The rapid spread of a new coronavirus (COVID-19) has interrupted lectures and classes worldwide (COVID-19). Many academic institutions are moving toward online or blended course delivery, including laboratory course. This paper presents Electrical Engineering Laboratory course implementation during the COVID-19, highlighting the applied methodology and student’s practical skill performance. The Electrical Engineering Laboratory course for Part 3 students of two diploma studies at Universiti Teknologi MARA (Pasir Gudang Campus) was implemented using an extended methodology. The methodology includes analysing the structure of Electrical Engineering Laboratory Course, selecting a relevant teaching method and delivering for each experiment, and using OBE-ANAS to measure the Course Outcome (CO) and Programme Outcome (PO). In the CO-PO analysis, a few important elements of Electrical Engineering Laboratory course are measured, but the most important element, which indicates practical skills in using modern engineering tools, has moderately surpassed the performance level set for this particular CO-PO Mapping despite the blended mode of delivery. It is may be due to the wise selection of experiment delivery mechanism. However, future study may compare the complete face-to-face delivery of the electrical engineering laboratory course with blended mode delivery to examine the effect of delivery mode on the laboratory course’s execution.
