Recently the quality of higher education in general
and engineering education, in particular, has drawn considerable attention. In
view of the expansion of engineering education over the last three decades and
in the backdrop of growing suboptimal levels of employability, quality
assurance of engineering education has assumed greater significance.
Recognizing the need to overhaul the education system, the NEP-2020 has come
out with path-breaking reforms in higher education. Some of these include
learning outcome focus, Accreditation & quality assurance, and
multidisciplinary holistic education to develop world-class citizens with roots
in Indian ethos. Higher education is thus poised to become quality focused with
emphasis on attainment of learning outcomes. Proper understanding of the
quality of education is the first step to developing quality outcomes. However,
education quality draws divergent views. Here we consider Outcome Based
Education approach to develop the quality concept.
This
Course sets out the quality aspect of education and looks at ways to manage it
as an integral part of institutional performance. While going through this
module, faculty will be trained and update themselves about quality in
technical education & quality assurance; key performance indicators in Accreditation;
innovative curriculum design; and assessment & evaluation for quality
improvement, process and criteria for the programme and institution-level Accreditation,
and international & Indian ranking frameworks.
