Abstract

An emergency remote teaching can be either a success or a failure as students play a critical role in achieving successful learning.  When students don't comprehend the outcomes they need to reach at the end of the course, they won't be able to study effectively.  This study aimed to determine student’s perception of outcome-based education in engineering programmes, as well as their awareness and commitment towards their learning activities.  The quantitative data was collected through an online survey questionnaire from 382 undergraduate students of the Faculty of Electronic Engineering and Computer Engineering (FKEKK), Universiti Teknikal Malaysia Melaka.  To embrace the true spirit of outcome-based education (OBE), the faculty has conducted various OBE activities at the beginning of every semester.  The study confirms that OBE promotes self-regulated learning during emergency remote teaching.  In addition, PLOs attainment for two student cohorts who undergo different teaching and learning modes (physically & remotely) validated the findings.
