Description
Summary:The pandemic due to Covid-19 in 2020 had a substantial impact on teaching and learning of educational courses, including lectures, labs, workshops, and assessments. In this study, Strength of Materials course was selected in analyzing the achievement of program and course outcomes during the pandemic. This course is a mechanical engineering core course for all students enrolling Diploma in Mechanical Engineering at Universiti Teknologi MARA, Penang Branch. Three course outcomes were mapped to three program outcomes respectively. The findings revealed that there were variations in the attainment of all course outcomes particularly the outcome related to higher cognitive domain. Therefore, it can be concluded that the pandemic has influenced the overall achievement of course and program outcomes in Strength of Materials course. © 2023 Penerbit UTM Press. All rights reserved.
