Isobes

OBE is based on ISO 9000 principles of continuous quality improvement (CQI) and was introduced in response to an industry request for better-prepared graduates. The movement began in the early-nineteen nineties and it was first introduced in 1997. Based a realization that all institutes/universities do not share identical objectives/missions; rather they should be based on stakeholder needs/requirements. ABET requirements were too prescriptive and were not permitting universities to be responsive to their constituencies. Students were being subjected to too much of basic and engineering sciences to meet ABET criteria and not sufficient emphasis on design and soft-skills. Engineering curricula were becoming too big and students were not able to finish in 4 years. Differences between teaching and learning were not clearly understood. Thus on the concept basis of following pictorial view we trying to develop ISOBES.
