Electrical Engineering

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

Electrical Engineering is a profession that involves the conceptualization, development, design and application of safe, healthy, ethical, economical and sustainable generation, transmission, distribution and utilization of electrical energy for the benefit of society and the environment through the knowledge of mathematics, physical sciences, information technology and other allied sciences, gained by study, research and practice.

Electrical Engineering is one of the broader fields of the engineering disciplines both in terms of the range of problems that fall within its purview and in the range of knowledge required to solve these problems.

OUTCOME-BASED EDUCATION (OBE) FRAMEWORK

The Outcome-Based Education (OBE) approach is characterized by a continuous and cyclical learning process, spanning four key steps:

(a)  Plan (Syllabus Writing/Review): In this phase, the Course Outcomes are meticulously aligned with the Program Educational Objectives (PEO), Program Outcomes (PO), and Graduate Attributes. The syllabi are designed to incorporate strategies for achieving these outcomes, forming a comprehensive learning plan. Additionally, the plan includes methodologies for measuring the outcomes through well-defined assessment tools.

(b)  Implement (Course Delivery): This step involves the actual execution of the learning plan and strategies outlined in the syllabi. Faculty members deliver the courses with a focus on producing the desired outcomes, employing various teaching and learning strategies.

(c)  Measure / Assess (Assessment): The assessment phase is crucial for evaluating the effectiveness of the learning strategies. The planned methods for measuring the learning outcomes and objectives are carried out, generating data that is then systematically collected and analyzed. This phase provides an opportunity to obtain valuable feedback on the educational process.

(d)  Respond / Improve (Continuous Quality Improvement): The final step revolves around determining necessary improvements based on the assessment results. This feedback-driven phase serves as the foundation for making changes to enhance the educational process continually. These changes may involve refining the learning plan, modifying strategies, or even revising outcomes and objectives. The improvements identified become the basis for the next cycle of the OBE process, ensuring an ongoing commitment to excellence.

PROGRAM EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES (PEO)

The Program Educational Objectives (PEO) of the Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering Program of Southern Leyte State University are statements that describe the career and professional accomplishments of the BSEE graduates after about five years from graduation.

The following are the PEO’s of the BSEE program:
