Industry Institute Interaction for Outcome Based Education

The traditional or input based education is teacher centric, where in a teacher always tries to complete the syllabus on time, not concerning about whether the students have understood the subject. The faculty will evaluate the students based on their performance in the tests and examinations. The adoption of Outcome Based Education (OBE) has changed the entire teaching learning process. The education is no longer teacher centric. The OBE requires students to demonstrate their skills rather than scoring marks. Since the key generators of innovations are the technical institutions and the implementers are the industries, there is a need for the industry institute interaction through the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU). In this paper, the OBE adopted in the department of Telecommunication Engineering, BMS College of Engineering (BMSCE), Bangalore which is an autonomous institute under Visvesvaraya Technological University, Belguam, India through industry institute interaction is presented. The objective of this paper is to demonstrate the impact of industry institute interaction in achieving Outcome Based Education. There was a significant improvement in the attainment of higher POs through this interaction.
