1.1.1 EducationView
Education is a process in which one imparts or acquires knowledge, skills, values, ethics and attitude to act respectfully, knowledgeably and wisely, to provide solutions of different problems and to build environment for further learning. -
1.1.2 Difference between formal and informal educationView
When a person learns through the well-defined curriculum, system and processes defined by the institution it is called formal education. When a person learns through daily life experiences it is called informal education. -
1.1.3 Educational outputs and educational outcomes (or outcomes)View
These are the measure of performance of students represented in certain parameters such as marks obtained, pass percentage, class average marks, number of backlogs, ranks of students, etc. It is easy to define outputs. These are quantitative parameters and easy to evaluate the attainment.
-
1.2.1 Output-based educationView
Traditional education system is an output-based education system (or input-output based duction), where student undergoes through a system of teaching-learning and evaluation processes. Outputs are measured in terms of performance of students such as marks obtained, pass percentage, class average marks, number of backlogs, ranks of students, etc. -
1.2.2 Outcome-based educationView
In an outcome-based education system, students undergo through a system of teaching-learning and evaluation processes in which outcomes are measured in terms of acquired ability in skills, knowledge and attitude (or behavior) by the students. -

2.1.1 Vision statementView
Vision is a futuristic statement that the institution would like to achieve over a long period of timeand Mission is the means by which it proposes to move toward the stated Vision. So, Mission statements are essentially the means to achieve the vision of the institution. -
2.1.2 Difference between vision and missionView

-
2.2 Defining VisionView
Each institute must have the vision statement and each department of an institute shall also have the vision statement in alignment with the vision statement of the institute. -
2.2.1 Review of Vision statementView
The simple way to review any vision statement is to identify the aspiration and objective/strategy/purpose in the statement. Then do reasoning for which part is the stronger than other. Take an example of vision statement, ‘promoting global understanding by imparting quality education’. The part of the statement, ‘promoting global understanding’ implies to take measures to prepare students for global awareness. The remaining part, ‘by imparting quality education’ implying for global standard education system to make students with global understanding. But, in the entire vision statement, there is no such emphasis on what recognition the institute is aiming for. The vision statement seems to be a part of some mission statement.
-
2.3 Defining MissionView
As the mission statements need to embed the means to achieve the vision of an institute. The befitting roadmap(mission) is essential to get to goal(vision). Hence, vision statement must be taken as the basis for defining mission statement. Let’s make an attempt for a systematic approach to define the mission statements. Following steps can be adopted while defining mission statements.
-
2.4 Consistency between Vision and MissionView
Mission must be defined in consistence with vision. If vison and mission statement are already defined, then the consistency between vision and mission can be justified by the following steps.

What is Program Educational Objective (PEO)?View
Program educational objectives (PEOs) are the broad statement of career and professional accomplishments of graduates that a program is preparing them to achieve within a few years of graduation. A program in fact prepares students with expected knowledge, skills and attitude such that after becoming graduates they can demonstrate career accomplishment to fulfil the PEOs of the program. -

Table 3.1: Difference between Objective of a program and Program Educational Objective
-
3.2 Defining PEOsView
PEOs must be defined for each program separately. Three to four PEOs may be defined for each program and each PEO is a broad statement -
3.2.1 Dimension of accomplishment of GraduatesView
While defining a PEO, it is better to identify the broad area(s) of accomplishment graduates. Further we can mention specific achievement we want our graduates to achieve.some broad areas of accomplishment and some related specific achievements are given below. -
3.2.2 Approach for defining PEOsView
PEOs are broad statements of achievement and accomplishment of graduates. These are also the ambition of program owner for their students when they go to job fields after graduation. the following two-step approachcan be followed while defining PEOs.
-
3.3 Difference between mission of the department and PEOView
Table 3.3: Difference between mission and PEOs -
3.3.1 Connection between Mission and PEOsView
It is required to justify the consistency between mission and PEOs. This is an essential component in the self assessment report (SAR) for program level accreditation by national board of accreditation (India). Leadership deployment, systems, processes, supports and recourses must be in place to yield the program outcomes. Attainment of Program outcomes shall ensure good competency among graduates. PEOs of a program shall be met if students accomplish in the organization. Graduates can accomplish and achieve in career if they a have good competency. Usually the means of achievement and strategy are embedded in mission statements. Hence, mission and PEOs must be defined with consistency.
-
3.4 Consistency between mission and PEOsView
We know that mission is defined in alignment with aspiration of recognition and the objective of institution as stated in vision. However, it also equally important to ensure the alignment of mission with PEOs. The action points in the mission must be oriented towards the development of graduate attributes that are required for graduate for accomplishment in their professional career. To establish consistency between mission and PEOs, the following steps may be adopted.
-
3.5 Process of defining PEOsView
Program educational objectives shall be defined and finalized in the departmentas a new program is launched.The PEOs shall be revised after collecting the feedback from alumni and employers. Since we expect our graduate to meet the PEOs through their professional career in 2-3 years after their graduation, the PEOs may be modified after 6-7 years since the launch of a program (a four year program).

5.1 Graduate AttributesView
Students take admission in programs of higher study to become graduates. Students will undergo a bunch courses and activities to earn credits through evaluation to complete the requirement of the program to get the degree. Students are expected to acquire some qualities and standards of knowledge, skills attitudes during their entire duration of study of the program which are called graduate attributes. The quality and standard of graduates are represented by some indicators which are called graduate attributes. Some examples graduate attributes are; sound knowledge, problem solving, design, team work, leadership, environment & sustainability, ethics, etc.

6.2 Key performance Indicators related to POsView
In the definition of each PO, a set of ability regarding knowledge, skills and attitudes are incorporated in the statement. Each of such ability in the statement is called key performance indicator. Hence, there are set of key performance indicators (KPI) in each PO statement. We can enlist the key performance indicators for each PO as shown below.
-
6.3.1 Background for PSOView
Before defining a PSO we need to explore the background for it. The big question on PSO; what are the cognitive skills and soft skills that are not covered under POs defined by NBA and need to be considered to be defined in a separate statements in the form of PSO. For same program, different department (of different institutes) may define different PSOs. -
6.3 Program Specific OutcomeView
NBA has given twelve program outcomes for all engineering programs. These are the common graduate attributes expected from every engineering graduate. Although these are common definition for all engineering programs, still graduates will acquire knowledge and skills their respective programs. For example, the skill to use modern tools relates to PO5, but knowledge of modern tools of graduate of computer science and engineering may be different from the knowledge of modern tools of mechanical engineering. Since students of a particular engineering program shall study some specific courses, laboratory and activities, they may acquire some very program specific knowledge and skills that will be different from other program of study. Hence, it is advisable to define some program specific outcomes (PSOs) over and above the POs given by NBA. -

7.1 Structure of course outcomesView
Course outcomes are student learning outcomes that students will achieve after going through the course. The course outcomes articulate what students will know (i.e., knowledge), what student will be able to do (i.e., skills) and how they will do (attitudes or behaviour). The level of knowledge and ability of execution are measurable, and behavioural demonstration is observable. -
7.1.1 Part 1: Verb to qualify KSA:View
Usually the definition of the course outcome starts with the phrase, “students will be able to….”. The phrase is immediately followed by a verb to represent the KSA. Table 4.1 shows the useful verbs which are linked to different levels of Bloom’s cognitive taxonomy. -
7.1.2 Part 2: Subject matter of KSAView
The part 1 shall follow the part 2 in which the content of the subject shall be mentioned on which student are expected to acquire the KSA. For example, ‘design digital counter for synchronous and asynchronous clock using flip flops.’ Here, ‘digital counter’ is the content and students are expected to design digital circuits for synchronous and asynchronous counters using any flip flop. The verb ‘design’ links to level six of bloom’s cognitive taxonomy and it is assessable and measurable. -
7.1.3 Part 3: Context and/or achievement of KSAView
This part of the CO statement is optional. If required the condition of performance of students can be written in a specific context. For example, in a IoT based system development course, CO can be defined, ‘develop an IoT based system coding to connect sensors to internet using instructional manual of raspberry pi”. Students shall demonstrate the coding skills on IoT platform and they can use instructional manual for raspberry pi. Hence student will be performing coding taking help manual.
-
7.2.1 Valid statement:View
