We are pleased to announce the successful conclusion of our second internal meeting dedicated to “Developing OBE-Course Specifications” for the Water and Environmental Engineering (WEE) program. Held from February 17–18, 2026, this meeting marks a significant milestone in our journey toward enhancing academic quality under the Second Higher Education Improvement Project (HEIP2).
Meeting Highlights & Objectives:
Led by Dr. CHHUON Kong (Dean of the Faculty of Hydrology and Water Resources Engineering) and Dr. KET Pinnara (Vice-dean and the Head of the WEE Program), the session brought together 22 academic staff members. The primary focus was to collaboratively align Course Learning Outcomes (CLOs) with Program Learning Outcomes (PLOs) and modernize our curriculum to meet the evolving demands of the industry.

The two-day intensive workshop resulted in several critical outputs:

• Strengthened OBE Implementation: Faculty members improved the constructive alignment between teaching strategies, learning outcomes, and assessment methods.
• Curriculum Revision-Market-Driven Revisions: Based on detailed stakeholder and market need analysis, the wastewater operation specialization was updated to include more practical laboratory components and industry-relevant software skills. The new revision of the curriculum of WEE has been proposed to the international consortium in March 2026.
• Quality Assurance Readiness: Participants finalized draft course specifications and established a systematic framework for documentation in preparation for the 2027 Internal Quality Assurance (IQA) assessment.
• Collaborative Finalization: The team reached a consensus on a structured timeline for implementing these modernized specifications starting in the next academic cycle.

This meeting reaffirmed our faculty’s commitment to producing competent graduates capable of addressing Cambodia’s water and environmental challenges. By integrating continuous improvement (PDCA) cycles and student-centered learning, the WEE program remains at the forefront of engineering education excellence.
