Evaluation on the Effectiveness of Learning Outcomes from Students’ Perspectives

This paper discusses the effectiveness of learning outcomes from the students’ perspective on how they appreciate the existing learning outcomes through learning process. Comments from stakeholders such as graduate students who lacked basic knowledge and have difficulties in integrating knowledge learned or gained to solve engineering problems are highlighted. The survey was carried out on 185 engineering students selected from all years of study. Results from the analysis show that students’ perspective toward learning outcomes need to be reviewed. As a recommendation, the content of curriculum has to be revised by introducing new courses which integrate students’ knowledge and changing instructional method from surface approach to deep approach on teaching and learning.
