Abstract
A sustainable electronics engineering program effectively prepares graduates to tackle the changing technological, environmental, and societal challenges. In this context, this study examines the relationship between OutcomeBased Education (OBE), quality assurance mechanisms, and student performance in the Electronics Engineering Licensure Examination with the goal of enhancing the development of the program and making it more sustainable. To do this, the paper analyzed a five-year dataset to examine key factors such as accreditation by the Philippine Technological Council (PTC), international rankings (QS and THE), and recognition as Centers of Excellence (COE) or Centers of Development (COD) by the Commission on Higher Education (CHED). Regression modeling of the data gathered revealed that the linear interaction model most effectively predicts student performance, with an R-squared value of 0.85, highlighting the emphasis on OBE and quality assurance to improve academic results. The study concluded that emphasizing interactions among program attributes can guide curriculum revisions to enhance student success and ultimately, its sustainability. It suggested that future studies integrate machine learning (ML) techniques to improve the predictive capabilities of model to enhance quality assurance measures. This may be done by utilizing ML methodologies from related fields such as human detection systems and ECG analysis and apply it to educational research. Such an implementation can enhance data-driven decision-making processes, thereby improving the quality of education and student performance in the Electronics Engineering Licensure Examination and ultimately, making the program more sustainable.
