Planning Extracurricular Activities Based on Student Outcomes

Abstract

The research aimed to study student outcomes in seven areas according to ABET, for use in planning extracurricular activities. This study used data from 35 students who passed three Computer Engineering Project courses – Project Seminar I, Project Seminar II, and Capstone Computer Engineering Project – during the academic year 2022 – 2023. The indicators of student performance were determined by the course instructor. The results were analyzed using descriptive statistics, revealing that the learning outcomes of the students could be divided into two groups: hard skills (SO.1, SO.2, SO.6, and SO.7) and soft skills (SO.3, SO.4, and SO.5). The lowest student outcome is SO.3: communication skills, with average score of 82.48 percent. In constrast, the highest student outcome is SO.4: professional ethic skills, with average score of 93.72 percent. Based on the above information, extracurricular activities have been organized to enhance communication skills, resulting in average score increasing from 81.27 percent in the 2022 academic year to 85.00 percent in the 2023 academic year. Therefore, it can be concluded that information on student outcomes can be used to plan extracurricular activities, which in turn helps to improve students outcomes.
