Abstract

This study explores how outcome-based education (OBE) is enacted in cross-cultural postgraduate training at a Chinese engineering university, focusing on four Pakistani students. Using a qualitative case study design with semi-structured interviews, institutional training documents, weekly research reports, and student academic outputs, the study examines how institutional learning outcomes are translated into research practice through supervisory mediation. Findings show that supervisory mediation—through weekly reporting, iterative feedback, supervisor-led explanation, structured research participation, and laboratory-based engagement—aligns student activities with institutional outcomes. Students developed research autonomy, academic communication skills, and cross-cultural adaptation, though challenges remained in goal transparency, feedback consistency, and adjustment to academic norms. A four-layer outcome alignment mechanism (goal, process, outcome, feedback) is proposed to explain how institutional outcomes are interpreted, enacted, and internalized, and to enhance international postgraduate training under the OBE framework.
