Actively linking learning outcomes and competencies to course design and delivery: experiences from an undergraduate Information Systems program in Singapore

While numerous Engineering education programs seem to have learning outcomes or competencies defined, in many cases, those learning outcomes or competencies do not have any practical relevance for the course design and delivery lifecycle. This conference contribution reports on curriculum and course...
