In Outcome Based Education, defining Course Outcomes, content delivery and evaluation methods complement each other resulting in effective learning. Study of Control systems is vital in Electronics Engineering so that the graduate develops ability to design a system, component, or process to meet desired stability needs. However, in Electrical Networks and Control System Engineering it is experienced that students find it difficult to understand concepts of frequency domain analysis. and control system components. The related course outcomes attainment is less than the expected level. This paper focuses on detailing the methods used to attain the course outcomes by linking the two courses viz. Electrical Networks and Control System Engineering. It also discusses the effect on performance of students in Control System Engineering course after improvisations in content delivery and assessment tools.The feedback of students shows that students are motivated to learn better with this approach.Keywords

Curriculum design is a very important academic process in engineering education. The curriculum should deal with needs of industry and keep pace with upcoming technologies at the same time create a sound fundamental base for a graduating engineer. It is always expected to attain graduate attributes to a larger extent. Hence it is very important to continuously monitor the gaps in the curriculum and update it.
Analysis of curriculum is always a matter of concern but a subjective task to be accomplished.
The purpose of this paper is to provide insight into model developed for understanding distribution of courses in various thrust areas, linkages in curriculum and mapping of curriculum to programme outcomes (PO). This model will help in identifying weakly mapped PO, contribution of a course in PO and defining Program Specific Outcomes (PSO).
The paper discusses a curriculum analysis of one programme in an autonomous self-financed college in University of Mumbai.

For success of any autonomous Engineering college, faculty members are the pillars of all academic processes. It is the collective responsibility of them to develop program specific curriculum, effective implementation of teaching-learning and evaluation process. A faculty member is expected to have knowledge of outcome based education (OBE), ICT tools, pedagogy features, innovative assessment methods along with a sound technical base, research attitude and confidence in delivering the contents
The recruitment process of an assistant professor for such herculean task is challenging especially when there are a large number of eligible candidates. With inappropriate decision, there is threat to the efficiency and effectiveness of an institution.
An innovative decision for recent recruitment process in an autonomous institute involved three steps: Written-test for technical skills and other skills related to job responsibilities for all eligible candidates, presentations by shortlisted candidates on the topic of the candidate's choice and finally personal interview by the panel for shortlisted candidates.
Out of more than a thousand applicants selection of best suitable thirteen faculty members was possible due to this innovative step.
The feedback obtained from candidates, assessors, and persons involved in decision making are quite encouraging. Majority of them have expressed that the process and questions related to job responsibilities were useful to select best suited candidate and also to set right expectations of a role.
