Measurement and Evaluation of Program Outcomes in the Civil Engineering Courses

AbstractOutcome Based Learning System (OBL) contains six programme objectives and 12 programme outcome (PO) that can be measured in some certain courses. Measurement and evaluation are important aspects in determining whether or not a programme outcome is achieved. Nevertheless, measurement is one of the hardest aspects to be done because there is no proper method or range that can be used. This paperwork contains the measurement of programme outcome as an implementation in Civil Engineering Programmes’ courses. Those courses are Computer Programming (KF1243), Engineering Measure (KH2243), Liquid Mechanic (KH2133), Design Project II (KH4253) and Academic Project II (KH4203). Aside from that, there is also a comparison made between the measurements of the programme outcome done by lecturers with ones from the perspective of final year students of 2005/2006 session. It is hoped that this implementation of measurement method will be used as reference by lecturers at the Engineering Faculty, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM) particularly, and in Malaysia generally
