An Approach on Student’s Performance and Skills in Implementing Theories to Conduct Lab Experiments

Student’s ability to express in terms of knowledge, skills and principles upon completion of course are one of the important aspects that contribute to Program Outcome (PO). Comprehensible articulation of course outcomes provides good foundation in evaluating the effectiveness of teaching and learning process. This paper will be presented on the evaluation of student’s performance outcome on lab experiment course which has been designed to support the theory studied in Electrical Machines and Drives (EMD) course. Students should prove theories that have been learned in EMD, examined the machine’s characteristics using approximate analytical methods and demonstrated basic practical testing techniques. Machines used in the experiments are the AC synchronous and induction machine, and DC machine whereby they will function as motors and generators. This experimentation done by selected Electrical Power students. The result shows the performance of student in implementing the theories that have been learned towards the lab experiments which are sufficient to analyse the results which achieve the PO requirements. © 2014 AESS Publications.
