Outcomes-based education (OBE) focuses on defining explicit learning outcomes that should result from instruction. According to William Spady, OBE means organizing education around what students should be able to do successfully at the end of their learning experiences. The four basic principles of OBE are clarity of focus, designing curriculum backwards from long-term goals, high expectations for all students, and expanded opportunities for students to achieve outcomes. Implementation of OBE involves understanding the overall goals, setting objectives and outcomes, mapping the curriculum, delivering outcome-based courses, and continuous quality improvement.

3.  Educational Outcome - is a culminating
demonstration of learning (Spady, 1993).
 Outcomes- are clear learning results that
we want students to demonstrate at the
end of significant learning experiences,
and are actions and performances that
embody and reflect learner competence in
using content, information, ideas, and tools
successfully (Spady, 1994)

11. 5 Stages of OBE Implementation
1.Understand the Big Picture
 the Why?
 to produce graduates whom are ready for
industry's demand globally
 to meet global level of quality assurance

12. 2. Setting Objectives and Outcomes
 Formulate Aims, PEO, PLO
 Identify Domains and Taxonomies
(Depth)

13. 3. Mapping of Outcomes

14. 4. Delivery of OBE Courses
 Student Learning Time (SLT)
 Plan and Implement Strategies
 Assessment of Courses
- Assignment/Projects
- Test/Examination
(TOS)

15. 5. Continuous Quality Improvement
 Closing the inner loop
 Closing the outer loop
