A New Outcome based Education System in Engineering Colleges

Abstract

This paper propses a new Outcome Based Education and its benefits in the engineering colleges. The engineering education system has evolved in the past 10 years. The sustained innovation of ideas and products has produced a huge gap between the industry-academic interactions. The industries are well in advance of the technology taught in the curriculum. This mismatch of the academics and industries has created a change in the skills set requirement of the companies which are recruiting the young engineers in their field of interest. The main goal of the OBE is to reduce the distance between the industry-academic and provide versatile training that will be suitable and in demand for the current trend in the industries. This method will project on the importance of the OBE practiced in the engineering colleges so as to satisfy the skill set demand of the industries. This method is conducted with the students from the various departments of an engineering college. The result depicts that the 70% of the students are interested in the OBE and seems to be actively involved in the OBE practices.
