Tailor-Made Educational Model Realizing Intended Learning Outcome to Enhance Competencies among Engineering Graduates

Abstract

To refrain from the constant crisis on lack on competent engineer's, it is vital for the educators to evolve a tailor-made Educational Model that custom suits the aspirants and help attainment of Programme Educational Objective. Clear alignment begins with Identifying what a student will be able to do, Planning & Organizing the curriculum delivery, and Strategies towards Teaching- Learning&Assessment ensuring realization of intended skills. The basic principles that facilitate and drive the above starts with clear definition on intended learning outcomes guided with set performance standard towards engaging deep learning and strive for expanding opportunities. Custom-designed educational model is essential for creation of learning atmosphere that supports appropriate learning activities to attain the desired learning outcomes. By effectively identifying the learning outcome for each topic in a course with proper implementation help us to achieve Course outcome (CO) of a course. This paper is a micro level initiative towards the achievement of COs and thereby visualizing the learning skill as well as the cognitive skill of a student through each and every topic taught in the course. The proposed approach was practiced in third semester B.E (CSE) for Data Structures and Algorithm Course. The effectiveness of the above model is implemented and measured using standard tools.
