This document discusses Outcome Based Education (OBE) and Bloom's Taxonomy. It outlines the six levels of Bloom's Taxonomy from remembering to creating. It then lists three sample course outcomes for an environmental science and engineering course, focusing on applying principles, demonstrating understanding of processes, and analyzing and designing systems. Finally, it provides guidance for mapping course outcomes to twelve program outcomes, noting which outcomes are technical vs non-technical and which Bloom's levels are appropriate for different types of courses like theory, programming, labs, and projects.

1. Outcome Based Education
(OBE)

2. Blooms Taxonomy
1.Remembering: The ability to recall information from
memory, such as facts, concepts, and procedures.
2.Understanding: The ability to comprehend the meaning of
information, including being able to explain ideas in one's own
words.
3.Applying: The ability to use information in a new context,
such as solving a problem or completing a task.
4.Analyzing: The ability to break down information into its
component parts and identify relationships between them.
5.Evaluating: The ability to make judgments about the quality
or value of information, based on a set of criteria.
6.Creating: The ability to generate new ideas, products, or
solutions based on existing knowledge.

14. CO - Students are expected to learn and achieve by the end of
a course
• CO1: Apply the principles of environmental science to solve
engineering problems.
• CO2: Demonstrate an understanding of physical, chemical, and
biological processes relevant to environmental science and
engineering.
• CO3: Analyze and design environmental engineering systems.

15. List of POs
• PO1 - Engineering knowledge
• PO2 - Problem analysis
• PO3 - Design/development of solutions
• PO4 - Conduct investigations of complex problems
• PO5 - Modern tool usage
• PO6 - The engineer and society
• PO7 - Environment and sustainability
• PO8 - Ethics
• PO9 - Individual and team work
• PO10 - Communication
• PO11 - Project management and finance
• PO12 - Life-long learning

16. CO-PO Mapping
1. The first five POs are purely of technical in nature, while the other POs are non-technical.
2. For the theory courses, while writing the COs, you need to restrict yourself between Blooms
Level 1 to Level 4. Again, if it is a programming course, restrict yourself between Blooms
Level 1 to Level 3 but for the other courses, you can go up to Blooms Level 4.
3. For the laboratory courses, while composing COs, you need to restrict yourself between
Blooms Level 1 to Level 5.
4. Only for Mini-project and Main project, you may extend up to Blooms Level 6 while composing
COs.
