OBJECTIVES

To meet the challenge of ensuring excellence in engineering education, the issue of

quality needs to be addressed, debated and taken forward in a systematic manner.
Accreditation is the principal means of quality assurance in higher education. The major
emphasis of accreditation process is to measure the outcomes of the program that is being
accredited.
In line with this, Faculty of MLR Institute of Technology, Hyderabad has taken a lead in
incorporating philosophy of outcome based education in the process of problem solving and
career development. So, all students of the institute should understand the depth and approach
of course to be taught through these Tutorial questions, which will enhance learner's learning
process.
