OBE focuses on
Important aspects of the Outcome Based Education
 Outcome-Based Education (OBE) is a student-centric teaching and learning methodology.
 Course delivery, assessment are planned to achieve stated objectives and outcomes.
Measuring student performance i.e. Outcomes of at different levels.
 Institute Vision & Mission
 Department Vision & Mission
 Program Educational Objectives (PEOs)
 Programme Specific Outcomes (PSO)
 Programme Outcomes (POs)
 Course Outcomes (COs)
 Knowledge Levels
• Remember
• Understand
• Apply
• Analyze
• Evaluate
• Create
 Timeline : SHOULD BE CHANGED
 June 2018 Vision, Mission formation
Aug 2018 PEO formation
COs, POs followed from AY 2018-19
Outcome-Based Education (OBE) is an education
approach that focuses on the graduate attributes
or outcomes after completing an academic
programme
- Barr et al., 2006; Mansor et al., 2008.
OBE is a process that involves assessment and
evaluation practices in education to reflect the
attainment of expected learning and showing
mastery in the program area

Program Educational Objective-PEO
 The educational objectives of an engineering degree program are the statements that
describe the expected achievements of graduates in their career, and also in particular,
what the graduates are expected to perform and achieve during the first few years after
graduation.
 The PEOs, may be guided by global and local needs, vision of the Institution, long term
goals etc.
 For defining the PEOs the faculty members of the program must continuously work with
all
• Stakeholders: Local Employers, Industry, Students and the Alumni
• PEO1: To exhibit professional skills for immediate employment in civil industry.
• PEO2: To acquire advanced knowledge on contemporary technologies.
• PEO3: To work with other professionals in society with professional development.

Program Outcomes
 POs are statements about the knowledge, skills
and attitudes (attributes) the graduate of a
formal engineering program should have.
 Profile of the Graduates reached through POs -
Target
 POs are defined by Accreditation Agencies of
the country (NBA in India)
 Defining these is the Starting Point

9. Department of Civil Engineering 9
Program Outcomes (POs)
1. Engineering Knowledge: Apply the knowledge of mathematics, science, engineering fundamentals, and
an engineering specialization to the solution of complex engineering problems.
2. Problem Analysis: Identify, formulate, review research literature, and analyze complex engineering
problems reaching substantiated conclusions using first principles of mathematics, natural sciences, and
engineering sciences.
3. Design/Development of Solutions: Design solutions for complex engineering problems and design
system components or processes that meet the specified needs with appropriate consideration for the
public health and safety, and the cultural, societal, and environmental considerations
4. Conduct Investigations of Complex Problems: Use research-based knowledge and research methods
including design of experiments, analysis and interpretation of data, and synthesis of the information to
provide valid conclusions.
5. Modern Tool Usage: Create, select, and apply appropriate techniques, resources, and modern engineering
and IT tools including prediction and modeling to complex engineering activities with an understanding of
the limitations.
6. The Engineer and Society: Apply reasoning informed by the contextual knowledge to assess societal,
health, safety, legal and cultural issues and the consequent responsibilities relevant to the professional
engineering practice.
7. Environment and Sustainability: Understand the impact of the professional engineering solutions in
societal and environmental contexts, and demonstrate the knowledge of, and need for sustainable
development.
8. Ethics: Apply ethical principles and commit to professional ethics and responsibilities and norms of the
engineering practice.

10. Department of Civil Engineering 10
9. Individual and Team Work: Function effectively as an individual, and as a member or leader in diverse
teams, and in multidisciplinary settings.
10. Communication: Communicate effectively on complex engineering activities with the engineering
community and with society at large, such as, being able to comprehend and write effective reports and
design documentation, make effective presentations, and give and receive clear instructions.
11. Project Management and Finance: Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of the engineering and
management principles and apply these to one’s own work, as a member and leader in a team, to manage
projects and in multidisciplinary environments.
12. Life-long Learning: Recognize the need for, and have the preparation and ability to engage in independent
and lifelong learning in the broadest context of technological change.
• These outcomes are specific to a program in addition to NBA defined POs, namely,
Civil, Mechanical, Chemical, Computer science etc.,(2-4)
Example: Civil Engineering can have PSOs as:
• PSO1: Design bridges and buildings using STAAD Pro
• PSO2: Provide sustainable solutions to improve strength of concrete
• PSO3: The students should be able to work with good inter personal skills in an
appreciation of professional ethics
PROGRAM SPECIFIC OUTCOMES (PSO)
