2. 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 (exam, report, project, training, etc.)

3. Programme Outcomes (EE/3E/EC/PH)  Possess the relevant skills  Able to apply the knowledge of mathematics, science or engineering  Able to identify, formulate, and solve technical problems  Able to design, conduct and analyze experiments  Able to design, develop and evaluate systems  Able to use technical software or tools  Write and communicate effectively  Function effectively as an individual and in a team  Committed to professional and ethical responsibilities  Aware of the cultural, social, global, and environmental impacts of engineering  Appreciate life-long learning and contemporary issues  Aware of sustainable development

4. 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 resources (materials and wastes)

5. 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.

6. Programme Objectives Programme Objectives of 3EProgramme Objectives of EC The graduates of Electrical and Electronic Engineering Programme will use the latest knowledge and techniques in developing, maintaining, servicing, sales and marketing, and research of electrical and electronics technologies The graduates of Electronic and Communication Engineering Programme will use the latest knowledge and techniques in design, developing, maintaining, servicing, sales and marketing, and research of electronic telecommunication and technologies The graduates will assume technical, managerial and ethical roles effectively in the organizations they work in. The graduates will be involved in the affairs of professional institutions and keep abreast of the nation’s needs and developments, and provide services to the engineering communities and the nation

7. 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.
