PROGRAMME STANDARDS: ENGINEERING & ENGINEERING TECHNOLOGY
LEARNING OUTCOMES
“The quality of a programme is ultimately assessed by the ability of the learner to carry out their
expected roles and responsibilities in society. This requires the programme to have a clear
statement of the learning outcomes to be achieved by the learner" (COPPA, 2008, pp.11).
“These learning outcomes should cumulatively reflect the eight (8) domains of learning
outcomes, which are significant for Malaysia” (MQF, 2007, pp.4).
CERTIFICATE in Engineering/Engineering Technology

procedures and practices in specific fields;
ii. identify specific engineering problems in their discipline with respect to operation and
maintenance;
iii. assist in the investigations and design of solutions for specific engineering systems;
iv. demonstrate as awareness of societal, health, safety, legal and cultural issues and the
consequent responsibilities;
v. demonstrate communication and team skills;
