Development of innovative course outcomes: Using S.M.A.R.T. Goals

Abstract

Build layer of OBEE architecture forms an innovative way to towards development of course outcomes from lesson outcomes [4]. The process of development of course outcomes is crucial and time-consuming without appropriate guidance and support. This paper, therefore, provides guidelines /rules towards the development of outcomes according to the OBEE architecture. The paper also suggests a sample Course outcomes taking one engineering course as a case study. The phenomenon of making course outcome is based on a SMART approach. The process also suggests that we should involve industry domain experts and Alumni students which give a proper academic and practically oriented shape to the documented course outcomes. As a result, the entire OBEE process becomes smoother and functional in the entire semester. The above research is validated by implementing the revised methodology in the course Data Structures and Algorithms (DSA). The research outperforms the in results by Course Outcome attainment analysis.
