OBE => Outcome Based Education
Outcome => Output => Result / Product =>
University Product => Performance of Graduates & Alumni

OBE is a system of education that

involves assessment and evaluation
practices from stake holders to reflect the
attainment of expected learning and
showing mastery in the program area.

Program => B.Sc. 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

(2) Psychomotor => Skills learnt by moving body parts

(3) Affective => Attitude / ethical values / manners

 What difference students feel with OBE?

1. Now in the first lecture, teacher tells us about the CLOs of each course.

2. Now Psychomotor are being assessed in the laboratories.

3. Now safety measures are being adopted in labs while performing

experiments.

4. Now teacher tells us about the ethical values to be practiced in the field.

5. Now there is considerable improvement in facilities and infrastructure.

6. Now after 5 years of the graduation, the performance of the alumni is

being assessed and evaluated.

7. There is Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI) in education system.
