AN EMPIRICAL STUDY ON ASSESSMENT OF CO ATTAINMENT FOR A DIPLOMA COURSE

The key aspects in Outcome-Based Education (OBE) is the assessment of course outcomes. At the initial stage of OBE implementation, the Course Outcomes (CO’s) for each course are defined based on the Programme Outcome (PO’s) and other requirements. At the end of each course, the COs needs to be assessed and evaluated, to check whether it has been attained or not. This paper describes the background of the method used to assess the attainment of the COs and the results produced for the Applied Physics course in diploma engineering. This assessment was conducted for one of the programs of first year diploma with strength of 60 students. T
