Kulliyyah of Engineering is
receiving Engineering
Accreditation Council (EAC)
Panel members on
9 & 10 April 2014
Why ?
They are here to accredit all
our engineering programme

Why Need Accreditation?

Your degree will be recognized by the Malaysian government.
EAC is a member of The Washington Accord (WA), which
means your degree is also recognized by all signatories of WA
(such as UK, Australia, Canada, Japan, USA, Singapore).
This will enable you for possible employment in those
countries !
It is also an acknowledgment that our degrees have high
quality and the holder of the degrees have already attained
required level of knowledge, skill and maturity of thought
related to the relevant engineering discipline.
Graduates can subsequently become a Professional Engineer
(Ir.).

Are you involved on 9 & 10

April 2014 ?
YES , Students will be randomly
selected by EAC panel members
for interview, to obtain feedback
about the programme.
The following slides will give you some idea
about
OBE, PO and PEO

&
Programme Educational
Objectives (PEO) :
Kulliyyah of Engineering, IIUM

What are PO and PEO ?

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. These relate to the skills, knowledge,
and behaviour that students acquire through the
programme.
Programme Objectives (PEOs) are specific goals
consistent with the mission and vision of the IHL, are
responsive to the expressed interest of programme
stakeholders, and describe the expected
achievements of graduates in their career and
professional life a few years after graduation.

What are the POs of KOE ?

The program learning outcomes are grouped into 5 general areas to identify the
nature of the skills and capability involved. These groups are:

Technical (T) essential capabilities related to traditional scientific and engineering knowledge

Analysis (A) creatively working with available data and engineering tools and fundamental
knowledge to correctly solve basic problem

Design (D) being able to perceive the best solution for both small scale and large scale project
by involving all required basic problems

Ethics, Safety, Society and Environment (ESSE) - giving appropriate consideration to matters
pertaining to professionalism and ethics, safety, local and global society and the environment

Work skills (S) being and effective communicator and effective member of a team and to
appreciate the need to continuously acquired skills and abilities

KOES CURRENT PROGRAM OUTCOMES (PO) :

Students graduated from the Kulliyyah of Engineering programmes should have the ability to:
1. Acquire and apply knowledge of mathematics, computers, science, and engineering. (T)
2. Have in-depth understanding and technical competency in relevant engineering discipline. (T)
3. Identify, formulate and provide solutions to engineering problems. (T)
4. Design and conduct experiments, as well as to analyse and interpret data. (D)
5. Analyse and design a system, component, or process to achieve the required objectives. (A)
6. Apply design principles for sustainable development. (D)
7. Communicate effectively. (S)
8. Function effectively as an individual and in group with the capacity to be a leader or manager as well as
an effective team member. (S)
9. Recognize the need for lifelong learning and to pursue independent learning for professional
development. (S)
10. Understand the responsibility of a professional engineer in the context of contemporary social,
cultural, global and environmental issues. (ESSE)
11. Demonstrate understanding and commitment to professional and ethical responsibilities. (ESSE)
12. Understand the impact of engineering solutions in a global and societal context through broad-based
education. (ESSE)

Using first principles for complex engineering problems

Incorporating modern tools

proper consideration for public health and safety, culture, society

and environment

Multi-disciplinary settings

Islamic values

Entrepreneurship

design systems, components or processes that meet specified needs;
with appropriate consideration of cost, sustainability issues,
environmental impact, public health and safety, engineering
ethics as well as cultural and social needs
4.Investigation (D) - Conduct investigation on complex problems whilst
displaying creativity, by using research-based knowledge and
method, including design of experiments, analysis and
interpretation of data, and synthesis of information to provide valid
conclusions.
5.Modern Tool Usage (A & D) - Create and apply appropriate
techniques, resources and modern engineering/IT tools, which
includes making prediction and modelling of the complex engineering

7. Environment and Sustainability (ESSE) - Understand the impact of

professional engineering solutions in societal, global, and

and/or

Why we have POs ?

At KOE, we are practicing Outcome Based Education (OBE).
OBE emphasizes Student-Centered Learning (SCL).
In SCL the focus of teaching and learning is not what we teach but what we
would like our students to learn and how we can help them achieve
that.
Teaching and assessment at KOE are designed and implemented to align to
these outcomes.
We concern about what YOU LEARN !
We achieve this by having course learning outcomes (CLO) for all courses at
KOE. CLOs are mapped to Programme outcome.
Achievement of CLO is measured through course assessments.
Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI) is practiced at KOE to improve
achievement of CLO and PO.

Notes for Students

Know KOEs Programme Outcomes and Programme
Objectives.
For each course, know the Course Learning Outcomes. This
gives you an idea of the knowledge and skills expected from
a particular course.
Be more proactive in the learning process to acquire the
Learning Outcomes of subjects.
Demonstrate through the assessment methods that the
required skills and knowledge have been acquired.
Attain the Programme Outcomes and Programme Objectives
as a whole during the entire programme.
Give constructive feedbacks on the
programme/course/academic staff to obtain accreditation.
