The implementation of Outcome-based Education (OBE) has become an obligation in all public and private institutions of higher education, especially in engineering programs. OBE's main approach is focusing on what students should learn and obtain their outcomes ongoing and after finishing their learning process. The engineering program offered by higher education institutions should specify their outcomes and it is required to measure their performance, especially the program outcomes (POs). In this paper, a tool for analyzing the program outcomes for evaluation and accreditation by the professional body is presented. The tool was developed by the OBE committee unit, known as the OBE-ANAS system, and is used to obtain the overall POs performance. This tool is used to analyse POs of the Diploma Electrical Engineering (Electronic) with the program code CEEE111. The OBE-ANAS system consists of two main parts: the graphical user interface (GUI) and the database system. The tool provides information about the overall POs performance that can be easily evaluated by the lecturers. Two types of analysis are conducted to evaluate POs which are POs average and density. Based on this analysis, the Degree of Program Achievement (DPA) is used to monitor its achievement for every semester. In addition, all the measurement types are positioned with the program’s key performance indicator (KPI). Therefore, the tool will be beneficial for the faculty for the accreditation process and achieving the program KPI set by the faculty.
