Software Development for Course and Program Outcome Attainment

Abstract

In today's competitive world, every institute needs to keep their academic standard as high as possible. It becomes mandatory for all most all the institutes to maintain the quality in technical education as well as to produce the skilled graduates. In order to produce the skill graduates, the Institute always rely on different programs which is responsible for producing the high calibre graduate. As of now, there is no such application available which will automate at least the process of reducing the clerical work required for preparing the course file to evaluate the Course Outcome with Program Outcome .NBA has laid down the guidelines for each program through the means of rubrics to undergo this evaluation process which implies the accreditation grade to be given from NBA committee. This application allows the faculty to enter the details about their courses in terms of mapping with PO, PSO and Bloom's Taxonomy. The application calculates the PO attainment which helps the faculty about the existing gap which further can be improved in the next semester.Hence such type of application will assist the faculty to reduce their workload regarding the individual course.
