OUTCOME BASED EDUCATION - SESSION I, KPR Institute Engineering and Technology, Autonomous Engineering Institution, Coimbatore, India

The following contents were delivered by the expert during the program.
To frame the course outcomes:
4 to 8 succinct sentences are reasonable for a course or program.
Use active verbs that show measurable performance. It should be measured when the outcome is set.
Write the sentences in a language that students will be able to understand.
Well-written learning outcomes involve the following parts:
Use Action verb
Provide relevant subject content 
Include level of achievement 
Condition of performance (if applicable)
COs should be SMART outcomes
Additionally, he explained with the four broad areas: 1) contextualization of knowledge; 2) praxis and technique; 3) critical thinking; and, 4) research and communication.
 
To correlate the course outcomes and programme outcomes:
He started with the creation of a link between the Course Outcomes (COs) and program outcomes (POs), for each lesson and assessment is called CO-PO Mapping. It helps to encourage and apply Outcome Based Education for attaining a futuristic approach towards education along with improved learning outcomes. There are four levels of outcome such as Course Outcome (CO), Program Outcome (PO), Program Specific Outcome (PSO) and Program Educational Objective (PEO). Course Articulation Matrix shows the educational relationship (Level of Learning achieved) between Course Outcomes and Program Outcomes for a Course. This matrix strongly indicates whether the students are able to achieve the course learning objectives. POs are statements about the knowledge, skills and attitudes (attributes) the graduate of a formal engineering program should have. POs deal with the general aspect of graduation for a particular program, and the competencies and expertise a graduate will possess after completion of the program.
