Improved Attainment through Outcome Based Education and a Case study

Abstract

Outcome Based Education (OBE) is student centered instruction that improves student performance. With outcome based education students may gain more knowledge to improve soft skills and subject to exploring different ideas and innovations. OBE is an active learning- teaching methodology provides solutions for graduate course 'Control Systems Engineering’. This paper describes improvement in CO-PO attainment and is successfully implemented for one of the core subject "Control Systems engineering" for engineering graduates at Vidya Jyothi Institute of Technology, Hyderabad. One of the best ways to present any course in easy manner for students is achieved by Outcome-Based Education (OBE). OBE definitely builds complete knowledge by simplifying complex topics into small steps by applying OBE Methodologies. The attainment of the skills by the students are measured based on the Program Outcomes (PO's) specified by the accreditation bodies. Defining the Course Outcomes (CO's), COPO attainment, will modify the traditional teaching methodology to a well planned self-learning and scored good results too that is explained in this paper.
