Abstract

This study was aimed at measuring and comparing the effectiveness of two curricular structures in the Faculty of Electrical Engineering at the Technical University of Malaysia of Malacca (Universiti Teknikal Malaysia Melaka - UTeM). The comparison involved two programmes for a Bachelor of Engineering degree. One of them was a conventional academic programme and was offered to potential candidates as conventional electrical engineering (EE); and the other one was a broad programme referred to as BEKG. Data generated from students’ performances for the conventional EE and the BEKG programme were compared to assess how the EE curriculum is delivered at the University. The study targeted five categories of subjects, such as mathematics and basic science, laboratory, electrical, elective subjects and the final year project. The results indicate that the students’ mean performance in BEKG was better than that in the conventional EE across most of the categories. The outcome of this study could be useful to researchers and policymakers to improve EE curricula and teaching approaches.
