The
CSU College of Engineering – Civil Engineering Outcomes-Based
Education (OBE) Framework
The
Outcome-Based Education (OBE) focuses on the educational system considering the
essential skills needed by the students to be successful at the end of their
learning experience. The Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering program
(BSChE) at the Cagayan State University – College of Engineering (CSU – COE)
set policies, standards, and guidelines based from the CMO 91, Series of 2017
which serves as the guiding principle in establishing the OBE framework.
As
shown in figure 1, the OBE framework is a continuous system that starts with
the collaboration of representative stakeholders in planning the curriculum. A constructive
alignment is done between the
set outcomes (institutional outcomes, program educational objectives,
and program and course outcomes) and learning activities
and assessment tools. The intended outcomes are established into the students
using different pedagogies that include problem-based and project-based
learning. The program outcomes (POs) are set to allow students to develop the
skills, knowledge and behavior until graduation. These POs are further applied
and exercised by the students in the chemical engineering field where they
attain the program educational objectives (PEOs). Each program had the course
as the basic component and its outcomes are evaluated and assessed to check if
it was consistent with the set outcomes. A continuous quality improvement is planned
and implemented based from the course results to change or adjust the program’s
curriculum in order to achieve the set outcomes.
The
Chemical Engineering program help prepare students who, after three to five
years of their professional career, will attain the following objectives:
Graduates of the Department of Chemical Engineering are expected to:
Apply knowledge of mathematics, physical sciences, engineering sciences to solve chemical engineering;
Design and conduct experiments as well as to analyze and interpret data;
Design a system, component or process to meet desired needs within realistic constraints in accordance with standards;
Work effectively in multi-disciplinary and multi-cultural teams;
Identify, formulate, and solve chemical engineering problems;
Practice professional and ethical responsibilities;
Communicate effectively in complex chemical engineering activities with the engineering community and with society at large;
Assess the impact of the chemical engineering solution in a global, economic, environment and societal context;
Recognize the need for and engage in life-long learning;
Demonstrate knowledge in contemporary issues;
Use the appropriate techniques, skills and modern engineering tools necessary for the practice of chemical engineering;
Apply engineering management principles as a member and leader in a team, to manage projects and in multidisciplinary environment;
Demonstrate knowledge in specified field of chemical engineering practice; and
Preserve and promote Filipino historical and cultural heritage based on RA 7722.
