching and

learning activities are developed to support the learning outcomes (University of Hong
Kong, 2007). It is a student-centered approach for the delivery of educational programs
where the curriculum topics in a program and the courses contained in it are expressed
as the intended outcomes for students to learn. It is an approach in which teachers
facilitate and students find themselves actively engaged in their learning.

Its primary focus is the clear statement of what students should be able to do after
taking a course, known as the Intended Learning Outcomes (ILOs). The ILOs describe
what the learners will be able to do when they have completed their course or program.
These are statements, written from the students' perspective, indicating the level of
understanding and performance they are expected to achieve as a result of engaging
in teaching and learning experience (Biggs and Tang, 2007). Once the ILOs have been
determined, the next step in OBTL is to design the Teaching / Learning Activities
(TLAs) which require students to actively participate in the construction of their new
knowledge and abilities. A TLA is any activity which stimulates, encourages or
facilitates learning of one or more intended learning outcome. The final OBTL
component is the Assessment Tasks (ATs), which measure how well students can use
their new abilities to solve real-world problems, design, demonstrate creativity, and
communicate effectively, among others. An AT can be any method of assessing how
well a set of ILO has been achieved.

A key component of a course design using OBTL is the constructive alignment of ILOs,
TLAs, and ATs. This design methodology requires the Intended Learning Outcomes to
be developed first, and then the Teaching / Learning Activities and Assessment Tasks
are developed based on the ILOs.¬ (Biggs, 1999).

“Constructive” refers to the idea that students construct meaning through relevant
learning activities; “alignment” refers to the situation when teaching and learning
activities, and assessment tasks, are aligned to the Intended Learning Outcomes by
using the verbs stipulated in the ILOs. Constructive alignment provides the “how-to” by
stating that the TLAs and the assessment tasks activate the same verbs as in the ILOs.
(Biggs and Tang, 1999)

The OBTL approach shall be reflected in the Course Syllabus to be implemented by

the faculty.
