University benchmarking, (Annex S1-2-2-1) and the development of evidence to support meeting a

specific standard or sub-standard (or not). Annual reports of performance indicators for the

Mechanical Engineering Department are analyzed and they also lead to ongoing support for
decision making and improvement processes (Annex S1-2-2-2). KPIs report was discussed and

approved by the Mechanical engineering department Council No. 3 (Annex S1-2-2-3). Based on the

results of the analysis of performance indicators, several reports are prepared. The PLOs reports
were also prepared at the program level by direct and indirect assessment. They also lead to

continuous decision-making support and improvement processes, (Annex S1-2-2-4). PLOs report

was discussed and approved by the Mechanical engineering department council No. 3 (Annex S1-

2-2-5). In course reports in Mechanical engineering program, the program management adopts

KPIs to measure the learning outcomes of the program’s courses, such as knowledge, skills, and
values, (Annex S1-2-2-6). Analysis of course reports were also prepared at the program level. They

also lead to continuous decision-making support and improvement processes, (Annex S1-2-2-7).

Analysis of course report was discussed and approved by the Mechanical engineering department
council No. 1 (Annex S1-2-2-8). Al-Baha University has designed a well-established platform,

www.jodah.org to calculate the results of the direct and indirect assessments of the Courses

Learning Outcomes (CLOs) and PLOs. This platform is mainly used in the Mechanical engineering

program to assess CLOs and PLOs assessment results. The professional advisory council was

established for the college of engineering, where the vision and mission of the college and the
characteristics of its graduates were discussed, the learning outcomes of the college of

engineering and the quality of graduates were discussed, and also feedback from employment

agencies, which helps in continuous decision-making support and improvement processes, (Annex
S1-2-2-9). Accordingly, faculty staff, students and employers participate in the planning, quality

assurance and decision-making processes by faculty and staff surveys (Annex S1-2-2-10), students

surveys (Annex S1-2-2-11), and employer surveys for students Al-Baha University graduates

(Annex S1-2-2-12). The results of the surveys are analyzed through the program KPIs report and

PLOs reports, and through these analyzes decisions are made. The program operational plan
(Annex S1-2-2-13) shows how improvements are planned. The program’s operational plan was

discussed and approved by the Mechanical engineering department council No. 5 (Annex S1-2-4-

14). The Scientific research committee also prepared a 5-year plan to develop various practical
