Evaluation Process Dimensions to the Diploma in Mechatronics Engineering

This study was conducted to determine the evaluation of the assessment process dimensions for the Diploma in Mechatronic Engineering. Focus of the study was the program elements (E-DEM program) dimension of the dominant processes. A total of 238 respondents have been participated, who was from Diploma in Mechatronic Engineering student at the Polytechnic Ibrahim Sultan (PIS), Ungku Omar Polytechnic (PUO), Merlimau Polytechnic and Polytechnic Sultan Mizan Zainal Abidin. The data was analysed by using descriptive method of Rasch model in Winsteps V36.5 software. The findings show that all elements of the program (E-DEM) in specified process dimensions has been agreed by the respondents that polytechnic students are in top level on the implementation of Mechatronic Engineering Diploma Program. The assessment process elements (E-MED program) is the dominant method of evaluation to measure the mean value and mean score of -0.88 / 4.28. Overall, according from researcher's opinion, most of polytechnic students agreed that the level of implementation of program elements (E-DEM) in the evaluation process are high and satisfactory. This result referred from dominant elements which is the method of assessment, teaching and learning process. However, elements of the use of facilities and equipment for teaching and learning at an unsatisfactory level. The institutions need to improvise and enhance the quality of facilities and infrastructure for students. The goal is to achieve more conducive of teaching and learning quality and improve students’ creativity.
