A holistic approach to develop engineering programme outcomes: A case study of Taylor’s University

Part fulfilment of providing an engineering programme which implements
outcome based education includes various outcomes that are tied to what the
graduate should achieve after, during and before graduation. The programme
outcomes are specifically crafted to encapsulate attributes that must be attained by a student upon graduation. The following paper details the principles used to craft the programme outcomes of an engineering undergraduate degree programme. The principles used were chosen based its importance and innovative content as well as being aligned to the purpose of the university which is running the degree programme. Upon crafting the prescribed outcomes, the paper will also detail how stakeholders were engaged and how their opinion was accounted for in the final crafting of the new set of programme outcomes. The paper also highlights how a gap analysis was performed to capture areas which were not covered by the previous programme outcomes.
