Abstract

Outcome-Based Education (OBE) is a powerful framework which emphasizes on the outcomes of the course. OBE is the student-centred learning method that focuses on measuring the student performance. At the end of each course, student should fulfill the course outcomes.The purpose of this paper is to investigate and present an analysis report that gives the methodology to enhance the capabilities of a student from the existing courses by OBE based industry academy approach for embedded system design course. The objective for the Embedded Systems(ES) course enables the students to understand basics and program of an embedded system. It helps to learn and understand the method of designing, operating systems concepts, types and choosing an RTOS for an embedded system for any type of applications. It lets students design, implement and test an embedded system.The interaction between the Industry and Academia creates a path for the exchange of knowledge which is very crucial. Academia is the major source of knowledge for industry which provides required infrastructure and support to the Academia. This interaction provides a platform for the students to foster research interests. Through this paper, we have implemented Industry-Academia Approach (IAA) to meet the outcomes of industry oriented course and also discuss the outcomes of the projects that we have undertaken during and after the training program through the collaboration with the industry.

Abstract

The Outcome-Based Education (OBE) is a scholastic method that emphasizes on what students can learn after the completion of their course or programme. Today exploring different ideas and innovation of new techniques at inter-disciplinary areas are mandatory for a fresh engineering graduate. OBE is an active learning- teaching methodology providing solution for the above problem. The courses relating to different disciplines are integrated together to implement different innovative ideas in the area of engineering education. An Innovative Interdisciplinary Teaching and Learn ing Methodology (IDTLM) is essential in the area of Electronics and Computer Engineering Education at under graduate level or any other engineering area. This paper describes about the procedure to develop IDTLM and is successfully implemented for interdisciplinary courses like Operating System and Embedded System courses for engineering graduates at Vidya Jyothi Institute of Technology, Hyderabad. This paper presents the process of implementation of IDTLM for different engineering courses and how it is useful to develop course/open-ended/academic/in house/ mini/major projects in the area of Electronics and Communication Engineering Education. This paper also explores the effective usage of IDTLM with the case study results and is compared with benefits over the Conventional Methodology (CM). The result shows the better attainment values for Course Outcomes (COS) and Program Outcomes (POS) achieved using IDTLM i n OBE implementation.
