Course Outcomes Attainment Analysis using Automated Tool - IONCUDOS

Abstract

In recent years the shift towards outcome-based education (OBE) has become one of the most important trends in engineering education. Along with technology transformations, outcome-based education plays an important role in reforming the engineering education. We, at Rajarambapu Institute of Technology sensitize these reforms and encourage the implementation of OBE for every course at our institute. For better accuracy the institute has also adopted a standardized automated/computerized system - IONCUDOS for the implementation of OBE. It begins with defining the course outcomes for each course. And then assessing these course outcomes to check whether they are attained or not at the end of the course. This paper examines the attainment of course outcomes for Discrete Mathematics course offered to the second year of engineering at the department of Information Technology, Rajarambapu Institute of Technology (RIT), Sakharale, Maharashtra. The course outcome attainment analysis incorporates two methods: 1) Direct method and 2) Indirect method. The observations of this analysis are then used for continuous quality improvement of the education at RIT.
