What Is OBE

Outcome-based education (OBE) is a student-centered model that focuses on measuring student performance through outcomes such as knowledge, skills, and attitudes. Under OBE, engineering programs must predetermine required knowledge and skill sets, and evaluate students on all required parameters (outcomes) during their programs. India's adoption of OBE is compulsory for engineering institutions to be accredited by the National Board of Accreditation according to international accords that allow Indian graduates to work abroad. OBE is measured by evaluating program educational objectives 4-5 years after graduation, program outcomes at graduation, and course outcomes each semester through exams, assignments, projects, presentations and feedback.

OUTCOME-BASED EDUCATION (OBE)

1) What is OBE?

Outcome based education (OBE) is student-centered instruction model that focuses on


measuring student performance through outcomes. Outcomes include knowledge, skills and
attitudes. Its focus remains on evaluation of outcomes of the program by stating the knowledge,
skill and behavior a graduate is expected to attain upon completion of a program and after 4 – 5
years of graduation. In the OBE model, the required knowledge and skill sets for a particular
engineering degree is predetermined and the students are evaluated for all the required
parameters (Outcomes) during the course of the program.

2)  Why we need to follow OBE?

The induction of India in the Washington Accord in 2014 with the permanent signatory status of
the National Board of Accreditation (NBA) is considered a big leap forward for the higher-
education system in India. It means that an Engineering graduate from India can be employed in
any one of the other countries who have signed the accord. For Indian Engineering Institutions to
get accredited by NBA according to the pacts of the accord, it is compulsory that engineering
institutions follow the Outcome Based Education (OBE) model. So, for an Engineering
Institution to be accredited by NBA it should compulsorily follow the OBE model.

3) How is it measured?

The OBE model measures the progress of the graduate in three parameters, which are
 Program Educational Objectives (PEO)
 Program Outcomes (PO)
 Course Outcomes (CO)

Program Educational Objectives (PEO) are broad statements that describe the career and
professional accomplishments that the program is preparing the graduates to achieve. PEO’s are
measured 4-5 years after graduation.

Program outcomes are narrower statements that describe what students are expected to know
and be able to do by the time of graduation. They must reflect the 12 Graduate attributes as
described by NBA for under graduate engineering programs.

Course outcomes are the measurable parameters which evaluates each students performance for
each course that the student undertakes in every semester.

4) Methods of assessment

The various assessment tools for measuring Course Outcomes include Mid-Semester and End
Semester Examinations, Assignments, Project work, Tutorials, Labs, Presentations, Employer/
Alumni Feedback etc,. These course outcomes are mapped to Graduate attributes and Program
outcomes based on relevance. This evaluation pattern helps Institutions to measure the Program
Outcome. The Program Educational Objectives are measured through Employer satisfaction
survey (Yearly), Alumni survey (Yearly), Placement records and higher education records.
