Outcome Based Education

Begin with the end in mind

1
“The smartest among the human beings is the one who
remembers death often…” Prophet Muhammad S.A.W

What we want to achieve when we die?

When is the deadline to achieve?

2
 Following the wisdom, the engineering community all over the world has
recently employed what is called as

Outcome Based Education

It is a student-centered learning philosophy that focuses
on empirically measuring student performance, which are called outcomes.

Content based education focus on finishing delivering the content.

The issue is, lecturer have teach, but have student understand?
Outcome based education then focus on the outcome, that is whether student
actually achieved the intended capability that they should achieved

OBE promotes active learning

What is the outcome that we want?

Note: Economic Transformation Programme (ETP): A Roadmap for Malaysia.
Resulting from the results and targets of the 1,000-person workshop and 500-
person laboratories orchestrated by the Performance Management and Delivery
Unit (PEMANDU). Anounced by DS Najib on 25th October 2010

 Under the ETP, 131 Entry Point Projects (EPP) and and 60
Business Opportunities (BO) were planned, spanning across the
12 NKEAs.

The gist of the Program Educational Objective
(PEO) is to train excellent engineers that could
work for Malaysian and Global Market.
