must develop a rangeof personal attributes, such as social skills, decision-making, and problem-solving, which arecritical for success in their careers. These challenges raise questions about the effectivenessof undergraduate architecture programs in preparing students for the demands of theprofession. As the field evolves, it becomes increasingly important to ensure that studentsnot only excel in design but also acquire the skills necessary for managing projects andnavigating complex real-world situations [13], [14], [15], [16].In addition to professional skills, architecture students must cultivate academic abilities,which are interdisciplinary by nature [17]. While design remains a core focus, students mustalso develop a broad set of

more analytical perspective, AE studentsmust apply mechanics within the constraints of architectural design, safety regulations, andsustainability goals. Therefore, aligning OBA with these unique educational needs ensures thatAE students can bridge the gap between conceptual understanding and real-world application.Outcomes-based assessment (OBA) in higher education aims to enhance student learning,engagement, and teaching by focusing on developing key competencies, skills, and knowledgerelevant to future careers. It emphasizes outcomes and provides students with practicalexperience that prepares them to succeed in workplace environments. OBA focuses onevaluating whether students have achieved predetermined learning outcomes
