21. Outcomes Based Education OBE is a student-centriceducational theory that bases each part of an educational system around goals (outcomes). By the end, each student should have achieved the goals defined by the institute. Faculty’s role becomes, instructor, trainer, facilitator, and mentor. WHAT is it? • CLARITY: A clear expectation of what needs to be accomplished at the end of the course. • FLEXIBILITY: Instructors have freedom to structure lessons around students’ needs. • COMPARISON: Institutes can compare themselves to others. Potential employers can look at what objectives the student has achieved for greater employability. • STUDENT INVOLVEMENT: Key part of OBE. Students take control of their learning. • In IndiaNBA will accredit only programs running with OBE (from 2013) WHY do it? HOW to do it? Plan and execute a Structured Implementation starting with Vision Statement and ending with Audits and Progress Reporting WHERE are we today? • Formed OBE cluster in 2018 • Participating cluster members started in January 2019 with monthly webinars for learning concepts, idea exchange, review of statuses etc. • Marwadi, RITI, Sphoorthy, St. Joseph’s

25. Engineering Education Research EER is the field of inquiry that creates knowledge which aims to define, inform, and improve the education of engineers Faculty’s role becomes researcher, author, instructor, trainer, facilitator, and mentor. WHAT is it? • PREPARATION of qualified engineers who could rapidly enter the workforce • PROMOTION of more hands-on experience among engineering educators • EVOLUTIONof effective teaching practices to achieve better student outcomes • AFFILIATION to the current accreditation policies and procedures • RESEARCH & PRACTICE NEXUS for innovative pedagogy and scientific research WHY do it? Start in an area that you are personally interested in; read a lot of literature to inform yourself of the important issues in that area; partner with people who know how to conduct human subjects research; get involved in IUCEE’s initiatives eg., EER course. HOW? • Formed EER cluster • Participating cluster members started in January 2019 • Monthly hour-long webinars including learning, exchanging ideas, reviewing statuses, etc. • Nearly 21 institutions have participated in initial planning and sharing sessions • A year-long EER Course started in March ’19 – 41 participants in 6 groups – working on producing a draft research paper with 2 webinars a month, discussions, assignments and group meetings WHERE are we today?
