Alchemizing Education System by Developing 5 Layered Outcome Based Engineering Education (OBEE) Model

Abstract

This paper proposes an architecture for Outcome Based Engineering Education (OBEE). Outcome Based Education (OBE) is one of the most substantial move in Engineering Education in recent years. The paper suggests an innovative and productive way to achieve outcome based education by S. M. A. R. T (Specific, Measurable, Achivable, Reliastic, Time Bound) approach. This research emphasizes on SMART OBEE Architecture which an ideal teacher must follow. The architecture consist of 5 layers namely Build layer, Assessment layer, Feedback layer, Target layer and Time management layer. Build layer provides the direction towards development of Course Objectives. Through content delivery, teacher can assess the students using various assessment tools. A feedback can be taken from the students in order to enhance the quality of the course. Time management layer is an integrated layer and provides synchronization among all the activities in Engineering education framework which is drawn. The proposed system also defines the term SMART Teacher.
