Course Outcomes, Specific Performance Indicators, Rubrics and Continuous Quality Improvement in a Core Undergraduate Electrical Engineering Course

Abstract

This paper presents the course outcomes, specific performance indicators, rubrics and teaching / learning methodologies / strategies adopted related to the ‘Signals and Systems’ course taught to the bachelor’s students of Electrical Engineering. It will discuss the mapping of course outcomes, and specific performance indicators with the ABET Student Outcomes, the rubrics used for the assessments and evaluations related to each specific performance indicator and how Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI) is implemented in the course of ‘Signal and Systems’ by modifying the course teaching / learning strategy in course delivery related to the failing course outcomes. And the impact of these teaching strategies on the performance of students is discussed in detail. And conclusions are drawn based on the teaching and learning methodologies adopted for improvement.
