What is OBE?
Is a recurring education reform model. It frames itself as
a student-centred learning philosophy that focuses on
empirically measuring student performance, which are
called outcomes:
i. CLO -Course Learning Outcomes
(upon subject completion)
ii. PLO - Programme Learning Outcomes
(upon graduation)
iii. PEO -Programme Educational Objectives
(3-5 years after graduation)
2

i. CLO – e.g.: Demonstrate the ability to write
engineering reports.
ii. PLO – e.g.: Acquire knowledge of
mathematics, science and engineering
technology fundamentals in chemical and
process engineering technology.
iii. PEO – e.g.: To produce chemical engineering
technologist who are capable of embarking on
business and entrepreneurial activities.

Learning Outcomes
- as the guiding target
Degrees of Learning will be measured by the
knowledge gain:
Measurement : Direct + Indirect
i. Direct:
All types of documented assessment for each course
ii. Indirect:
All types of tools selected to indicate learning like
surveys, self rating item, third party observations.

A credit is the agreed-upon value
used to measure a student
workload in terms of learning time
required to complete course units,
resulting in learning outcomes’

Translating SLT for Bachelor Program
5 days per week for 18 weeks*
• Total Credit = 140 credit
• Translates to 140 X 40 hrs SLT = 5,6000 hrs SLT for a
4 years program
This translates to:
• 3920 hrs/3 year = 1400 hrs a year
• 700 hrs per semester
• 38.8 hrs a week
• 7.8 hrs a day from 24 hours
*18 weeks = 14 weeks of learning, 1
week for mid semester break, 1 week
for study week and 2 weeks for End of
Semester Examination

Translating SLT for Diploma Program
5 days per week for 18 weeks*
• Total Credit = 98 credit
• Translates to 98 X 40 hrs SLT = 3,920 hrs SLT for a
3 years program
This translates to:
• 3920 hrs/3 year = 1307 hrs a year
• 653.5 hrs per semester
• 36.3 hrs a week
• 7.26 hrs a day from 24 hours

How You Shall Manage Your
Academic Activities
Students will be responsible for meeting the many
levels of learning outcomes by:
• Adhering to notional Student Learning Time
• Actively engaging in all learning opportunities
(Face to Face and Self‐Learning)
• Being aware of academic requirements, rules and
regulations
• Being proactive in constructing knowledge from
multiple sources (print media, online media,
peers, lecturers, society, environment)
15

Student Assessment
Multiple Methods of Assessment:
• Continuous Assessment (CA): during the course
– Quiz, Test, Project, Assignment, Oral Presentation,
Performance, Lab Report or Soft Skills Enhancement
• Final Examination (FE) – written and taken at the end of a
course
• Percentage between CA and FE is assigned according to the
program/course.
• A pass indicates attainment of the course outcome.
• Excellence is indicated by an A score or 4.00 GPA
16

Students’ Responsibility
To know your CLO, PLO & PEO:
– What you will gain throughout your programme
– Characteristics that describe your ability at the point of graduation
– Description of your future employment
• To be well aware of your Program Structure
• To know that each course (subject) learning outcomes (CLO)
contributes to your overall success in the program
• To know that Student Learning Time (SLT) is a guiding
compass to manage your academic life
• To monitor your own learning through student
portfolios and seek guidance from Academic Advisor.
