Like other countries, in Indiatoo the engineering educators have a task of insistingattainment of graduate attributes to suit the global needs. Teaching engineering courses help us to attain the programoutcomes [1]. However, real challenge lies in efficientattainment of ethical principles and effective functioning ofprofessionals as a member in diverse team by effectivecommunication. Thus proper guiding and assessing practical engineering skills is the need of the hour. We focus on educative growth of ethical and communicative skills attained in the present study wherecapstone project is taken as an example. The project issubdivided into two level first the pre-project and the finalproject. Capstone project is an amalgamation of all the basiclearning and the application component of the curriculum. In order to evaluate the attainment of ethical skill andcommunicative skill, the assessment rubrics need to bedesigned well. This work discusses the manner which canmeasure the attribute attainment quite precisely. After acquiring fundamental knowledge on engineering subjects, the students are made to work on acapstone project. Attainment of the program outcome (PO)is quantified with a class with seventy students. The finalyear under-graduate students are divided into group of fourto the maximum. A topic and a faculty adviser ofcorresponding specialization is assigned to each of thegroups. Rubrics of formative assessment are attentivelychosen to incorporate the attributes of ethics and soft skills. Bimonthly evaluations were graded by the guide anddepartmental faculty other than the guide. The summativeassessment is done along with an external examiner from the neighboring institution. Mode of attainment of courseoutcome (CO) to PO has been discussed in the full paperalong with the state diagram of the evaluation process. Asthe students go ahead with execution of the project throughregular meetings with guide, the communication is assessedby rubrics which emphasize the report writing skilldevelopment. The written communication skill is thensubsequently corroborated by oral presentation. Thepresentation is evaluated again to judge the oralcommunication skill as a part of a team of maximum fourmembers with varied aptitudes. Another important point isin the rubrics we have introduced plagiarism check to ensure the ethical attribute of the graduate. By keeping a threshold value for acceptance limit of plagiarism one can evaluate the skill of written communication and originality of thoughts. The attainment of CO to PO is graded from theformative assessment score in pre-project work and finalproject work. In order to take in-depth evaluation, we havetaken 75% of the total marks as the criteria for assessing aparticular skill of a student. Capstone project is consideredas culmination of all the teaching-learning in the curriculumfor the discipline.

The assessment can be undergone in two ways Formative and summative. We have chosen data sets from Continuous Assessment Tests for Formative assessment and Terminal Exam results for Summative assessment. In our strategy we have given more priority over the Formative Assessment. Since, when we Fine tune the student's outcome through Formative assessment we can able to expect improved Final outcome. In this paper we have proposed threshold based grading assessment strategy and the results are discussed. Interestingly, the strategy used for analyzing the outcome compared to previous successive rate correlates the final outcome.

In general, the graduate programme outcomes are assessed through direct (examinations, projects, assignments etc) and indirect (co-curricular, extra-curricular, surveys etc) methods. The results through direct assessment are followed up with several actions such as remedial classes, tutorials etc. Accomplishments in Co-curricular, extra-curricular activities and Feedback surveys from the students, recruiters and alumni are considered for the indirect assessment of Programme outcomes. To improve these indirect assessment methods, some institutions are getting feedback for few activities manually. With the increasing use of ICT in education and mobile learning, we decided to launch a new mobile and web based indirect assessment tool (IAT) for assisting the programme assessment committee in our department. This tool automates the process of recording student's surveys, efficiently analyzes the feedback data from number of perspectives and produces ready-to-use reports which help other wings of the department such as Industry interaction, Research, Student's activities and Faculty development to decide future targets and follow-up actions. This tool contains well structured questionnaires for obtaining feedback of students on the course they learn during mid of a semester and end of a semester. The tool also collects feedback from graduates, alumni and employers to ensure an all-rounded assessment. The proposed Indirect Assessment Tool (IAT) has been implemented using web technologies such as HTML, PHP, JSON and JS. The tool has been tested successfully and is involved in indirect assessments of our degree programme since 2015.","PeriodicalId":407003,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE 4th International Conference on MOOCs, Innovation and Technology in Education (MITE)","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127498179","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
