Outcome-Based Education (OBE) is a student-centric teaching and learning methodology in which the course delivery and assessment are planned to achieve stated objectives and outcomes. It focuses on measuring student performance i.e. outcomes at different levels.
Some important aspects of Outcome Based Education:
- Course is defined as a theory, practical, or theory cum practical subject studied in a semester. For Eg. Basic Mechanical Engineering.
- Course Outcome (CO): Course outcomes are statements that describe significant and essential learning that learners have achieved, and can reliably demonstrate at the end of a course. Generally, three or more course outcomes may be specified for each course based on its weightage.
- Programme is defined as the specialization or discipline of a Degree. It is the interconnected arrangement of courses, co-curricular and extracurricular activities to accomplish predetermined objectives leading to the awarding of a degree. For Example B.Tech. Mechanical Engineering.
- Programme Outcomes (POs): Program outcomes are narrower statements that describe what students are expected to be able to do by the time of graduation. POs are expected to be aligned closely with Graduate Attributes.
- Program Educational Objectives (PEOs): The Programme Educational Objectives of a program are the statements that describe the expected achievements of graduates in their career, and also in particular, what the graduates are expected to perform and achieve during the first few years after graduation.
- Programme Specific Outcomes (PSOs): Programme Specific Outcomes are what the students should be able to do at the time of graduation with reference to a specific discipline. Usually, there are two to four PSOs for a programme.
