WHAT IS OBE??? Definition

Outcome-Based Education (OBE) means clearly focusing and organizing everything in an educational system around what is essential for all students to be able to do successfully at the end of their learning experiences.
This means starting with a clear picture of what is important for students to be able to do, then organising the curriculum, instruction, and assessment to make sure that this learning ultimately happens. (Spady, 1994)
Hence, OBE is a process that involves the restructuring of curriculum, assessment and reporting practices in education (mechanical engineering education) to reflect the achievement of high order learning and mastery rather than accumulation of course credit
What will be involved in the process towards OBE?
Course Content - Reviewing course content to suit specified Learning Outcomes, current development, industrial needs, job specifications, professional body requirement (accreditation), etc.
Teaching-Learning Methods - Introducing innovative/flexible teaching methods/delivery tools to develop PEO and PLO in students/graduates Assessment & Evaluation Tools - Introducing variety of assessment and evaluation tools to measure the achievement of PEO and PLO.
Data & Evidence Collection - Collecting evidences of process involved and the achievement of the PEO and PLO.

ASSESSMENT
Student-centred Learning
The focus of teaching and learning is not what we teach but what we would like our students to learn and how we can help them achieve that. Teaching and assessment are then designed and to these outcomes. implemented to align
Examples of Student Centred Learning are: PBL / PO-PBL / Modular Approach / Active Learning
Learning Outcomes: The shift from teachers to students

Teacher - Students
Concerns for self
Teacher
- Student
Concerns for students/ impact of teaching on students
What will I teach? Are they learning what I teach? / What are the impacts of my teaching? / What can they do as a result of my teaching?
What will I teach next?

Behavioural objectives/ learning outcomes
Non-behavioural objectives
Outcomes Based Education focuses on students learning by:

1. Using learning outcome statements to make explicit what the student is expected to be able to know, understand or do; Providing learning activities which will help the student to reach these outcomes; Assessing the extent to which the student meets these outcomes through the use of explicit assessment criteria.

Some Real Benefits of OBE
Anticipation of real benefits

More directed & coherent curriculum Graduates will be more relevant to industry & other stakeholders (more well rounded graduates) Prepares students for life and work in the 21st Century Promotes high expectations and greater learning for all students Fosters more authentic forms of assessment i.e., students write to show they know how to use English well, or complete math problems to demonstrate their ability to solve problems Encourages decision making regarding curriculum, teaching methods, academic structure and management
Some Real Benefits of OBE

Advocated by Washington Accord (current permanent signatories, US, UK, Canada, Japan,)
Accredited Engineering Graduates are recognized by other signatory countries Possible employment as engineers in those countries without further examinations Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI) is an inevitable consequence
Stakeholders Expectations
Graduates competencies
Knowledge (technical, non-technical) Skills (technical, non-technical) Abilities (technical, non-technical) Attitude (core values, mindset, culture, etc.) Jobs (as engineers, etc.)
Some Stakeholders Requirement

Industry/Employers
Prospective employees have appropriate skills and knowledge
Alumni, Graduates and Students

Qualification acceptable in marketplace globally
