The literature on engineering education research highlights the relevance of evaluating course learning outcomes (CLOs). However, generic and reliable mechanisms for evaluating CLOs remain challenges. The purpose of this project was to accurately assess the efficacy of the learning and teaching techniques through analysing the CLOs’ performance by using an advanced analytical model (i.e., the Rasch model) in the context of engineering and business education. This model produced an association pattern between the students and the overall achieved CLO performance. The sample in this project comprised students who are enrolled in some nominated engineering and business courses over one academic year at Prince Sultan University, Saudi Arabia. This sample considered several types of assessment, such as direct assessments (e.g., quizzes, assignments, projects, and examination) and indirect assessments (e.g., surveys). The current research illustrates that the Rasch model for measurement can categorise grades according to course expectations and standards in a more accurate manner, thus differentiating students by their extent of educational knowledge. The results from this project will guide the educator to track and monitor the CLOs’ performance, which is identified in every course to estimate the students’ knowledge, skills, and competence levels, which will be collected from the predefined sample by the end of each semester. The Rasch measurement model’s proposed approach can adequately assess the learning outcomes.

Purpose of the study: This paper examines the adequacy of an exit exam using the Rasch Model. It also addresses the students' achievement on the exam items according to Learning Outcomes (LOs) i.e. what LOs have been achieved and have not been achieved. Main Findings: The Rasch analyses showed‎ that there were issues related to the adequacy of the exit exam in terms of the items' validity and items' distribution along the interval scale. The items' qualitative investigation revealed that the stems and options of some items have problems. Overall, the exam was easy for the students, and students scored different achievement according to Learning Outcomes (LOs). These findings highlight the importance of using measurement ‎models to validate exams as well as to provide a more accurate interpretation of ‎students' achievement; Rasch Model is an example. Methodology: The descriptive quantitative research design was utilized to achieve the research objectives. An exam comprises 100 Multiple choice items/questions administered to 322 students taking Professional Diploma in Teaching at a College of Education.
