Abstract: The College of Engineering (COE) of Universiti Tenaga Nasional (UNITEN), Malaysia has implemented outcome-based education (OBE) in all its engineering programs since 2007 due to the requirement of accreditation body, the Malaysia Engineering Accreditation Council (EAC). Recently EAC has introduced new updates and consequently, COE has developed a new set of PEO (Program Educational Objectives) and PO (Program Outcomes) to fulfil this requirement. A new approach is used in coming up with these objectives and outcomes. This paper describes the process of developing the PEO and PO at college level and how stakeholders’ inputs are being taken into consideration in improving the outcomes. This paper also discusses on how these outcomes are trickled down and implemented at department level.
