This paper presents the main features of a study carried out by the higher education authority in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia for developing a practical framework for formulating and assessing learning outcomes in electrical engineering education. The proposed learning outcomes were based on a compilation of different international accreditation frameworks. The formulated learning outcomes were grouped into four learning areas: (1) engineering sciences, (2) engineering analysis and investigation, (3) engineering design and (4) engineering practice. The paper also presents the main elements of a proposed standardized exit exam to test the developed learning outcomes. A table of specification was constructed that maps the developed learning outcomes with the test questions distributed over various learning levels. It allows the transformation of the developed learning outcomes into balanced questions to be used in an exit exam. The paper also discusses the implications of the proposed exit exam on electrical engineering education, and presents the results of a trial exam carried out recently.

The development of technology with the presence of gadgets and the internet also affects the lifestyle of everyonr, youtube as social media that can be used as as learning resource and task collection is able to provide additional information for the learning process and increase the ability of students to understand ability in the learning process of partical subject. In this researce using quantitative approach with descriptive correlational method. This research aims to determine the correlation application youtube in collection of tasks with learning outcomes direct current machine subject of Electrical Engineering Education Students in 110th semester. Youtube is currently the most important popular situs and almost various groups use youtube. The population in this research is the students in Electrical Engineering Education, Faculty of Engineering, State University of Jakarta who take direct current machine subject, while the sample in this study were 65 students. The results showed that hypothesis test with significant level 5% was obtained rcount = 0,151 and rtable = 0,244, because of the rcount < rtable it can be concluded that there was no significant correlation between the use of youtube with learning outcomes of Electrical Engineering Education students, State University of Jakarta who take direct current machine subject in 110th semester because in the direct current machine subject youtube s used as a media for task collection.   Abstrak Berkembangnya teknologi dengan adanya gadget dan internet juga mempengaruhi gaya hidup setiap orang, youtube sebagai media sosial yang dapat digunakan sebagai media pembelajaran dan pengumpulan tugas mampu memberikan informasi tambahan untuk proses pembelajaran dan menambah kemampuan pemahaman mahasiswa dalam proses belajar mata kuliah praktik. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui hubungan penggunaan youtube dalam pengumpulan tugas dengan hasil belajar mata kuliah mesin arus searah mahasiswa Pendidikan Teknik Elektro Universitas Negeri Jakarta pada semester 110. Youtube saat ini menjadi situs yang paling populer dan hampir berbagai kalangan menggunakan youtube. Pada penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif dengan metode deskriptif korelatif. Populasi dalam penelitian ini adalah mahasiswa program studi Pendidikan Teknik Elektro yang mengambil mata kuliah mesin arus searah, sedangkan sampel dalam penelitian ini berjumlah 65 orang mahasiswa Pendidikan Teknik Elektro semester 110 yang mengambil mata kuliah mesin arus searah. Teknik analisis yang digunakan adalah uji prasyarat analisis menggunakan uji normalitas dan uji linieritas. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa uji hipotesis dengan taraf signifikansi 5% diperoleh rhitung = 0,151 dan nilai rtabel = 0,244, karena nilai rhitung < rtabel maka dapat disimpulkan bahwa tidak terdapat hubungan yang signifikan antara penggunaan youtube dengan hasil belajar mahasiswa Pendidikan Teknik Elektro Universitas Negeri Jakarta yang mengambil mata kuliah mesin arus searah pada semester 110 karena dalam mata kuliah mesin arus searah youtube baru digunakan sebagai media pengumpulan tugas.

The research on 3D printing aboard ships is already under way. The private sector and the navy are both experimenting with its usage. This type of education is however missing in mariner education (e.g. Electrotechnical Officer) and in International Convention on Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping for Seafarers (STCW) alike. Various authors have proposed that 3D printing should be included in the STCW standard courses. This paper describes an example of introduction of 3D printing into marine electrical engineering education at the Faculty of Maritime Studies in Split. The class is mandatory for this study. This is performed through “learning by doing” technique.
