EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The objective of this report is to summarise the efforts undertaken at the Department of
Mechanical Engineering to adopt and implement the outcome based education (OBE) system.
The BE Mechanical programme is currently the only taught undergraduate programme in
the Department of Mechanical Engineering. The programme has clearly defined programme
educational objectives (PEOs) and programme learning outcomes (PLOs). The training
phase for OBE system understanding started back in 2012, when PEC arranged workshops
for awareness about OBE system. The training process continued during 2013 and 2014. The
implementation of OBE system was carried out in Fall 2014.
During the initial phase of the OBE system implementation, gap analysis was carried out to
identify the steps required to convert the existing system of education. The Department of
Mechanical Engineering has always had a very rigorous system of quality checks based on
student, alumni, faculty and industrial feedbacks. However, the existing system was either
not explicit about some of the requirements of the OBE system or evidences about the OBE
required measures were not being collected. Such gaps between the OBE system and the
existing education system were identified and corresponding actions were completed.
The design of OBE system was completed and the system is fully implemented from Fall,
2014. The first assessment of course learning outcomes (CLOs) and corresponding PLOs
were carried out in March 2015. Assessment of each student as well as for the student cohort
was carried out. Assessment of CLO and PLO attainment for the Spring 2015 and complete
academic year were carried out in July 2015. These assessments show that during the first
academic year of OBE system implementation, the achievement of PLOs remained
satisfactory. As part of CQI process, corrective actions were identified and remedies were
implemented to improve the system.
In summary, an extensive exercise was carried out at the Department of Mechanical
Engineering to convert the existing education system to the OBE system. Design of the OBE
system is complete and the system has been implemented.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
A. History
National University of Sciences and Technology (NUST) is one of the leading universities
of the country. Its main campus is situated in Sector H-12, Islamabad. The School of
Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering (SMME) is one of the engineering schools and
is located in Sector H-12, Islamabad Campus of NUST. In January 2007, the school started
as Institute of Manufacturing Engineering (IME) in a hired building in Sector F-11,
Islamabad. The institute was established with the funding from the Islamic Development
Bank. The institute was renamed as School of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering
(SMME) in August 2008 and various departments were established in the school in years to
follow.
Anticipating the delivery of the laboratory equipment and realizing the need for more space,
the school was allocated a building in Sector H-12 Campus of NUST in 2008 and SMME
was moved to the new location. In parallel to the construction of the new building,
installation of the lab equipment was carried out. Meanwhile, planning for launch of
Mechanical Engineering at the undergraduate and Industrial & Manufacturing Engineering
at the postgraduate level was undertaken. The approval of the curriculum was obtained from
the Academic Council of NUST in 2008. In August 2009, Dr Abdul Ghafoor was appointed
as the new Principal/Dean of the School. From October 2009, SMME became fully
functional with the induction of 40 undergraduate students of Mechanical Engineering and
13 postgraduate students of Industrial & Manufacturing Engineering.
The School is running undergraduate programme in Mechanical Engineering and
postgraduate programmes in Mechanical Engineering (ME), Robotics & Intelligent Machine
Engineering (RIME), Design & Manufacturing Engineering (DME) and Biomedical
Engineering and Sciences (BMES). The programmes have been developed to meet the
expectations of today’s corporate and industry leaders. The graduates of SMME are trained
to eventually lead the industry in its effort to meet the challenges posed by domestic and
global competition. These graduates will have the knowledge of corporate culture, its
internal and external competitive pressures, leadership qualities, team performance, and an
expanded understanding of technologies required for industry for effective utilization of
human and financial resource.
Keeping in view the number of students and required lecture rooms, laboratories and allied
facilities, a new building for SMME was constructed in Sector H-12 Campus and the school
was shifted to the new building in 2014.
B. Organisational Structure
The Department of Mechanical Engineering is the part of the School of Mechanical and
Manufacturing Engineering (SMME) whereas, SMME is one of the schools of National

C. Programme Delivery Mode and Location
The Department of Mechanical Engineering offers the BE Mechanical programme courses

during the week days between the hours of 09:00 am and 05:00 pm at Sector H-12 campus,
Islamabad. Courses are generally offered in fall and spring semesters. Selected courses are
offered during the summer semester. Most of the courses are delivered in the lecture format
and there is a laboratory component to some core courses. In addition to the lectures, project
work is also part of many courses, allowing students to solve complex and open ended
engineering problems. A dedicated, six credit hour final year project, is carried out by
students during the seventh and eight semester. Students are also required to complete a
mandatory industrial internship.
D. Accreditation
The undergraduate mechanical engineering programme of the Department of Mechanical

Engineering is currently accredited by PEC according to PEC accreditation manual 2007.
The first accreditation visit of PEC was held on 12 August, 2009. The visit was conducted
to check the overall state of the department. This successful visit was followed by the interim
PEC team visit on 2 March, 2012. A change of scope visit was carried out on 13 September,
P

20
2012. The first accreditation visit of PEC was held on 25 March, 2013 and the Mechanical
Engineering programme was accredited for one year. The re-accreditation visit was held on
15 May, 2014 and the programme was re-accredited for two more years. The accreditation
history of the Mechanical Engineering Department is provided in Table 1.

1.4 Process to Evaluate Achievement of PEOs
The overall process of assessment and evaluation of PEOs and continuous quality
improvement (CQI) is shown in Figure 3. The complete CQI process is based on three
concentric loops for assessment and evaluation. The PEOs are related to PLOs (Programme
Learning Outcomes) and CLOs (Course Learning Outcomes) that are described in later
sections.
Various stakeholders are shown in the flowchart that participate in the decision making
process. The decision making process is explained in following paragraphs.
NUST is governed by a Board of Governors. Under the Board of Governors, NUST has an
Executive Council and an Academic Council. Feedback and collaboration is also provided
by other collaborating institutions. SMME has Faculty Board of Studies (FBS) and
Departmental Board of Studies (DBS) to handle various aspects of academic matters. The
feedback is provided by the school faculty and students, as well as by the alumni. The school
also has a Corporate Advisory Council (CAC) that comprises of industrial representatives
who advise the school in matters of education objectives, curriculum development, and
industrial requirements. Feedback is also provided by the employers.
FBS/DBS
Figure 3: Processes involved in establishing and reviewing PEOs, PLOs and CLOs

28
The feedback system is based on the following components.
1.4.1 Alumni Survey

The academics branch of SMME conducts survey of graduating students about quality of the
programme. Alumni survey is also conducted by the academics branch to obtain feedback
from the graduates regarding the adequacy of the mechanical engineering programme. The
alumni feedback form is given at Annexure A.
1.4.2 Employers Survey

The academics branch of SMME conducts survey of employers about the quality of the
SMME graduates and their performance in field. The employer’s feedback form is given in
Annexure B.
1.4.3 Review Process of PEOs

Measurement of the defined PEOs will be carried out by indirect assessment methods after
3-5 years of graduation. Surveys from employers / industry and alumni will be conducted
periodically. Graduating student surveys and faculty feedback are being collected. However,
the alumni and employers survey will be conducted after a period of 3-5 years of graduation
of a mechanical engineering class. Since the first class of students of SMME passed out in
year 2013, this data will be compiled in year 2016. Once this process starts, it will be carried
out every year as a class of students is graduating every year.
The surveys will be carried out and their results will be compiled by the Academics Branch
of SMME. An analysis report will be presented by the Academics Branch to the review
committee comprising of Principal, Dean, Director Local Quality Enhancement Cell, Head
of the Department and CAC member. The review committee will recommend improvements
/ modifications / enhancements (if required) and implementation will be carried out by
academics branch. Figure 2 depicts this process in the form of a flow chart.

1.5 Using Obtained Results to Improve Programme Effectiveness
1.5.1 Performance Indicators for PEOs

A minimum attainment level for each PEO has been defined along with its method of
measurement. The measurement of PEO is carried out using indirect assessment tools. A
single PEO has multiple performance indicators. The details of performance indicators and
their measurement methods are listed in Table 1. Percentages of KPIs, as mentioned in Table
1, are calculated from alumni and employer surveys based on a score of 3 and greater from
scale of 1 to 5. In case, multiple survey questions are attributed to the calculation of a single
KPI, equal weightage is given to each question. All KPIs related to a PEO must be attained
to achieve the relevant PEO.

1.5.2 Gap analysis as per Old Accreditation and OBE system

The mechanical engineering programme is based on strong foundations since its inception.
A comprehensive quality management system was in place. Both direct and indirect methods
were used to monitor and improve the programme. However, some of the requirements of
the OBE system were not explicitly covered in the existing system. A comparison of the
existing and OBE system was carried out to identify the gaps between the two systems. The
identified gaps are listed in Table 2. The identified requirements were then fulfilled before
the full implementation of the OBE system.
Table 3: Identified gaps between the existing system and OBE system.

1.5.3 Faculty training for the implementation of OBE

The importance of proper training before the implementation of a new system can never be
over emphasized. The training for OBE started back in 2012 when PEC started organizing
seminars and workshops about OBE system. These activities continued during 2013 and
2014. A number of events were held at NUST and the department of mechanical engineering
for training of the faculty and staff. At SMME, a weekly faculty meeting takes place and
OBE awareness has been made a permanent part of the meeting agenda. A list of events held
for OBE training is provided in Table 3.

2.5 Process of Data Gathering and Results of Assessment of PLOs
PLOs of the mechanical engineering programme are evaluated for two purposes.
(i) Each student has to pass all twelve PLOs during the four year degree programme.
This requirement is in addition to the GPA requirements of the programme. This
assessment is referred to as Student PLO assessment in this document.
(ii) Each PLO is also assessed to ensure the quality of the mechanical engineering
programme. This assessment is referred to as Programme PLO assessment in this
document.
PLOs are reviewed once a year at the end of the academic year. The attainment of the twelve
defined PLOs is assessed directly from the attainment of the CLOs and indirectly through
graduating student survey. CLOs are defined for each subject in the curriculum of the
mechanical engineering programme.

43
2.5.1 Direct Assessment
Direct assessment of PLOs is carried out from the assessment of CLOs pertaining to a
particular PLO. The process of student PLO assessment is described in detail, with the help
of an example, in Section 3.7.
2.5.2 Indirect Assessment

Indirect assessment is carried out using graduating student survey, which is collected at the
time of the graduation. The graduating student survey results are only used in Programme
PLO assessments.
KPIs for student and programme PLO assessment are given in Table 8.

The data of PLO attainment for each student, based on the CLO attainment data, is compiled
by the Academics Branch of SMME and is presented to the review committee. The review
committee consists of Principal, Dean, Director Local Quality Enhancement Cell, Head of
the Department and faculty members.

44
In case a PLO is not attained, the committee would investigate the causes and recommend a
corrective action, which would be implemented through Academics Branch. Corrective
action form has been designed and is attached as Annexure ‘N’.
2.6.1 Results of PLO attainment obtained through direct assessment

In this section, the assessment data and evaluation of each PLO is presented. A description
of the data collected to assess the PLO is provided and summary tables and graphs of the
results are included. The summary data is evaluated based on required levels of attainment
as described in previous sections. Based on the evaluation of all the assessment data, three
types of conclusions are drawn.
(i) Students meet the requirement and no action is required
(ii) Students meet the requirement with some room for improvement
(iii) Students do not meet the requirements and action is required
After individual evaluation of each outcome, a summary table of evaluations for all PLOs is
provided. This section provides the assessment and data of PLO attainment for the
programme. The student’s evaluation of PLO attainment is discussed in section 3.7.
2.6.1.1 Engineering Knowledge
The table given below shows the assessment methods and minimum level of achievement
used to evaluate PLO 1.
46T PLO 1: Engineering Knowledge

An ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science, engineering fundamentals and an
engineering specialization to the solution of complex engineering problems
Assessment Method Minimum Level of Achievement

marks
Graduating student survey Obtained at least 60% of average score in the
PO assessment survey based on a score of 3
and greater from scale of 1 to 5
During their four years of study, students in the mechanical engineering programme take a
number of courses to achieve a proper background in mathematics, science, and engineering
fundamentals. PLO 1 is assessed by multiple courses using direct assessment tools such as
assignments, class projects and exam questions. Courses contributing to PLO 1 assessment
are listed in Table 9.

It can be seen from the direct assessment results that the percentage of students attaining
50% in PLO 1 is meeting the minimum attainment level of 60%. Since the available data is
for one academic year only, thus no further action is considered at this stage. However, if
the attainment level of the PLO remains high enough, the minimum attainment level may be
revised at a later stage.

2.7 Student Work and Other Evidence that Demonstrate Achievement of the PLOs
Samples copies of marked tests / evaluations, which contain CLO related questions, are
maintained in the respective course folders and complete record is maintained in the
examination branch of SMME. In addition to the exams and tests, the details of the final year
project is given in the subsequent section. Students are also assigned open ended problems
during various courses. Such projects are evaluated using rubrics developed by the
concerned faculty members. Progress reports of PLO attainment of students and overall PLO
attainment are maintained through software in the Exam branch of SMME.
2.8 Course Learning Outcomes
2.8.1 Process for Establishing and Reviewing CLOs

CLOs were developed as part of the course curriculum. The assessment of the CLOs form
the basis of the direct assessment of the PLOs. For each course of the mechanical engineering
programme, CLOs are defined as part of the course curriculum. The level of learning is also
defined for each CLO. The learning levels are based on Bloom’s Taxonomy. The three
learning domains of the Bloom’s taxonomy; cognitive, affective and psychomotor, are also
defined with learning levels by using an alphabetic prefix. C is used for cognitive, A for
affective and P for psychomotor domain. Thus, a level of learning of C4 for a CLO means
that the CLO relates to the fourth learning level of cognitive domain.
The assessment methods for CLOs are selected by the faculty based on the learning domain.
Assessment methods forms a part of the teaching / lesson plan. The CLOs are assessed during
the semester by using assignments, presentations, viva, one hour tests, etc. and at the end of
each semester in end semester exam.

61
KPIs for CLO assessment are given in Table 32.

Data of CLO attainment is compiled by the Exam Branch and reviewed by the Head of the
Department to identify further actions. If a considerable number of students fail to attain
CLOs, a review takes place at the end of the semester. Flowchart in Figure 6 details the
process and levels of CLO attainment, which results in corrective actions. The corrective
actions are implemented through Academics Branch.

CRITERION 3: CURRICULUM AND LEARNING PROCESS
The curricula of the Mechanical Engineering programme was developed keeping in view
the guidelines provided by HEC/PEC.
3.1 Consistency of Programme Structure and Course Contents in Development of

Intellectual and Practical Skills and Attainment of PLOs
The mechanical engineering programme curriculum is designed to fulfil the programme

learning outcomes and course learning outcomes. Each semester is of approximately 18
weeks duration. The mechanical engineering programme duration is four years and is offered
on a full time basis.
3.1.1 Curriculum Design

The curriculum of the BE Mechanical programme was devised based on the needs of all
stakeholders. The curriculum is broadly divided in engineering and non-engineering courses.
The engineering domain includes engineering fundamentals, breadth and depth, and elective
courses. A comprehensive final year project is also part of the curriculum. The contents of
breadth and depth courses are selected to provide students with knowledge of overall as well
as specialised areas of engineering. A number of courses include complex engineering and
open ended problems that allow the students to apply their knowledge and critical thinking
and gain an in depth understanding of theory. The non-engineering domain contains courses
are related to humanities, natural sciences, and management sciences. These courses develop
skills of project management, team work, communication, entrepreneurship, ethical and
moral responsibilities and sustainable development. The mix of engineering and non-
engineering courses is in accordance with the national guidelines provided by the HEC /
PEC.
Summary of the curriculum of mechanical engineering programme is given in Table 33.The
BE Mechanical programme was also benchmarked with the ABET accredited Mechanical
Engineering programme of IOWA State University and Purdue University and can be seen
in Table 33. The comparison shows that the engineering fundamentals and computing credit
hours are in-line with the benchmarked universities, whereas the credit hours of breadth and
depth engineering courses are on higher side.

3.1.5 Contribution of Courses towards PLOs

CLOs have been defined for each course and are linked to the related PLOs. The learning
level of each CLO was also defined. CLO learning levels have been defined in the three
learning domains of cognitive, psychomotor and affective domain. CLOs of a particular
course may fall in one or more than one domain. In case, multiple CLOs are contributing to
the same PLO, the highest learning level of a course is considered to be the overall learning
level of a course. Mapping of CLOs with PLOs is given in Table 6 and Table 7.
3.2 Consistency of Programme Delivery and Assessment Methods and their Support
in Development of Intellectual and Practical Skills and PLO Attainment
Academic calendar is prepared by the Academics Branch SMME at the start of the semester
and is forwarded to all concerned. Concerned faculty prepares the teaching / lesson plans,
which are forwarded to the Academics Branch and are uploaded on the learning management
system (LMS) before the start of the semester. A course folder is maintained during the
semester for each course. Updating of the course folder is the responsibility of the concerned
faculty member.
3.2.1 Teaching Methods

Teaching method are made an integral part of the teaching / lesson plan. Faculty members
select an appropriate teaching method according to the learning level and desired outcomes.
The teaching methods include presentations, lectures, videos, assignments, complex
engineering problems and open ended problems. Sample lesson plans are attached as
Annexure ‘E’.
3.2.2 Assessment Methods

Selection of assessment methods is carried out by the concerned faculty members. The
faculty members may choose from the various assessment methods available including case
study, problem solving, oral speech, projects, reports, surveys, rubrics, examinations, etc.
The assessment methods for a particular course are included in teaching / lesson plans. A
sample of teaching / lesson plan is attached as Annexure E and a sample rubric is attached
as Annexure F.

76
3.3 Internship Programme
An internship of 4-8 Weeks duration on pass/fail basis, in relevant industries, is compulsory

for all students of mechanical engineering programme. The school ensures at least one
internship for every student after 2nd year of the programme during four years stay. 100%
internship was arranged for 2010 and 2011 entry students. The internships offered during

3.4 Final Year Project
The final year project is assigned to solve a complex engineering problem based on the
knowledge and skills achieved while studying the mechanical engineering programme. A
comprehensive policy has been prepared to assign, track, evaluate and assess the final. The
purpose of the policy is to provide a uniform system of guidelines to students and supervising
faculty to realize their Bachelors of Engineering (BE) Final Year Projects (FYP). The aim
of the FYP is to give each student the opportunity to experience the engineering design
process in the context of a topic related to the Mechanical Engineering curriculum while
working in a less structured environment. The projects can be undertaken individually or in
small teams. In the latter case the student must still fulfill the requirements laid out by the
departmental policy. The Academic Supervisor is a faculty member of SMME.
CLOs for the final year project are defined as the part of the FYP policy. The progress of
FYP is monitored in various steps throughout the project duration. The FYP is offered in
seventh semester and continues in eight semester. Each group is required to prepare a
progress report and deliver a presentation to the examination committee towards the end of
the seventh semester. Each group is also required to make a poster of their project and submit
it to the UG Coordinator. At the end of the project, students are required to submit four
hardbound copies of the FYP report. A standardised template has been prepared for the FYP
report (Template given in document ME FYP/03). A project CD is also required which must
contain the following items:
 FYP report
 Software developed (if any, along with the code)
 Final defence Presentation
 All other material consulted/utilized
 Project submission certification (Form Annex VIII given in FYP policy)
Assessment of the FYP is carried out by the examination committee. The students will be
graded by an examination committee consisting of three to five members of which the
supervisor must be a part. The assessment criteria is given in Table 36.

3.5 Laboratory Assessment
The laboratory courses CLOs are generally in psychomotor and affective domain and their
assessment is carried out using rubrics. Generalised rubrics have been developed for all the
laboratory courses of the mechanical engineering programme. A rubric is used for the
assessment of the performance of the student during the experiments. The rubric is
completed for each student based on the faculty observations during performance of
experimentation and the written reports submitted by the students.
Sample CLOs for the ME-222 Mechanics and Manufacturing Lab I are given in Table 37.
The assessment rubrics for the same laboratory are given as Annexure ‘F’.

3.6 Complex Engineering Problems / Open Ended Problems:
Apart from the final year project, students are given various complex engineering problems
and open ended assignments in different courses. Such problems may be assigned to
individual students or group of students. The intent is to develop analytical, logical,
reasoning and research skills of the students. Open ended complex engineering problems
also provide a chance to exercise the learned concepts in a close to field environment where
scenarios are not closely defined. The complex engineering / open ended problems are
offered in several courses, as listed in Table 38.

3.6.1 A working model of Baal’s Wind Tunnel
A wind tunnel is a specially designed chamber to achieve a required velocity of air for the
testing of objects by subjecting them to high velocity air and measure its response to it. Large
scale models are currently being used in industries and research institutes for a wide range
of purposes. Scaled down models are also being used in educational institutes for learning
and research purposes. The object of this project was to design a Baal’s wind tunnel small
in size but capable of measuring air velocity, lift and drag exerted on the test object placed
inside it. A wind tunnel capable of producing flow rates up to 6000 CFM and with the ability
to test small scale models. The wind tunnel is to be able to measure the lift, drag and weight
of the object under study while also being able to accurately measure the wind velocity and
the temperature of air in the test section.

82
3.6.2 Trailing Link Rear Suspension
This project was created using the tools provided by Pro/Engineer software. The trailing
links, shock absorber and different supports were created in part mode; and later assembled
in the assembly mode of Pro/Engineer. The parts were assembled using pin, cylinder and
ball joints at various locations to restrict or modify the degrees of freedom of any part(s).
The mechanism application demonstrates the working of this suspension when the wheel
comes in contact with a pothole or bump on a road.

83
3.7 Example Case Study of the PLO / CLO Assessment and Evaluation Process:
In this section, an example case study is provided to illustrate the process of PLO / CLO
assessment procedure. The case study is based on fictitious data.
Each course has a number of CLOs defined, which are provided in teaching plan and are
placed in the course folder. The learning level and domain of each CLO is also defined based
on the Bloom’s Taxonomy. In this case study, we consider the subject of Mechanics of
Materials II. The defined CLOs for the subject along with the Bloom’s Taxonomy level are
provided below:

question
For this particular course, the CLO1 is to be checked in first one hour test by an examination
question. Thus, the question paper for the first one hour test includes a question pertaining
to CLO1. The sample examination question from the first one hour test is given below:
Q-3: (CLO 1) Analyse the given beam cross section to find the maximum
magnitude of the bending moment M that can be applied to the beam so that
the bending stress in the member does not exceed 12 ksi. Marks
(10)

85
The marks of the above questions will be used for evaluation of CLO1 of this course. If
CLO1 is checked multiple times during the course, the average of the CLO1 will be
calculated for the assessment of CLO1. As per the present policy, any student obtaining 50%
marks on absolute scale in a CLO is considered pass. If a CLO is not completely covered by
a single question and multiple questions are given to assess the contents of a single CLO, the
CLO attainment is based on the combined score of the questions given for the CLO. The
contributing weightage of each question to the CLO is decided by the faculty. For example,
if two questions are given to assess CLO1 in a question paper, then the percentage of CLO
attainment is calculated as;
%age marks in CLO1 = a x Marks Obtained in Q1/ Total marks of Q1 + b x Marks Obtained
in Q2/ Total marks of Q2
Where a and b are contributions of Q1 and Q2 to CLO1.
The data of CLO attainment of each student is provided by the concerned faculty to the
examination branch. The examination branch maintains the data of each students CLO
attainment as follows;
Table 43: Student CLO attainment for Mechanics of Materials II.

86
In case a CLO was assessed multiple times during the course, the average score of the student
for each CLO is considered.
The CLO attainment of the course is based on the 60% students passing the CLOs. The
overall course attainment is calculated from individual CLO attainments as shown in the
following table.

The PLO attainment of each student is determined from CLO attainment. The PLO
attainment data is updated at the end of each semester. Several CLOs across multiple courses
contribute to the attainment of a PLO. Average of percentage attainment of all CLOs
contributing to a PLO is calculated at the end of each semester. Each CLO is considered to
have same contribution to a PLO. A student passes a PLO if he has obtained 50% or more
in a PLO in a semester. At the end of the degree, PLO attained in every semester will be
averaged to obtain an average percentage of the PLO attainment in all the semesters. A
student needs to attain the 50% as the average of the each PLO attained at the end of his/her
degree. The following table shows the PLO attainment of a student based on the CLO
attainment data shown in Table 41.

8.1.8 Continual Quality Improvement

The process of CQI is embedded in the overall process cycles of CLOs, PLOs and PEOs
attainment. The frequency of assessment of each cycle is different, as CLOs are assessed at
end of each semester, PLOs are assessed at end of each year and PEOs after graduates are in
the field for atleast three years. The data gathered about the attainment of CLOs, PLOs and
PEOs is analysed and presented to the review committee comprising of Dean SMME,
Director Local Quality Enhancement Cell and Head of the Departments. The review
committee will recommend improvements / modifications / enhancements (if required). The
recommendations are implemented through Academics Branch SMME.
A review of the CLO attainment for the Fall 2014 semester was carried out in March 2015
by the review committee. The review committee discussed each course in detail and the
courses with more than 40% students failing the CLOs were identified. A detailed discussion
with the concerned faculty members was carried out which encompassed the suitability of
CLOs, teaching methods, assessment methods and curriculum. It was identified that all the
subjects having CLO attainment of less than 60% were taught to ME04 student cohort. Based
on student and faculty feedback and a thorough analysis of all the involved elements, it was
concluded that further training and awareness regarding CLO attainment was required. Since,
Fall 2014 was the first semester after the implementation of OBE system, the students were

138
not comprehending the importance of the system and its impact on their studies. An
interactive training session of the ME04 student cohort was arranged. The results of the CLO
assessments were discussed with the students and the overall OBE system and its benefits to
the students were emphasized.

A meeting of CAC was held on 30th Jan 2015 to discuss the curriculum of ME programme
with industrial representatives and to identify further opportunities for improvements. CAC
members discussed the industrial requirements in detail and provided valuable guidance. The
meeting of minutes are available with the academics branch. To discuss and oversea the
implementation of CAC recommendations, four subject specialist groups were formed by
the HoD mechanical. Meetings of subject specialist groups were held between 5th and 7th
August 2015 where the recommendations of CAC were thoroughly discussed. Minutes of
the specialist group meetings are also available with academics branch.
Review meeting for the CLO attainment of Spring 2015 was held and the attainment of CLOs
was discussed. Actions required were identified and meetings with faculty are being carried
out. A review meeting for PLO attainment review is also scheduled.
