Allcourses in an Outcome-Based Educational model are designed to clearly show the experiencesthat students may draw upon to achieve a learning outcome3.The Zayed University OBE learning model1 is framed by three sets of Learning Outcomes two ofwhich are course embedded. In this paper, the focus is on the higher intellectual outcomes that arenot course embedded. They are called Zayed University Learning Outcomes (ZULOs). To fulfilltheir ZULO requirements, students compile evidence of their achievement in an electronicportfolio (e-portfolio), which is assessed by a faculty panel. A number of issues that are linked tothe use of the Outcome-Based Educational approach have been identified

to support a change inthe K-12 curriculum in Singapore. A student’s motivation to pursue an engineering course, aswell as the experiences gained by a student from their home, school, neighborhood, andwork, can be shaped by their K-12 education. Integrating engineering education into K-12education in Singapore allows students to be exposed to the field of engineering from ayounger age. The benefit of this is twofold: firstly, students can gain a better understanding ofengineering, how it is applied in the real world, and why it is important. Secondly, studentscan gain greater confidence in their engineering skills and knowledge, regardless of theirbackground. As many students at the pre-university level in Singapore may feel that

Overall, student feedback was very positive. More importantly, the numberof student complaints related to laboratory access was reduced to zero.If an institution considers, any type of distance learning extension, student ethics cannotbe overlooked.

While the Kolb cycle of Figure2 discusses the steps that an individual learner goes through, models such as Harre’s Vygotskycycle [12], Figure 3, integrate social aspects of learning. Here learners are explicitly assumed tobe interacting with other learners and the teacher as they go through various stages of learning.It is the social interaction and acceptance of others through which a learner comes to recognizethemselves as possessing knowledge which they can then pass on to others in turn.

The course currently contains experiments in fluidsand has the senior level course in Fluid Mechanics as its primary pre-requisite. Mechanical LabII was one of the first courses the author was assigned upon joining the faculty 20-some yearsago and he has continued to teach it, although not consistently every year, since that time. Ininitial offerings of the course, the author followed the traditional methodology that he had beenexposed to as an undergraduate: a fairly well prescribed experiment with clearly stated goals andprocedures that the students were expected to
