OUTCOME BASED CURRICULUM DESIGN (Pages 01-09) by Dr. Ramasubramanian. P* and Mr. J. Muthu Erulappan** in THE INTERNATIONAL RESEARCH SPECIALIST / ISSN: 2350-1499 (Online); 2350-0751 (Print)

The course curriculum design of undergraduate engineering curriculum is based on its outcome in terms of its employability. The OBE plays vital role in producing high quality engineering graduates. To achieve this, a steady and continuous assessment in each course as well as industrial training is essential. Engineering graduates must have demonstrated abilities in mathematics, science, engineering, design, teamwork, ethics, communication, and life-long learning. The grades obtained by the student may be a reflection of the course success but most of the institutions do not provide skills, attitudes, communication to the students. This paper aims at designing an engineering curriculum, which will enable the students to equip themselves with the necessary skills, attitudes and communication to face the challenges of the contemporary society which is essentially scientific in nature. Moreover, the students will easily understand the purpose of their education, not being engineering graduates but real engineers.he course curriculum design of undergraduate engineering curriculum is based on its outcome in terms of its employability.
