PROGRAMME SYNOPSIS


               Bachelor of Civil Engineering

               Civil  Engineering  programme  is  related  to  the  human  activities  and  our  nature  that
               include  structures  and  building  construction,  bridge  engineering,  highway,  railway
               construction, airport, hydraulics works and many more.

               OUTCOMES-BASED EDUCATION (OBE)

               Outcome-Based  Education  (OBE)  had  been  implemented  in  the  Faculty  of  Engineering
               since 2004, in accordance with the directives of the Ministry of Higher Education and the
               Board of Engineers, Malaysia (BEM). This is also one of the requirements for Malaysia to
               become  a  full  member  of  the  Washington  Accord,  an  international  agreement  to
               mutually  recognize  Bachelor  degrees  in  engineering.  The  implementation  of  OBE,  as
               outlined below, is based on the guidelines prescribed by the Engineering Accreditation
               Council (EAC) of Malaysia.

               Unlike the traditional teacher-centered method, OBE is an educational approach that is
               more concerned about the outcome (what students can do) rather than the process (what
               instructors  did).  This  is  believed  to  enhance  learning,  and  hence  produce  better
               graduates. For OBE to be successful, it is critical to prescribe the expected outcomes, to
               measure the objectives, and to take corrective actions where required.

               The outcomes are prescribed at two levels:

                       Course Learning Outcomes (CLO) - what students should be able to perform at
                        the end of each course
                       Programme Outcomes (PO) - a composite set of abilities after students completed
                        all courses

               All COs will contribute to some of the POs. This is to ensure that upon completion of the
               courses, all POs are sufficiently covered.

               PROGRAMME EDUCATION OBJECTIVES (PEO)


                       Graduates  will  establish  themselves  as  practicing  professionals  in  Civil
                        Engineering or related fields.
                       Graduates  will  engage  in  lifelong  pursuit  of  knowledge  and  interdisciplinary
                        learning appropriate for industrial and academic careers.
                       Graduates  will  contribute  to  sustainable  development  and  the  well-being  of
                        society.
