on
Outcome Based Education (OBE)
-Overview

2. OBE Definition
Outcome-based education means starting with a clear picture of
what is important for students to be able to do, then organizing the
curriculum, instruction and assessment to make sure that this
learning ultimately
happens (William G. Spady, 1994)

3. Terminology
• Program Educational Outcomes (PEOs)
• Program Outcomes (POs)
• Course Outcomes (COs)
• Lesson Outcomes (LOs)
• Knowledge Profile (Ks)
• Complex Engineering Problems (Ps)
• Complex Engineering Activities (As)
Outcomes
Learning
Domains

4. Terminology
COs address the abilities to be attained by students upon completion
of a course
POs describe what students are expected to know and be able to
perform by the time of graduation
PEOs address the graduates attainment 3-5 years after graduation
LOs address the abilities to be attained by students upon completion
of a lesson
Program = Engg discipline eg. CE, CSE

5. Terminology
Complex Engineering Problems (Ps): Engineering problems that can
not be solved without deep knowledge
Knowledge Profiles (Ks): List of characteristic knowledge that must
include in the curriculum to Attain POs
Complex Engineering Activities (As): Activities like Industrial training,
internship or projects

8. Program Outcomes/ Graduate Attributes
Characteristics PO Statements
Environment and
Sustainability
PO7: Understand and evaluate the sustainability and impact of
professional engineering work in societal and environmental
contexts.
Ethics PO8: Apply ethical principles and norms engg practice
Individual and
Team work
PO9: Role in and diversity of team, function effectively as an
individual, and as a member or leader in a team
Communication
PO10: Level of communication according to type of activities
performed
Project
Management and
Finance
PO11: Level of management required for differing types of activity

9. How to Attain the outcomes
1. Cognitive domain (knowledge-based)
The cognition is the mental action or process of
acquiring knowledge and understanding through
thought, experience, and the senses
2. Affective domain (emotion-based)
Affective domain relates with the awareness and
growth in attitudes, emotion, and feelings
3.Psychomotor domain (action-based)
Psychomotor domain describe the ability to
physically manipulate a tool or instrument like a
hand or a hammer

Attribute Complex Activities
A1 Range of resources
Involve the use of diverse resource (people, money, equipment,
materials, technologies, information)
A2
Level of
interactions
Require resolution of significant problems arising from
interactions between wide ranging or conflicting technical,
engineering or other issues
