i. Provide general information on the IHL and on the specific programme and attach the
IHL academic calendar.

A. History and Background of Polytechnic

Polytechnic education commenced in Malaysia with the establishment of Ungku Omar
Polytechnic, Ipoh in 1969 under United Nations Development Plan. The need to provide wider
access to technical education and training for the country was given prominence by the Cabinet
Committee on Education in 1979 and in the First National Industrial Plan (1985-1995). In addition
to decisions made by these committees, the Cabinet Committee on Training (1991) paved the way
for the significant development in Polytechnic education. As a result, there was a significant
growth in the number of Polytechnics with the ability to offer more programmes to cater to the
requirements of semi-professional personnel in the engineering, commerce and service sectors.

The Department of Polytechnic Education (DPE), Ministry of Higher Education Malaysia (MoHE) is
tasked to formulate policies and set the direction of all the polytechnics under its purview. DPE
develops strategic plan, manages, monitors and evaluates all education programmes offered at all
of its institutions. In terms of governance and management, polytechnic system is a centralised
system in which policies and decisions are developed and agreed upon at the central office (DPE)
with input and feedbacks from all institutions and major stakeholders. Hence, being a very large
organisation with a total current enrolment of 100,663 students, 7872 academic staff and 2517
supporting staff, DPE and polytechnics organisational structure and its quality management
system need to be very orderly to define the hierarchy within its organization as each job,
function and reporting mechanism is clearly identified towards ensuring the success of each
operation and process attains its stipulated vision and mission and allowed for future growth.

B. History and Background of PSIS

PSIS is the 17th polytechnic and built over Sg Lang, Sungai Tawar, Selangor with a total

C PEO consistency with vision and mission of the IHL/faculty and stakeholders

requirements.
One of the key elements required in the implementation of OBE is the Programme
Educational Objectives (PEO). PEO is a set of goals or targets that illustrates the expectations of
graduates in their career after several years after graduation. This goal must be in line with the
vision and mission of the academic institution, and consider the stakeholder's needs related to the
program.
The PEO of the DEP programme has been developed to be coordinated with DFE Vision
and Mission, as well as stakeholder needs. PEO is a statement describing the expected
achievement of graduates in their career and professional life within 3 to 5 years after graduation.

DIPLOMA IN ELECTRONIC ENGINEERING (COMMUNICATION) PSIS 28

The relationship between the relationship between the vision, mission and PEO missions is shown

The PEO is determined by combining the vision and mission of the Department of
Polytechnic Education (DPE) and the expectations of stakeholders. The stakeholders in the
program are as follows:

1. Ministry of Higher Education (MOHE) - Governance that defines the nation's education
and development policies.

DIPLOMA IN ELECTRONIC ENGINEERING (COMMUNICATION) PSIS 29

2. Students - Students are expected to become technically competent and experienced in
technical terms.

3. Lecturers - A group of employees who is directly involved in the teaching and learning
process for electrical engineering programs.

4. Alumni - A group of alumni expects continually high quality educational programs at IHL
because their reputation can be seen in their own quality of education. These individuals
are very successful and bring insights from various industries and academics.

5. Industry / Employer - This group expects competent and technical productive graduates
to have good skills in communication, teamwork and leadership, as well as high ethical
values of social and environmental awareness.

All stakeholders have been involved through various participation in the PEO
development and review process. Stakeholder participation is done through meetings,
workshops, surveys or other forums to ensure that program objectives are consistent with DPE
vision and mission.

PEO is developed by the Curriculum Development Committee (CDC), appointed by DPE.
The same committee sets out program results, guidelines and syllabus. This curriculum is
approved by the Polytechnic Curriculum Board, appointed by the Minister of Higher Education
pursuant to the Education Act 1996 (Act 550).

C1-4 Describe the processes used to establish the Programme Educational Objectives (PEOs),
and the extent to which the programme’s various stakeholders are involved in these
processes.

D Processes used to Establish PEOs

The polytechnics in Malaysia are centrally managed by the Department of
Polytechnic Education (DPE) under the Ministry of Higher Education Malaysia. This
includes the development of the curriculum of all programmes offered by the
polytechnics. The curriculum development process is done under the supervision of the
Curriculum Development Division (CDD) of DPE. Figure C1-4A shows the curriculum
development process employed by the CDD.

Figure C1-4A : Flowchart of Curriculum Development Process in Polytechnics

The PEOs and Programme Learning Outcomes (PLOs) are initially formulated by
the CDD with reference to guidelines produced by the Malaysian Qualification Agency
(MQA), while the academic curriculum is developed by the Curriculum Development
Committee (CDC), a committee set up by CDD for each programme. The committee
usually comprises lectures from the polytechnics, experts from other institutions of higher
learning (IHLs) and also representatives from the relevant industries.

The PEOs, PLOs and the academic curriculum of a programme are then
represented to two other committees namely the Curriculum Advisory Committee (CAC)
and the Polytechnic Curriculum Board (PCB) for verification. The members of CAC are
appointed by the CDD which comprises another group of experts from IHLs and
representatives from the relevant industries. The PCB is the highest body set up by the
ministry for the approval of any curriculum before it is implemented. Its members
comprises of top management of DPE, representatives of professional bodies and
academicians from private and public IHLs. A sample list of the members of the CDC, CAC
and the PCB are available in (Appendix C1-4A, Appendix C1-4B and Appendix C1-4C)
respectively.

DIPLOMA IN ELECTRONIC ENGINEERING (COMMUNICATION) PSIS 31

C1-5 Describe the process for the periodic review and revision of these Programme
Educational Objectives.

E Processes for Periodic Review and Revision of PEOs
The OBE approach was first introduced in the polytechnic education system in

June 2010. The first cohort of students graduated in June 2013, however until they are in
the third year of job market, there has not been any formal evaluation done on PEO
attainment. However some early work on developing the instruments for the evaluation
process was initiated by the CDD in 2012. The instruments were developed to seek
feedbacks from three groups of stakeholders namely the;
i. Employers
ii. Alumni/Graduates
iii. Parents

Since 2015 the CDD has started working on developing new instruments to be
used in the PEO evaluation process which is targeted to be deployed in 2017. The initiative
started with the identification of an expert from National University of Malaysia (UKM) to
guide CDD in the process. The stakeholders that would be involved in the survey are the
alumni and employers. This is in line with the target to getting feedbacks from the
polytechnic alumni in their third or fourth year after graduation. The evaluation result is
expected to be used as an input for the curriculum review process by the CDD which is
planned for 2017. The revised PEOs will then go through the same verification steps
mentioned in C1-4A during the curriculum review process of the programme. The new
curriculum will be available for implementation by Disember 2018.

Prior to 2010, the curriculum adopted the requirement of National Accreditation
Board of Malaysia, which is not OBE based. Starting from June 2010, with Malaysia
Qualification Framework adopting the OBE based approach; DPE initiated the first attempt
on developing its own OBE framework based on MQA requirements. The initial curriculum
design was finalised in June 2011 and was fully compliant with all requirement of MQA
standard programme. However, comparing MQA requirements and ETAC requirements,
there are several inadequacies observed. From framework point of view, ETAC generally is
more process centric while MQA is more availability centric. As such, among the major
inadequacies when moving from MQA to ETAC are the inability to demonstrate a
formalised process of review, revision and improvement.

Moving forward, with polytechnic officially adopting the ETAC framework for its
curriculum, a formalized process of review, revision and improvement has been
established and is shown in Figure C1-5A.

Figure C1-5A : Flowcharts of periodic review and revised of PEO

Based on Figure C1-5A, process of review and revised PEO required two types of
stakeholder feedback which are stakeholder initiated input and alumni attainment assessment.
Stakeholder initiated input occurs when there is a need for change triggered by any of the major
stakeholder. Major stakeholders are defined as Ministry of Higher Education (MOHE), industry and
others. Changes in PEO that generally could be triggered by major stakeholder are changes in
government policy, changes in mission and/or vision, changes in industrial requirements or
changes in future directions of industry. Alumni attainment assessment occurs after three to five
years of graduation which evaluation of the PEO achievement. This assessment is based on cohort
of each polytechnic. The analysis for both inputs will determine the changes of PEO. The CDC and
CDD are responsible in review and revised the PEO. Feedback from stakeholder such as industry,
professional bodies, alumni and lecturer is needed to verify the revised PEO through survey,
meeting and other relevant method. CDC used revised PEO in CQI process to improve the old
curriculum document. The endorsement of revised PEO with new curriculum is by PCB which
stated in C1-4. Approval of new curriculum document will be circulated to polytechnics and upload
through CIDOS for implementation. Table C1-5A shows the draft of relation between PEO missions
