Abstract
This study is in relation to Washington Accord (WA), Pakistan Engineering Council, aimed for incorporation of Outcome Based Education (OBE) system. Pakistan has signed the accord and has incorporate it in engineering university and is in the process to phase-out the conventional system. For the purpose to know about its implementation status and benefits, this study was conducted in Mechanical department of CECOS University Peshawar. For this purpose one class of forty four students was selected for the analysis of two subjects (Applied Physics and Applied Chemistry) for fall semester 2017. The results revealed that percentage of pass students was in conventional system was 77.27%. in comparison the percentage of pass students was 76.13 in applied physics. In the subject of applied chemistry, percentage of pass students was 68.18 in conventional system and 48.86 in OBE system. In the light of this it was concluded that conventional system is more comfortable for the students. It was also found that all the three domine of Bloom taxonomy were not practices. Due to this, OBE system seems to be a little complicated and difficult for student to follow. The OBE system is still in its preliminary stage and need some improvements in assignments, quizzes and lectures.
