Outcome Based
Education (OBE)
System
OBE => Outcome Based Education
Outcome => Output => Result / Product =>
University Product => Performance of Graduates & Alumni
OBE is a process that involves assessment
and evaluation practices in education to
reflect the attainment of expected learning
and showing mastery in the program area.
Program => Civil Engineering
Students => Learning in a program
Graduates => Just passed the program
Alumni => Ex-students, now working
Accreditation & Mutual Recognition
Mutual Recognition Arrangements (MRA) for
Professional Services at 7th Summit of ASEAN Leaders
– free flow of professional services by 2020.
Washington Accord – quality assurance for
accreditation process of educational institution for
education of engineers.
Sydney Accord for engineering technologists.
Dublin Accord for technicians.

PLOs for individual student
=> Program Learning Outcomes
(Assessed from CLOs by exams, quizzes, etc)
CLOs => Course Learning Outcomes

9 PLO 9 Individual and Team Work
10 PLO 10 Communication
11 PLO 11 Project Mangement
12 PLO 12 Life Long Learning
Note: Each student has to achieve passing score in each PLO
Course Learning outcomes
•Course Learning Outcomes describe what a student should be capable of as a result of learning
experiences within a course
•To be determined by the course instructor (s)
•Mapping course learning outcomes to PLO to show learning experience meets the accreditation
criteria
•Each course may contribute to a list of PLOs, may contribute strongly to one or some PLOs and
less strongly to other PLOs
•When a course may contribute to several PLOs, usually only a subset of its strong outcomes need
to be used for assessment
