OBJECTIVES:

To meet the challenge of ensuring excellence in engineering education, the issue of quality
needs to be addressed, debated and taken forward in a systematic manner. Accreditation is the
principal means of quality assurance in higher education. The major emphasis of
accreditation process is to measure the outcomes of the program that is being accredited.
In line with this, Faculty of Institute of Aeronautical Engineering, Hyderabad has taken a lead
in incorporating philosophy of outcome based education in the process of problem solving
and career development. So, all students of the institute should understand the depth and
approach of course to be taught through this question bank, which will enhance learners
learning process
