The Senate at its meeting on 3 November 2009 approved to revise the Intended Learning Outcomes of the General Education programme. The revised Intended Learning Outcomes are:
Demonstrate the capacity for self-directed learning
Explain the basic methodologies and techniques of inquiry of the arts and humanities, social sciences, business, and science and technology
Demonstrate critical thinking skills
Interpret information and numerical data
Produce structured, well-organised, and fluent text
Demonstrate effective oral communication skills
Demonstrate an ability to work effectively in a team
Recognise important characteristics of their own culture(s) and at least one other culture, and their impact on global issues
Value ethical and socially responsible actions
GE courses will provide integrative and synoptic introduction to important knowledge and orienting conceptual frameworks in each of the broad areas including Arts and Humanities; Study of Societies, Social and Business Organisations; and Science and Technology. It will create an opportunity for students to get exposed to learning experience that counters the fragmentation of knowledge and large domain of material (ideas, principles, discoveries) that cut across departmental boundaries and specialisation.
The GE Programme is an integral part of the 4-year degree curriculum designed to produce Ideal Graduates for 2016 and beyond.
