Evaluation Method to Improve Standard Setting in Engineering Courses - A Study

Abstract

The older system of education depends only on the theory, which could lag the students to understand the concept properly. So, they feel hard to apply it in their daily life. The introduction of CDIO syllabus helps the students in the application of concepts and also motivates them to do the hands on model. The way of assessment is done through Bloom's taxonomy and Rubric's Tool. There are four common types of assessment that are being used in today life. They are formative, bench mark, diagnostic and summative. They all serve instinct purposes and should work together in order to make up a comprehensive or balanced assessment program. TCEians follow CDIO education system, as to make the students concentrate in both theory and practical. The CDIO stands for Conceive Design, Implement, operate. The initiative created made the education framework that drive engineering fundamentals set in the context of conceiving, designing, implementing and operating real-world systems and products. The CDIO based education approach uses active learning tools, such as group projects and problem-based learning, to better equip engineering students with technical knowledge as well as communication and professional skills. This system also helps the poor students to come up with their latent (inbuilt) ability.
