Abstract
The very purpose of the article was to discover the effective deployment strategy for Outcome Based Education (OBE). The article addresses one of the affective domains (motivation) of Blooms Taxonomy in implementing the OBE. The Maslow's motivational model and ARCS motivational model was used to complement each other in the deployment of the outcome-based system. Two sections of a course were considered in the research design having same subject of study, syllabus and assessment methodology to compare and culminate the findings of old and new approach. Root-cause analysis was used to initiate the research whereas statistical analysis was performed to culminate the findings. The new deployment strategy based on motivational theories proved to be superior in the outcome of the course. The current research was unique and adds value to body of knowledge by paving the way forward for new opportunity for engineering education research among the academicians, researchers, and policy makers.
