Outcome-Based Education (OBE)

Outcome-Based Education (OBE) is an educational process that is focused on achieving certain specified outcomes and student-centered learning. The implementation of OBE at SMMRE covers all aspects of OBE, namely:

  • Planning
  • Implementation
  • Assessments / Evaluations
  • Continual Quality Improvement (CQI)

SMMRE has always strive to deliver quality education, providing conducive environment and resources to ensure all students could learn, practice and equipped themselves ready to embark on exciting career upon graduation. 

The OBE model measures the progress of students in three parameters, through:

Program Educational Objectives (PEO) and Program Outcomes (PO) – Our programs have specified 3 PEOs that students should achieve 3 to 5 years after graduation. The PEOs are properly aligned with the Vision and Mission of USM and SMMRE, and with the POs. It is the combination of courses, co-curricular and extracurricular activities that are designed, delivered and assessed following structured alignment aimed to achieve the intended outcomes (POs) and PEOs. Implementation of OBE ensures all our graduates to be sufficiently equipped with knowledge, technical and soft skills necessary to perform well in their career.

Course Outcomes (CO) – it is the measurable parameter that evaluates each student’s performance and learning process throughout the program. Course outcomes are statements that describe significant and essential learning that learners must achieve and can steadfastly demonstrate at the end of a course. Course outcomes are aligned to the intended POs for the subject, ensuring all POs set for the program are achieved at the end of the program duration. The delivery and assessment for the course are also designed based on proper Bloom taxonomy levels to ensure compatibility and suitability with students’ learning ability.
