acknowledges the value of transforming a student
into a capable engineer with sound knowledge of
fundamentals and an acceptable level of professional
skill
 Main Objective

national and international standards
 Required a mechanism for continual improvement of
the program through evaluation and feedback
National Board of Accreditation
 The National Board of Accreditation (NBA) is one of
the two major bodies responsible for accreditation of
higher education institutions in India, along with the
National Assessment and Accreditation Council
(NAAC).
 NBA accredits technical programmes, such
engineering and management programmes, while
NAAC accredits general colleges and universities.
 NBA is a full member of the Washington Accord.
Washington Accord
 Washington Accord is an international agreement for
engineering degrees between the bodies responsible
for accreditation in its signatory countries
 Agreement recognizes that there is substantial
equivalence of programs accredited by signatories
 Graduates of accredited programs in any of the
signatory countries are recognized by the other
signatory countries as having met the academic
requirements for entry to the practice of engineering
Object Based Education
(Focused on Student not on Teacher)
 OBE is an educational process
 Outcome based assessment
 Directed/focused at achieving certain specified
outcomes in terms of individual student learning.
Outcomes
 key things students should understand and be able to
do or the qualities they should develop
Principle of OBE
 Clarity of Focus
This means that everything
teachers do must be clearly
focused on what they
want students to know,
understand and be able to do. In other words, teachers
should focus on helping students to develop the
knowledge, skills and personalities that will enable
them to achieve the intended outcomes that have been
clearly articulated.
Principle of OBE
 Designing down
It means that the curriculum design must start with a
clear definition of the intended outcomes that students
are to achieve by the end of the program. Once this has
been done, all instructional decisions are then made to
ensure achieve this desired end result.
Principle of OBE
 High expectations
It means that teachers should
establish high, challenging
standards of performance
in order to encourage students
to engage deeply in what they
are learning
Principle of OBE
Principle of OBE
 Expanded Opportunities
Teachers must strive to provide expanded
opportunities for all students. This principle is based
on the idea that not all learners can learn the same
thing in the same way and in the same time.
However, most students can achieve high standards if
they are given appropriate opportunities.
Component of OBE
 Vision/Mission of Institute.
 Vision/Mission of Department.
 Programme Educational Objectives.
 Program Outcomes.
 Course Outcomes.
Vision, Mission and PEO of a Program
 Vision is a futuristic statement that an institute

 Mission is the means by which it proposes to move
toward the stated vision.
 Program Educational Objectives (PEOs) are long
term goals describing expected achievements of
graduates in their career
Course Outcome – CO
 Course Outcomes (CO) address the abilities to be
attained by students upon the completion of a
subject
 A subject usually has several Cos
 Ideally 2 to 4 COs is considered a good practice.
 Bloom’s Taxonomy action verb and levels need to
consider while writing COs
Bloom’s Taxonomy
Program Outcome – PO
 Program Outcomes (PO) are short term outcomes (at
the point of graduation) describing what students are
expected to know and be able to perform.
 Washington Accord has specified 12 Graduate
Attributes as POs of Engineering programs
Vision of Institute

Vision of Civil Engineering Department
 To be a center of excellence for practical oriented
education in Civil Engineering
Mission of Civil Engineering Department
 DM1: To impart excellent engineering education
and produce competent professionals capable to
analyses, design and supervise construction of Civil
Engineering structures for societal and
environmental needs.
 DM2: To provide global avenues to the students and
faculty to enhance their professional careers.
 DM3: To collaborate with the industries to ensure
