− Analysis and Interpretation: An ability to conduct investigations of complex mechanical
problems by methods that include appropriate experiments, analysis and interpretation of
data and synthesis of information in order to reach valid conclusions.
− Competency to Solve Engineering Problems: Ability to solve engineering problems to meet
the expectations of employers using principles, tools and practices then pursue leadership
positions in their profession and/or communities (Annex S2-2-2-1 Program Specification,
page 17).
The benefits of used the model of curriculum can be summarized as follow:
− To reduce the factual overload in the curriculum by introducing core course which contain
the essential required learning for the electrical engineering student and option or
selective courses which the student select by himself to pursue more learning in depth.
− To adopt active learning methods such as group discussions, problem-solving, field
activities & projects, practical & skills training, keeping the lecture to a maximum of two
lectures / day.
− To encourage students to develop their self- and independent learning and problem-
solving skills in preparation for their life-long continuing education and education beyond
the electrical engineering program.
− To introduce the study of behavioral sciences, engineering ethics and Islamic ethics and
laws (Annex S2-2-2-2 MENG Program Study Plan 2020).
Curriculum content:
The contents covered in each course in the mechanical engineering program determine its
expected course learning outcomes (CLOs). The CLOs are used to identify the number of program
learning outcomes (PLOs) that are covered by the course. Each of the CLOs is associated with one
of the chosen PLOs. Thus, the PLO with a single CLO implies that this CLO statement may be
linked with that of the PLO. The capstone courses/projects are exceptions to the above-
mentioned mapping scheme and can have as many PLOs as needed; in fact, we mapped the
capstone courses to practically all PLOs.
