  • Abstract
    This research aims to investigate how successful are the students in achieving the intended learning outcomes in one of the electronic subject taught by the author, and how well they contribute to achieving the program outcomes set by the author´s campus. In this subject, three intended learning outcomes were set and were mapped to the four program outcomes dictated by the campus. The assessment tasks were laboratory work, mid semester test and a final exam. The results showed that the achievement levels attained by the students were 84%, 92% and 94% respectively for ILO1, ILO2 and ILO3 respectively. The results also showed achievement level of 94%, 88%, 94% and 92% respectively for PO1, PO2, PO3 and PO4. The outcomes of this research work proved a successful effort made by the author to align the learning activities and assessment tasks to the intended learning outcomes of the subject.
