Outcome based education focus on outcomes and not the quality of inputs and process within institutions. This new trend strengthens the student learning and teaching quality. The major hurdle in implementation of OBE is lack of uniform and universally accepted methodology.
This paper is an attempt to provide effective outcome-based assessment process which is more objective and minimizes ambiguity in implementation. The proposed methodology is applicable to laboratory courses in engineering education. Project based learning, direct attainment of course outcomes and up to 60 % reduction in assessment time are the strengths of proposed approach.
Proposed methodology is applied to Database management systems laboratory course which is a third year computer science and engineering course. Evaluation plan with knowledge/skills addressed and mapping with Bloom's taxonomy, experiment plan with deliverables, mapping with course outcomes and detailed assessment sheets with rubrics are presented.

IT industries expect critical & analytical thinking, programming skills, domain & technology knowledge and soft skills from CS/IT graduates. There is a need for investigation of outcome-based methods to inculcate complex problem-solving skills among graduates. This paper presents a roadmap for designing student learning outcomes, assessment methods, curriculum and active teaching-learning activities for CS/IT programme. The proposed roadmap incorporates project-based, problem-based and case study based teaching-learning and assessment strategies to address higher Bloom's level. The proposed roadmap of implemented for the 2015- 19 batch of CS&IT department, Rajarambapu Institute of Technology. The case study presents identified 13 student learning outcomes (SLOs) in line with program outcomes and current IT industry expectations. To achieve the SLOs, problem and project-based assessment methods and teaching-learning methods are designed. To calculate the success of the proposed roadmap, students' performance of 2015-19 batch is compared with ancestor batch 2014-18. The effectiveness of the proposed roadmap for inculcating complex problem solving is measured with percentage of higher levels of Bloom's addressed in assessment, attainment of student learning outcomes, attainment of students' employability skills and student's feedback. For all courses, performance of students of batch 2015-19 is better than batch 2014-18. The better performance is shown with highest and median marks. Batch 2015-19 shows better student learning outcomes and employability scores than batch 2014-18. The proposed roadmap is found better on all mentioned measures for inculcating complex problem-solving skills.Keywords

Outcome-based professional education processes are a new standard for all stakeholders and knowledge economy. Majority of the time the IT services/consulting industry demands graduates who shall be billable from day one of joining the enterprise. According to the National Employability Report Engineers 2019, only 3% of engineers possess new-age skills in areas such as AI, data analytics and mobile technologies. Academic project works shall be seen in the light of aforesaid observations and therefore suggests treating this as an opportunity to initiate undergraduates to more hands-on experiential learning considering the advancements in technology and market need. The objective of this paper is to identify the gap between the needs of the market/job trends and undergraduate CS/IT student projects areas. The second objective is to identify the factors affecting the project selection process. Our empirical study in general spanning over seven Engineering Institutes in western Maharashtra. The statistical data is collected from a controlled group of 4000 students. The data consists of project topics completed by students in the last nine years (from the year 2011 to the year 2019). Two indicators are used to understand the IT market. First, Gartner strategic technologies present the worldwide trend of technologies. Second, student project areas are compared with job trends in India. The student’s feedback on technology adoption theory presents the challenges in adoption of recent IT technologies in academic projects. 62% of students have reported unavailability of resources at the institute to encourage the adoption of the recent technologies. The student’s perception about the adoption of recent technologies needs to change.Keywords
