Abstract

The attainment of program outcomes (POs) is generally computed by considering 80% contribution from the Course Outcomes (COs) of courses of study and 20% contribution from the Graduate Exit Survey. This contribution of COs to POs takes into account the strength of mapping of COs based on Bloom's taxonomical level to the corresponding POs.; however ignores the fractional contributions of the components of the curriculum in terms of the ratio of cumulative credits of that component to the total credits of the entire curriculum. In this paper, we propose the computation of attainment of POs by associating this additional weight factor- to be called as Credit Weight Factor (CWF)- by considering the AICTE proposed model curriculum for UG program in Engineering.
