1. INTRODUCTION

1.1 Programme Exit Survey (PES)

PES is a method of collecting information on the quality of diploma education from the perspective of graduating students upon the completion of their diploma programme. This report refers to an indirect measurement method by way of self-evaluation based on individual perception for the assessment of PLO. PLOs are the specific statements of graduates knowledge, skills and attitudes acquired at the end of the programme as evidence for the programme objectives achievements. This PES was conducted to assess the graduate students satisfaction and perceptions about various aspects of their academic experiences. 100% of the final semester students from the DKA programme had participated in the survey. The main objectives of this PES are to:

1) Determine the students perception in their attainment on the overall quality of learning and teaching in PKK;2) Determine the students self-assessment of knowledge, skills and soft skills achievement after going through the PLOs of the programme;3) Evaluate the students opinion towards contributions of Lecturer and Academic Advisor system implemented based on Outcome Based Education (OBE) approach;4) Evaluate the students opinion towards academic resources and facilities provided in PKK.

1.2 Programme Learning Outcomes (PLO)

OBE is an educational philosophy that believed that educational assessment should recognise and reflect progress made by individual students. PLOs are statements that describe what graduates are expected to know or be able to do on graduation. In the curriculum for DKA programme it has been specified that there are nine (9) PLOs to be acquired by the graduates upon graduation.

The nine PLOs are as follows:i. Apply knowledge of mathematics, science and engineering fundamentals to well defined civil engineering theories and procedures.ii. Use necessary skills and technique to conduct experiment and civil engineering practices.iii. Communicate effectively both in written and spoken form with other colleague and community.iv. Provide effective solution to civil engineering problems.v. Develop social responsibilities and humanistic values vi. Recognize the need and to engage in, lifelong learning and professional development.vii. Apply entrepreneurship skill for career development.viii. Adhere to professional codes of ethics to adapt in working environment.ix. Demonstrate effective leaderships skills and team work responsibilities

2. METHODOLOGY

This survey involved 46 DKA students from June 2013 semester. Students were asked to fill up the PES questionnaires which were posted online and 100% of them responded. The respondents were required to evaluate and rate themselves based on 5-Likert Scale indicated below:1 = Weak2 = Average3 = Good4 = Very Good5 = Excellent

Students satisfaction and acceptance level was determined from the scale. Excellent, Very Good and Good indication rate shows the students are satisfied with the item. While Average and Weak indication rate shows the item need some improvements and correction for the program.

This online survey was conducted on October 2013. The survey questionnaires were divided into five sections as follows: i. Section A: General Information ii. Section B: Overall Quality of Teaching and Learning iii. Section C: Skills and Knowledgeiv. Section D: Contributions of Lecturers and Academic Advisorsv. Section E: Academic Resources and FacilitiesThe data collected in this survey was processed through Statistical Product and Service Solutions (SPSS) software version IBM SPSS Statistics 19.0.

The questionnaires were based on students perception on teaching and learning in PKK, students response on skills and knowledge related to PLOs, students attainment on the soft skills, students rating for lecturers and academic advisors contribution, students opinion towards academic resources, overall services and facilities in PKK. This assessment strategy was aligned with the Curriculum Development Cycle - develop-implement-review as required by the MQA in order to improve the quality of programme.

3. RESULTSThe response from the students were analysed based on the following four criteria:i. Students response towards the Overall Qualityii. Students response on Skills and Knowledge iii. Students ratings for Lecturer and Academic Advisor contributions iv. Students opinion towards Academic Resources and Facilities

In Section C: (Skills and Knowledge) the statements have been classified under a particular PLO so that the data analysis can be done appropriately for accreditation purposes. The results can be used an indicator to show how well the students have acquired their skills and knowledge as required in the PLOs of the programme.

4. CONCLUSION

The results of the survey indicated high considerable for Overall Quality of teaching and learning since 100% students rated as excellent, very good and good measures of achievement for all the statements. Thus students were satisfied with the overall quality of teaching and learning in PKK.Over 97.8% of graduates agreed that they had achieved the PLOs of the programme. The data showed majority of students responded between excellent to very good scale in this Skills and Knowledge assessment. The rest of the graduates perceived and rated at least good scale for all PLOs (soft-skills and knowledge-skills) acquired by the graduates.Evaluation of the graduates opinions towards contributions of lecturers and academic advisors system implemented also showed that graduates were satisfied with the lecturers. Result showed that 97.8% of graduates rated very excellent, very good and good scale. This also supports the implementation of OBE in PKK which emphasized for student-centred learning especially during lecture and practical.Finally 85.6% graduates were satisfied with the academic resources and facilities provided. The most significant item that graduates were not satisfied with was the Wi-Fi internet access in PKK where 43.5% of them rated for average and weak. Insufficient Wi-Fi coverage around PKK was due to lack of Access Point (AP) installed.This exit survey was found to be an essential tool to help identify the areas needs to be improved in the quality of education as a whole in PKK especially for Diploma in Civil Engineering (DKA).

5. SUGGESTED IMPROVEMENTS FROM STUDENTS

Perlu penambahbaikkan yang lebih agar dapat bersaing dengan institusi-institusi pengajian yang lain.

...

menambahbaikan kemudahan di perpustakaan terutamanya penghawa dingin,kerana ketika semester akhir saya di politeknik iaitu june2013 keadaan penghawa dingin di perpustakaan tidak begitu memuaskan,keadaan perpustakaan yang panas tidak memberi keselesaan kepada pelajar untuk menggunakan perpustakaan walaupun kempen-kempen yang dianjurkan oleh pihak perpustakaan adalah sangat memberangsangkan.tQ

menggunakan bahasa inggeris setiap masa bagi menambahkan kemahiran dan pengetahuan pelajar

Tingkatkan lagi penerangan terhadap pelajar tentang pembelajaran.

perbanyakkan aktiviti pembelajaran "outdoor" bersama pelajar. kerana persekitaran yang baru boleh memberikan rasa yang berbeza. Disamping itu ikatan antara pensyarah dan pelajar menjadi lebih baik.

No komen..keseluruhannya bagus..^^

Library staff should take there rest alternating, not all at once.

PKK should provide drinkable water dispenser near class room.

Teruskan maju demi masa depan para graduan..

saya memberi cadangan supaya pihak politeknik menyediakan kemudahan Wifi bagi memudahkan pelajar mendapatkan maklumat pada bila-bila masa tanpa hanya bergantung dengan perpustakaan.

pihak politeknik boleh menghadkan laman yang tidak bercirikan ilmiah, contohnya Facebook dan sebagainya

Membuat penambahbaikan terutamanya terhadap keselesaan meja d bilik kuliah kejuruteraan awam dan menambah bilangan kerusi.

Keep It Up!

menyediakan peralatan yang lengkap di bengkel.

buku-buku sebagai rujukan di perpustakaan adalah kurang sesuai untuk dijadikan rujukan kepada pelajar politeknik. saya sebagai pelajar politeknik lebih senang merujuk kepada maklumat-maklumat yang terdapat di internet.

pada pendapat saya, saya lebih senang jika terdapat buku yang dapat dirujuk di perpustakaan.

Teruskan Latihan Industri Semester Akhir (LALI)! :)

membaik pulih semua kemudahan yang ada di politeknik, menaiktarafkan kemudahan yang sedia ada agar pelajar lebih selesa menjalani sesi kuliah atau pembelajaran.

TQ pkk...

some facilities or equipment needed to be improved to be used by student. P&P system need some improvement. Thank you.

sentiasa melakukan penambahbaikan dari semasa ke semasa.

wish PKK to have more good programme in the future, that can make better student and people.
