Curriculum Delivery, Learning and Evaluation by Average Course Outcome Attainment & Program Outcome Attainment Method

Abstract

Technical education in the country is undergoing a paradigm shift as India became a signatory member of the Washington Accord in the year 2014. Therefore, the focus of the technical education system in the country is now on outcome-based education to ensure quality and excellence. In this changed scenario, the proficiencies and abilities expected of technical teachers need to be transformed to match the changed need of the stakeholders. This is even more relevant as teachers joining the technical education system will be serving the system for the next thirty to forty years and hence implementation OBE framework is of utmost importance for their preparedness to become effective change agents. The performance of the students in the examinations during the semester in each course is used to compute the level of attainment of the POs and PSOs through the mapping of questions to COs and COs to POs and PSOs. This paper represents the process to be adopted for the calculation, of course outcome attainment & program outcome attainment by an average method. Key words: Outcome Based Education (OBE), Course Outcome, Program Outcome, Attainment.
