There has been an attempt to effectively implement Outcomes Based Education (OBE), to ensure quality of engineering graduates. For effective implementation, we need to introduce small changes in the teaching learning process, and signifi cant changes in the assessment tools. The accreditation norms emphasize the need to: (i) develop the ability to apply knowledge of sciences and engineering to solve, design, develop, implement, test, analyze systems/sub-systems related to the engineering domain, (ii) develop the ability to perform in diverse teams through effective communication, and (iii) demonstrate professional behavior through concern for society, environment, safety and health. The focus of this paper is to present the complete activities of a faculty in a semester in the OBE framework. We present a typical example of a course in this model. The suggested model can be included in any of the courses and when successfully implemented in most courses, leads to enhanced attributes acquired by the graduating engineer.

Abstract


There has been an attempt to effectively implement Outcomes Based Education (OBE), to ensure quality of engineering graduates. For effective implementation, we need to introduce small changes in the teaching learning process, and signifi cant changes in the assessment tools. The accreditation norms emphasize the need to: (i) develop the ability to apply knowledge of sciences and engineering to solve, design, develop, implement, test, analyze systems/sub-systems related to the engineering domain, (ii) develop the ability to perform in diverse teams through effective communication, and (iii) demonstrate professional behavior through concern for society, environment, safety and health. The focus of this paper is to present the complete activities of a faculty in a semester in the OBE framework. We present a typical example of a course in this model. The suggested model can be included in any of the courses and when successfully implemented in most courses, leads to enhanced attributes acquired by the graduating engineer.
