A Preliminary Study on the Relevance of Outcomes-Based Education in Engineering - A Student Centric Approach

This paper reveals the necessity of Outcomes- Based Education (OBE) in current engineering education. Here an effort has been made to gather information from students currently pursuing engineering across various colleges having substantial variation in the curriculum, in the state of Karnataka as well as at a national level. The method adopted to conduct the survey was questionnaire. The findings of the study indicated that the outcome based approach is more effective when compared to conventional teaching-learning methodology.
