Evaluation of the Engineering Graphics Course Outcomes using Multi-Choice Questions

The Engineering Graphic Course (KF1173) is the faculty's mandatory course in the Faculty of Engineering in Universiti Kebangsaaan Malaysia (UKM) that must be taken by all first year students. The Outcome-based Education (OBE) has been implemented in this course during the second semester in the 2005/2006 session and is evaluated based on the Program Outcomes (PO). The Course Outcomes (CO) of this course is proposed to embrace the selected POs. In order to achieve the POs, the course is comprised with laboratory work (computer software application of AutoCAD), projects according to respective departments and examinations (quizzes, mid-terms, and final examination). In this course, the COs under the cognitive main domain can be assessed by Multi-choice Questions (MCQ). Hence, this paper presents the analysis of Multiple-Choice Questions (MCQ) of final examination paper to evaluate student competency and their fundamental knowledge by introducing the level of difficulty for every question considered as difficult, intermediate or simple questions.
