Outcomes Based Education
• OBE is education based on producing particular educational outcomes that:

 Focus on what students can actually do after they are taught.
 Expect all learners / students to successfully achieve particular (sometimes minimum) level of knowledge
and abilities.
• It’s NOT what We want to teach.

• It’s WHAT You should learn.

Aims of this Module
• Contribute to the achievement of the learning outcomes specified for the student’s award at
Degree level 1.
• Introduce the study of Mathematics for computing students.
• Meet the prerequisite requirements of modules at degree level 2 of study
• Introduce students to the knowledge, skills and techniques substance to the study of
Mathematics for computing students.
