The Outcome-based Education (OBE) implementations in the higher learning institution have been significantly affected by the Covid-19 outbreak, but its progression from pandemic to endemic signals better health regulations and controls. This paper aims to examine the relationship between course Program Outcome (PO) attainment and students' perception of the basic communication engineering (ECM241) course. The utilized methods are PO measurement through assessments and final examination as well as a student’s satisfaction survey. The analysis is done for three different delivery modes: face-to-face, hybrid, and online delivery. Through the PO measurement, the results show that students mostly preferred the hybrid delivery mode due to the flexibility in its assessment and activities conducted, reduced facility usage, and time constraints for the course completion. The survey method also showed that most of the students are satisfied with the course content and all factors contributing to the course delivery. In conclusion, this subject is suitable to be conducted using the hybrid mode as compared to the conventional method. In the future, this research could be expanded by considering all subjects in the semester to access overall OBE achievement and students' satisfaction with the Electrical Engineering program.
