is a sample of Performance Indicators for Program/ Student Outcome (a) indicated in
Section 6.1. Each HEI is expected to develop the Performance Indicators of each of
the Program/ Student Outcomes which is further aligned with the HEIs Objectives.

IV. Program Assessment and Evaluation

Program Assessment refers to one or more processes that identify, collect, and
prepare data to evaluate the attainment of Program Outcomes and Program
Educational Objectives.

In the case of Program Outcomes Assessment, the defined Performance Indicators

shall be connected to Key Courses (usually the Demonstrating or D courses in the
Curriculum map), and an appropriate Assessment Methods (AM) may be applied.
These methods may be direct or indirect depending on whether the demonstration of
learning was measured by actual observation and authentic work of the student or
through gathered opinions from the student or his peers. Refer to the sample table
below:

For the Assessment of Program Educational Objectives, the stakeholders of the

program have to be contacted through surveys or focus group discussion to obtain
feedback data on the extent of the achievement of the PEOs.

Program Evaluation pertains to one or more processes for interpreting the data and
evidence accumulated from the assessment. Evaluation determines the extent at
which the Program Outcomes and the Program Educational Objectives are achieved
by comparing actual achievement versus set targets and standards. Evaluation
results in decisions and actions regarding the continuous improvement of the
program. Refer to the sample table below:

Implementation Handbook for Outcomes-Based Education (OBE) and Institutional
Sustainability Assessment (ISA).

V. Continuous Quality Improvement

There must be a documented process for the assessment and evaluation of program
educational objectives and program outcomes.

The comparison of achieved performance indicators with declared targets or

standards of performance should serve as basis for the priority projects or programs
for improving the weak performance indicators. Such projects and programs shall be
documented as well as the results of its implementation. This regular cycle of
documentation of projects, programs for remediation and their successful
implementation shall serve as the evidence for Continuous Quality Improvement.

CURRICULUM
I. Curriculum Description

The BSECE curriculum is designed to develop engineers who have a background in

mathematics, natural, physical and allied sciences. As such, the curriculum contains
courses in mathematics, science and engineering fundamentals with emphasis on
the development of analytical and creative abilities. It also contains language
courses, social sciences and humanities. This is to ensure that the electronics
engineering graduate is articulate and is able to understand the nature of his/her
special role in society and the impact of his/her work on the progress of civilization.

The curriculum is designed to guarantee a certain breadth of knowledge of the

BSECE disciplines through a set of core courses. It ensures depth and focus in
certain disciplines through areas of specialization. It provides a recommended track
of electives that HEIs may adopt or develop. The curriculum develops the basic
engineering tools necessary to solve problems in the field of Electronics Engineering.
This enables the graduate to achieve success in a wide range of career.

Institutional electives are prescribed in order to give a certain degree of specialization

so that institutions of learning will develop strengths in areas where they already
have a certain degree of expertise.

Emphasis is given to the basic concepts. Previously identified courses are

strengthened to take into account new developments. New courses and/or topics are
introduced so that the students knowledge of the fundamentals may be enhanced.
This is to allow the student to achieve a degree of knowledge compatible with
international standards.

2.2 Program of Study

The institution may enrich the sample/model program of study depending on the
needs of the industry, provided that all prescribed courses required in the
curriculum outlines are offered and pre-requisites and co-requisites are complied
with.

The sample Program of Study listed below is meant for HEIs operating on a
Semestral System. HEIs with CHED approved trimester or quarter term systems
may adjust their courses and course specifications accordingly to fit their delivery
system, as long as the minimum requirements are still satisfied.

The HEIs are also encouraged to include other courses to fulfil their institutional
outcomes, as long as the total units for the whole program shall not exceed 240
units, including P.E., and NSTP.

Electronics Engineer

IV. Sample Curriculum Map

Refer to Annex II for the Minimum Program Outcomes and a Sample Curriculum
Map. The HEI may develop their own Curriculum Map.

V. Description of Outcomes Based Teaching and Learning

Outcomes-based teaching and learning (OBTL) is an approach where teaching and

learning activities are developed to support the learning outcomes (University of
Hong Kong, 2007). It is a student-centered approach for the delivery of educational
programs where the curriculum topics in a program and the courses contained in it
are expressed as the intended outcomes for students to learn. It is an approach in
which teachers facilitate and students find themselves actively engaged in their
learning.

Its primary focus is the clear statement of what students should be able to do after
taking a course, known as the Intended Learning Outcomes (ILOs). The ILOs
describe what the learners will be able to do when they have completed their course
or program. These are statements, written from the students' perspective, indicating
the level of understanding and performance they are expected to achieve as a result
of engaging in teaching and learning experience (Biggs and Tang, 2007). Once the
ILOs have been determined, the next step in OBTL is to design the Teaching /
Learning Activities (TLAs) which require students to actively participate in the
construction of their new knowledge and abilities. A TLA is any activity which
stimulates, encourages or facilitates learning of one or more intended learning
outcome. The final OBTL component is the Assessment Tasks (ATs), which measure
how well students can use their new abilities to solve real-world problems, design,
demonstrate creativity, and communicate effectively, among others. An AT can be
any method of assessing how well a set of ILO has been achieved.

A key component of a course design using OBTL is the constructive alignment of

ILOs, TLAs, and ATs. This design methodology requires the Intended Learning
Outcomes to be developed first, and then the Teaching / Learning Activities and

16
 Assessment Tasks are developed based on the ILOs. (Biggs, 1999).

Constructive refers to the idea that students construct meaning through relevant
learning activities; alignment refers to the situation when teaching and learning
activities, and assessment tasks, are aligned to the Intended Learning Outcomes by
using the verbs stipulated in the ILOs. Constructive alignment provides the how-to
by stating that the TLAs and the assessment tasks activate the same verbs as in the
ILOs. (Biggs and Tang, 1999)

The OBTL approach shall be reflected in the Course Syllabus to be implemented by

the faculty.

VI. Sample Syllabi for Selected Courses

The Course Syllabus must contain at least the following components:

6.1 General Course Information (Title, Description, Code, Credit Units,

Prerequisites)
6.2 Links to Program Outcomes
6.3 Course Outcomes
6.4 Course Outline (Including Unit Outcomes)
6.5 Teaching and Learning Activities
6.6 Assessment Methods
6.7 Final Grade Evaluation
6.8 Learning Resources
6.9 Course Policies and Standards
