“…In the case of failure, the course teacher should analyze the nonachievements and take necessary actions to obtain the outcomes of the course. If all the results of the course are achieved, a course expert or teacher can raise the goals [5,22]. Thus, OBE aims to focus on and organize the entirety of the education system and is essential for the students to succeed at the end of their studies through their learning experiences.…”

Higher education institutions are catching up on their high competition and challenges are in their analysis productivity. The major challenge is to monitor and analyze student progress through learning outcomes in the curriculum. One of the approaches is the outcome-based education (OBE) model to deal with learning outcomes. OBE is an integral part of higher education institutions. The OBE system is a key step for accreditation in engineering education. OBE focuses on a student-centered approach. The OBE is not restricted to welldefined teaching strategies or direct evaluations but also encompasses indirect evaluations to help students achieve the intended outcomes. In this investigation, engineering students' data have been analyzed forming three distinct clusters to group students according to best, average, and worst achievement of learning outcomes in two different computer engineering courses generally taught in the early semesters in higher education institutions. A data mining clustering approach is used to segment students using k-means and k-medoids techniques. Clustering can be regarded as a data modeling technique that provides summary data that interact with multiple disciplines and plays an important role in a wide range of computer applications. The investigation comprises of two parts for analysis: one part of the analysis is the mid-term and final exam scores, the quiz and assignment results, the laboratory results, and the evaluation, together with the learning outcomes achieved, and the other part is the comparative analysis of learning outcomes achieved in both engineering courses clustering with the best, average, and worst attainments, respectively. In this investigation, the results obtained from clustering data points show that the same group of clusters with the best, average, and worst learning outcomes achievements formed using both k-means and k-medoid clustering for one course. On the other hand, a diverse group of clusters with the best, average, and worst learning outcomes achievements formed using both k-means and k-medoids clustering for another course.

The model of outcome-based education is based on achieving attainments at the end of each course by the students in any undergraduate or postgraduate program. It was implemented in all technical institutions of India as per the guidelines of All India Council for Technical Education, India. The attainments are calculated by deploying some direct and indirect tools. This include courses results, placements, projects and various surveys like alumni, employer etc. The paper discusses the attainment of Program Educational Objectives and Program Outcomes for any undergraduate or postgraduate program. In outcome-based education, certain targets are to be set on the basis of previous year performance of students and these targets are achieved in the form of attainments. In this research, a comparative study of last three batches of a postgraduate course is done in the form of attainments.

Students are a gold asset for each country. Proper guidance/ recommendation to the students regarding their education-related issues can ultimately result in uplifting the economy of a country. Different education models are followed in the world, out of which Outcome Based Education (OBE) is the one. OBE education model comprises three main components, which include Program Educational Objectives (PEOs), Program Learning Outcomes (PLOs), and Course Learning Outcomes (CLOs). CLOs are outcomes that a student achieves after studying a course. A single course may contain one or more CLOs. These CLOs are then mapped to PLOs and PLOs are then mapped to PEOs. Therefore, our objective in this work is to improve deficient/weak CLOs of students by suggesting online resources. Whereas, in the absence of this proposed system, students have to find out these resources by themselves or course teacher recommends relevant online resources. To achieve this objective, we created a dataset for the OBE education model, as to date no standard dataset exists on the OBE education model. From this dataset, we created a Student-to-CLO matrix and performed bi-clustering on this matrix to find groups of students having similar performance in different CLOs. So far, Bi-clustering has been used in the Bio-informatics field to determine similarity in genes and expressions data. Generated bi-clusters are sorted according to their homogeneity of contained values. These sorted bi-clusters are then mapped to a 2D grid to formulate a reinforcement-learning environment. The start state of the recommendation agent is determined using cosine similarity. If an agent visits a state, deficient CLOs of that state are recommended to the student. The agent can visit only those states that are nearby to its current state and accessible through its legal action space. An optimal sequence of actions to visit different states of a 2D grid, which can improve student's performance, is determined using Q-learning. Online resources including research articles, YouTube videos, books, and online tutorials are suggested to the student to improve his deficient CLOs using a mobile app.
