Introduction to Outcome Based Education (OBE) System

• OBE is a process that involves assessment and evaluation

practices in education to reflect the attainment of expected
learning and showing mastery in the program area.
• Outcome => Output => Result / Product =>
University Product => Performance of Graduates & Alumni

• Program => Civil Engineering

• Students => Learning in a program
• Graduates => Just passed the program
• Alumni => Ex-students, now working
Domains of Engineering Program

(1) Cognitive => Engineering Knowledge (K)

(2) Psychomotor => Skills (S) learnt by moving body parts
(3) Affective => Attitude (A) / ethical values /
manners
 Benefits of OBE System

1. More directed & rational curriculum.

2. Graduates will be more “relevant” to the industry / field.

3. Enhances public relations.

4. Improve avenues for internships and jobs.

5. After 2016, No OBE, No Accreditation.

6. Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI) is in place.

 Objectives / Outcomes

– PEOs => Program Educational Objectives

– (Assessed from Alumni after 4-5 years of graduation)

– PLOs => Program Learning Outcomes

– (Assessed from graduates at the time of graduation)

– CLOs => Course Learning Outcomes

– (Assessed from students after each course).
Program Educational Objectives (PEOs)

1. Graduates exhibit their proficiency of applying the

knowledge & skills to solve complex civil engineering
problems.

2. Graduates communicate effectively and lead the project

team.

3. Graduates earn repute of upright engineer through

adherence to the principles of professional ethics.

4. Graduates engage themselves in continuous learning

process including advanced research.
Program Learning Outcomes (PLOs)
At the time of graduation, the graduate must be able to have:

S. No PLOs
