Outcome-Based Education — A Case Study on Project Based Learning

Abstract

After implementation of NBA accreditation in Engineering Institutes, Outcome-Based learning is broadly being experienced in India. In the engineering education, this Project-Based learning is considered as one of the efficient ways as it is a blending of theoretical and practical learning. This paper illustrates implementation of the Project-Based Learning activity. An experimental case study was carried out with the group of students studying in third-year Mechanical Engineering and Electronics & Telecommunication Engineering stream. Different interdisciplinary projects were assigned to both discipline students. The comparative effect of this activity on the performance of students was studied considering pre and post activity performance statistics. In conclusion, study result proved that Project-Based Learning improves performance of the students.
