Programme Outcomes of EAC
In a recent posting, the Programme Outcomes which have been adopted in Manufacturing Engineering Programme were provided (see Programme Learning Outcomes for Manufacturing Engineering). We have all these outcomes same as Programme Outcomes of Kulliyyah of Engineering with the slight difference of Programme Outcome 3 referring to Manufacturing Engineering Field specifically. Engineering Accreditation Council (EAC) of Malaysia has 10 different Outcomes all of which are used in our Programme Outcomes (plus our own additional three). 10 Programme Outcomes for EAC are given below. Graduates from an accredited engineering programme should have the following attributes, capabilities, and outcomes:
- Ability to acquire and apply knowledge of science and engineering fundamentals;
- Ability to communicate effectively, not only with engineers but also with the community at large;
- In-depth technical competence in a specific engineering discipline;
- Ability to undertake problem identification, formulation and solution;
- Ability to utilise a systems approach to design and evaluate operational performance;
- Understanding of the principles of sustainable design and development;
- Understanding of professional and ethical responsibilities and commitment to them;
- Ability to function effectively as an individual and in a group with the capacity to be a leader or manager as well as an effective team member;
- Understanding of the social, cultural, global and environmental responsibilities of a professional engineer, and the need for sustainable development; and
- Expectation of the need to undertake lifelong learning, and possessing/acquiring the capacity to do so.

[…] as well as EAC Programme Outcomes coincide with the 11 Outcomes of ABET a-k Outcomes. These ABET Outcomes are found in Criteria 3 Document of official ABET document. * Outcome a: “an ability to applyknowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering” * Outcome b: “an ability to design and conduct experiments, as well as to analyze and interpret data” * Outcome c: “an ability to design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs within realistic constraints such as economic, environmental, social, political, ethical, health and safety, manufacturability, and sustainability” * Outcome d: “an ability to function on multi-disciplinary teams” * Outcome e: “an ability to identify, formulate, and solve engineering problems” * Outcome f: “an understanding of professional and ethical responsibility” * Outcome g: “an ability to communicate effectively” * Outcome h: “the broad education necessary to understand the impact of engineering solutions in a global, economic, environmental, and societal context” * Outcome i: “a recognition of the need for, and an ability to engage in life-long learning” * Outcome j: “a knowledge of contemporary issues” * Outcome k: “an ability to use the techniques, skills, and modern engineering tools necessary for engineering practice” […]
