Abstract:

For this there are indirect assessment tools like Rubric. By designing the best rubric it is possible to capture every skill and program outcome laid by NBA.

Project continuous evaluation and assessment in engineering institute is tedious task. Keeping consolidate report of project and continuous improvement in required skills in the engineering projects is ultimate and necessary goal to develop employability in young budding engineers. Project evaluation method described in this paper is developed by us with our own rubric design. The term work marks and attainment of Program outcomes is carried out by us through calculations and with some formulae designed by us. This process gives complete design development and continuous assessments of program outcomes defined by NBA /ABET which will improve quality of product. This can be a best engineering practice for academic institutes. Keywords: Rubric, outcome based, PO (Program Outcomes)

III. Project assessment Process

We are describing here project assessment process designed by ourselves which includes various rubrics to Table1:Project Calendar Sr. No. 1 2 3

For engineering Institutes accreditation is needed to improve the quality of education and sustain in the competitive world. Accreditation authorities mainly focus on skill development and continuous assessment of students. ABET is focus on graduate attributes like Engineering knowledge, Problem analysis, Design/development of solutions, Modern tool usage, Environmental sustainability etc which current industries required from academic institutes. For that they have also defined the program outcomes a to k(can be referred on ABET/NBA websites) and minimum one program specific program outcome designed by own program runners. By achieving these outcomes with continuously following well defined process it is possible for any engineering institute to produce engineers with required qualities laid down by ABET. So many practices can be followed which will measure and assess the process of skill development in students.

II. Tools to assess skill

For development of skills and to achieve the program outcomes laid down by NBA, assessment process may include direct assessment tools and indirect assessment tools. Direct assessment tool gives directly and clearer picture of assessment of graduate attributes. It may include class tests, continuously and periodically assessment of skills. But as far as program outcomes a to k is considered it is not possible to capture all outcomes by direct assessment tools. For e.g. program outcome a, b, c, d can be assessed by class tests but how to capture professional ethics by the students through class test?.
