abstract: This  paper  gives  an  overview  of  the  design  and  development  of Bachelor  of Education
(Civil / Electrical / Mechanical Engineering) programs for delivery through open and distance
learning methodology at the Open University Malaysia. Research was carried out extensively
prior to the design and development processes. These programs were tailor designed to train in-
service teachers attached to the Ministry of Education, Malaysia, and they constitute an integral
part of the Ministry’s plan to ensure that all technical teachers in Malaysian secondary schools
possess tertiary education by the year 2010. This paper focuses on the curriculum development,
the  learning  methodology,  the  laboratory  requirements  and  planning,  the  courseware
development, the e-learning delivery platform, and on the program quality assurance. Besides
these,  the academic calendar adopted  for  the program  is also discussed since  it has a strong
influence on the design of the curriculum and on the duration of this program. The programs
were  designed  and  developed  to  introduce  some  uniqueness  that  will  ensure  academic
accreditation and at the same time meet the needs of the intended target group. (Authors' abstract)
