Outcome Based Education—Some Initiatives ()
Abstract
Engineers & technologists contribute significantly
in our social development, economic progress, and enhancement of social and physical
infrastructure. Industry in general and manufacturing in particular are facing unprecedented
challenges due to globalization. Consequently, the business environment of manufacturing
enterprises is facing increasing complexity. The engineering graduates and researchers
with the ability to understand the technological complexities, the creative arts
and skills are increasingly sought after by industrial and business world. Team-based
activities are of great importance for students to learn and tackle and solve the
complex global issues at later life. Self study and own initiatives of engineering
students at learning stage enable and sharpen them to emerge out as highly acceptable
engineers. The Washington Accord which emphasizes on outcome based learning is gaining
increasing acceptance among many countries.
