- Introduction to OBE
- PEOs, POs and COs
- Emphasizing how the OBE framework equips them with measurable skills that are highly valued by the industry
- Explaining that assessment in an OBE system focuses on measuring the attainment of outcomes rather than just testing memory of content
- Stressing the need for active participation and self-assessment
Expected outcomes for students:
- Increased clarity on OBE
- Motivation for learning
- Better performance
- Preparedness for NBA Accreditation
