Case Studies-Motivation and Drive for Curriculum Design

Abstract

Higher Engineering education is moving towards Outcome Based Education (OBE) wherein the quality of the teaching-learning process is adjudged by the abilities of the outgoing students measured during the academic programme and also after the completion of the programme In this manner, the assessment of the educational process is a bottom-up approach. However, curriculum development for the programmes is still a top-down approach. Moving forward, this orthogonality would impair OBE. This paper presents a methodology for curriculum development using bottom-up approach in-line with OBE. The methodology suggested is illustrated and discussed with the help of case study. The role of a teacher is redefined as a facilitator with curriculum development as his/her core functionality rather than being mundane with course delivery and assessment year after year.
