Comparative Analysis of Program Outcomes Achievement between Face-to-Face and Virtual Classes during COVID-19 Pandemic

Abstract

Outcome-based education is a paradigm shift from traditional knowledge-based education to modern skill-based education. After the Washington Accord, engineering education worldwide has adopted the new pedagogy for Engineering Education. But last year, after the hit of COVID - 19 pandemics, most of the education system has to move online. The online education platform raised a new challenge for Outcome-Based Education. In this paper, online education on the OBE-implemented B.Sc. in Electrical and Electronic Engineering (EEE) program has been analyzed. The attainment performance of the Program Outcomes has been presented. With this empirical evidence, careful implementation and encouragement of OBE can achieve its potential even with Online education. Students and Faculties of the B.Sc in EEE program have demonstrated that OBE can be effectively accomplished via an e-learning platform. © 2021 AIUB Office of Research and Publication.
