ABOUT CED

civil eng. dept.

The Department of Civil Engineering is one of the
main departments in the Polytechnic of Malacca (PMK)
that plays a key role in providing engineering
knowledge to produce skilled and competitive
professional graduates. The teaching and learning
process is carried out in the form of theory and
practicality to ensure that students are exposed to the
world and the challenges of the real world.
The Department of Civil Engineering (CED) was led
by Mr Anuar bin Ismail as the Head of Department and
assisted by 29 staff members of academic staff and
technicians. Staff in the Department of Civil
Engineering (CED) also consist of professionals who
are recognized, trained and knowledgeable in line with
the goal of producing more quality graduates in
meeting the needs of the public and private sectors in
Malaysia.
DCE's continued efforts have been made by CED in
making this department one of the COT (Center of
Technology) which was formally declared in 2021, the
Center of Building Technology (COBTech) and
obtained '1 Star Rating'
that focused on IBS (Industrialized Building System).
Students are trained and exposed to daily activities
in the construction industry such as supervision of
construction sites, survey work, laboratory testing,
structural analysis and design, water supply,
environmental management and other related.

WHAT IS OUTCOME-
BASED EDUCATION?

Outcome-based education focuses on results rather

than learning processes.
Students are given clear objectives
and regular evaluations of progress,
and they receive personalized feedback on
how well they have achieved those goals.

Student Handbook DCE 2023

INTRODUCTION

A model of education where by

students demonstrate what they know
and are able to do whatever the
required outcomes are. The outcomes
are specified in terms of individual
student learning.

OBE emphasizes setting clear

standards for observable, measurable
outcomes through which students
performances can be measured.

An approach that focuses on students’

learning rather than teaching.

OBE is concerned with how students

demonstrate their learning (called
outcomes).

 THE RESPONSIBILITIES
OF STUDENTS
The students must be responsible for their own
learning process as much as the lecturers are
responsible for their teaching.

In OBE, the emphasis is on students’ responsibility in
