A Case Study on Curiosity Point Based Teaching and Learning– A Step Towards Industry Readiness

The Outcome Based Education (OBE) being the core academic quality drive of all Engineering Colleges in India, particularly for tier-1 Institutions, yet industry readiness continues as a major matter of concern. Though the competence and performance of learner is stated clearly in terms of observable and measurable outcomes that are essential to carry out the role effectively by learners, yet the style of teaching and assessment by teachers to help the students' learning has great impact on achieving the specified outcomes. This style of teaching or teaching methodology differs from teacher to teacher. This variation or lack of maturity in understanding sufficiency and completeness as a parameter for attainment of outcome influences students' Industry readiness. Authors of this paper present a case study on a concept called 'curiosity points', a measure of sufficiency and completeness of learning any topic. This case study focuses on computer programming at both first semester undergraduate level and at postgraduate level. The concept may be extended to any course of any branch.
