BEEE / BEPE ALUMNI SURVEY FORM 2013/2014

DEPARTMENT OF ELECTRONICS & COMMUNICATION ENGINEERING / ELECTRICAL POWER ENGINEERING

UNIVERSITI TENAGA NASIONAL

College of Engineering (COE) at Universiti Tenaga Nasional (UNITEN) is implementing Outcome-Based

Education (OBE) in its undergraduate programmes. Therefore, we require feedbacks from our alumni as one
of our stakeholders to gauge whether the programme offered is sufficient in preparing the students to be
competent engineers for their professional life upon graduation.

We are grateful if you could spare some time to complete this survey. On average, it should take you less than
5 minutes to complete this form. Your response will be very valuable for us to improve our graduate
employability in the future.
