ABSTRACT

This paper aims to analyze the achievement of course objectives in the "Electrical Engineering and Electronics" curriculum based on Outcomes-Based Education (OBE) principles and to explore strategies for continuous improvement. By clearly defining course objectives and designing corresponding assessment metrics, this study systematically examines student performance in knowledge acquisition, practical skills, and innovative thinking. The results indicate that students demonstrate a high level of proficiency in theoretical knowledge related to direct current (DC) circuit analysis and digital circuit analysis. However, there remains a significant deficiency in their application skills concerning alternating current (AC) circuit analysis and analog circuit design, particularly in areas that are challenging to simulate or experience practically. To address these shortcomings, this paper proposes a series of continuous improvement measures, including optimizing blended teaching methods, increasing practical project opportunities, implementing diversified assessment strategies, and enhancing interaction between instructors and students. Ultimately, this study provides actionable recommendations for curriculum reform based on OBE principles, aiming to contribute to the ongoing development of education in the field of electrical engineering and electronics.
