“…In OBE, skill or knowledge acquired by the students is more important than what is taught in the classroom by the teacher According to Heywood [5], "Education that is outcome-based is a learner-centered, results-oriented system founded on the belief that all individuals can learn". The key points in the Outcome Based Education (OBE) approach are [6,7]:…”

Outcome based education (OBE) is a recent development in student-centered teaching-learning model that emphases on measuring student performance through outcomes. Outcomes include knowledge, skills and attitudes suggested in Blooms taxonomy. The OBE approach encourages students to become active learners because it focusses on student attainment in comparison to teacher-centered learning approach. The level of the attainment of Course Outcomes (COs) is the indicator of the skill, knowledge and behavior that students acquired at the end of the course. In Outcome Based Education every activity performed in the class room is linked with the measurable course outcomes. In this paper, we present an effective fuzzy based approach to assess the attainment of outcomes by mapping every assessment activity performed in the class room with the Course Outcomes (CO) and eventually to Program Outcomes (PO). The attainments of outcomes by the students are also expressed as fuzzy memberships which can also be represented graphically. The entire work is based on the OBE implementation case study of Marian College Kuttikkanam, (MCK)

“…The PEO acquired the input and feedback from the major stakeholders such as the employers, alumni, Industrial Advisory Panel (IAP), external examiner, faculty and students [5]. The importance linkage in the PEO elements is course and programme outcome mapping (CO-PO) which closely related to the students performance score.…”

Outcome Based Education (OBE) becomes trends among the universities as an approach improvement process of teaching and learning purposes. Continues Quality Improvement (CQI) is the element to implement the OBE system. The importance of CQI report of the courses is to make sure the outcomes are accessible and any unsatisfactory action can be overcome. However, the process of collecting data becoming tedious as the information needs to be compiling once. This paper presents an online OBE monitoring system using the client-server method which represented by Microsoft SQL server 2005. The graphical user interface, GUI based on Microsoft Visual C# 2010 is designed to create the interaction between server and instructor used to control activities of filling the CQI details. In conclusion, the CQI information stored based on computerized become more systematic and easier to handle through the network.Index Terms-Outcome based education, Continues quality improvement, microsoft visual C# and microsoft sql server.

“…We have added three specific competencies for our Materials Engineering program: (20) The Materials Engineering Program student applies the appropriate experimental techniques for the characterization of materials, generating a technical report. (21) The Materials Engineering Program student establishes the relationship between materials structure and properties, with the purpose of emitting statements and reports related to the many applications of materials.…”

“…With regard to ABET accreditation, we had to reinforce our existing processes to include the periodic outcome assessment and the revision of PEOS. It appears that demonstrating compliance with the Continuous Improvement criteria poses challenges for engineering programs around the world in general [16][17][18][19][20] .…”

This work discusses the strategies deployed at the School of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering of the Universidad Autonoma de Nuevo Leon, Mexico, for the assessment of Program Educational Objectives (PEOs), outcomes and competencies of the Materials Engineering Undergraduate program. This program has been reviewed and accredited by two Mexican agencies and recently efforts were made to adapt our procedures to comply with international standards and accreditation processes. Thus we successfully reviewed and evolved our systematic procedure for the assessment of PEOs, outcomes and competencies taking into account our university academic and educational model which is based on six main components: learning-centered education, competencies-based education, curricular flexibility, internationalization and academic innovation. We had to adapt our grading system in order to asses the development of competencies throughout the different courses in the five year (ten semesters) program, passing from a single average grade to a multiple-grading system. The continuous improvement processes were particularly worked in order to integrate the program constituencies inputs, the tutorship and guidance from the faculty members, while at the same time complying with our ISO-certified administrative processes. These good practices are having impact on an steadily increasing enrollment, a high employment rate and high satisfaction of the employers. We firmly believe that one key factor that accounts for the attainment of our PEOs is the strong collaboration with the regional industry which help us to offer a realistic project-based experience to our students which often results in successful research projects and publications. We also believe that our model can be of help for other Latin American engineering programs trying to evolve to international standards.
