3 The process used for establishing and revising Programme Outcomes The revision process of the Programme Educational Objectives and Programme Outcomes is a continuous one. For example, it can be triggered by the results of surveys (Alumni survey, HKUSLEQ; Employer Survey), or by a change in HKIE s guidelines, or as suggested by any constituents and examiners. Once a revision is proposed, it will be presented to the relevant Advisory Committees in the Department/Faculty for consultations and discussions. Following the views and recommendations, the proposed revision will be forwarded to the Department/Faculty for further consideration and approval by the Faculty Board. The below table shows the process and the relevant committees in IMSE Department for establishing and revising Programme Outcomes and Educational Objectives. Group Programme Constituencies 1 Students (Undergraduate & Postgraduate) 2 Faculty Department Curriculum Review & Development / Teaching and Learning Quality Committee 3 Alumni; Employers, Internship Sponsors, Project Sponsors, Process for establishing and revising Programme Educational Objectives and Programme Outcomes Committee Process Staff-Student This Committee holds Consultative Committee meetings with student representatives at least once every semester to discuss matters related to the academic progress and the general welfare of all students in the Department. Opinions of students are consolidated and channelled through this committee to the Department. The Department's viewpoints are fed back through the IMSE Industrial Advisory Committees 3 committee to the students. Meeting at least once per semester to revise the programme outcomes for improvement based on assessment result, accreditation requirements, external examiner s report; SETL result and HKUSLEQ result, etc. Annual meeting to solicit advices and feedback* on graduate performance and industrial requirements for
