(PEOs)

AND

PROGRAM OUTCOMES (POs)

Electrical and Electronics Engineering Departmental Advisory Council:

The Electrical and Electronics Engineering Department Advisory Council (EEEDAC) is composed from a diverse group of representatives from academe, industry and importantly the alumni. The

“Program Educational Objectives ” were initially drafted by a committee of EEE faculty and were vetted and approved by a group of faculty from peer department, Electronics & Communications

Engineering. Assessment data for evaluation of effectiveness of the program and achievement of program objectives is collected annually through “alumni surveys” and every three years through

“employer surveys”. This information is compiled by departmental committee and presented to EEE

External Advisory Board for review. The feedback and recommendation of EEE Advisory Board are implemented for improvements year on year. The meeting of the Advisory Board is conducted annually. Additional meetings are conducted as required, to review strategic planning and innovative programs for their impact on programs. The Advisory Council visits the institute and holds meeting with representatives of administration, faculty and the students. The secretary of departmental council presents a report to the council, on improvements and amendments to the program. The advisory council prepares a status report for action and review by the Principal.

B. Tech - Electrical and Electronics Engineering Program Educational Objectives (PEOs)

The Electrical and Electronics Engineering department at the institute is dedicated to providing educational opportunities in Electrical and Electronics Engineering to specific undergraduate student body of talented girls and boys. The department emphasizes close interactions between students and the faculty dedicated to education and actively engaged in events enriching the educational programs. The program emphasizes active learning with a strong laboratory component.

EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES, OUTCOMES AND ASSESSMENT CRITERIA

Learning Outcomes, Assessment Criteria

The educational objectives of a module are statements of the broad intentions of the teaching team. They indicate what the teaching team intends to cover and the learning opportunities they intend to make available to the student. A learning outcome is a statement of what a learner

(student) is expected to know, understand and /or be able to do at the end of learning period. The department prefers to express learning outcomes with following common prefix:

‘On completion of (the period of learning e.g. module), the student is expected to be able to…’

Generally, learning outcomes do not specify curriculum, but more general areas of learning. It is not possible to prescribe precisely how specific a learning outcome statement should be. A balance is struck between the degree of specificity in a learning outcome statement and that achieved by the assessment criteria, below. On one hand too many learning outcomes, for a module, are considered akin to assessment criteria or curricular detail (EEE intend to describe the curriculum in a range statement) while too few learning outcomes fail to provide sufficient information on the course. As a practice between 3 and 6 learning outcomes are considered by EEE for a course.

The Program Educational Objectives (PEOs) of the Electrical and Electronics Engineering department are broad statements or road maps describing career and professional objectives we intend our graduates to achieve through this program.

METHODS OF MEASURING LEARNING OUTCOMES AND VALUE ADDED

Various methodologies that are used to measure “student learning” each have their own limitations and biases and no method can be relied upon completely. For this reason “triangulating the data” is considered as the best practice in educational research. Using data from several different sources increases the probability that, the findings present an accurate picture. The following formal assessment procedures are employed:

1) University end-of-semester course evaluations

2) Departmental mid-semester course evaluations

3) Departmental course objective surveys

4) Course portfolio evaluations

5) Exit Interviews

6) Alumni feedback

7) Employer surveys

8) Department academic council meetings

9) Faculty meetings

10) Project work

11) Placements and

12) Professional societies

.

Each is described in more detail below:

(1) University end-of-semester course evaluations:

Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University (JNTU) conducts end-of-semester examination for all courses. Summary results for each course are distributed to the appropriate instructor and the HOD, summarizing the course-specific results and comparing them to the average across the university. Students are encouraged to write specific comments about the positive and negative aspects of the course. The statistical summary and student comments are presented and also submitted to the principal and department academic council for

(2) review.

Departmental mid-semester course evaluations:

The Electrical and Electronics Engineering department conducts mid-semester reviews for all courses. Students are encouraged to participate in a feedback survey on the state of the courses they have currently chosen. The survey provides student an opportunity for a

(3) written comment as well. Faculty are strongly encouraged to review these evaluations and draft a brief response on how they will react to correct any deficiencies noted by the students. The results are reviewed by department faculty (all faculty have permission to read results for all courses).

Departmental course objective surveys and evaluations:

The Electrical and Electronics Engineering department conducts end-of-semester course objective surveys for all of our courses. Students are encouraged to fill out a feed back form for the courses they are currently studying. Faculties are strongly encouraged to review these evaluations and draft a brief response on how to improve upon observations by the students. The results are reviewed by departmental committee (all faculty have permission to read results for all courses). The results of how program satisfy course objectives are discussed. Based on this feedback for certain courses, alterations / changes to the course objectives are recommended for implementation.

(4) Course portfolio evaluations:

Department collects course portfolios from the instructor of each course offered in a given semester. They are documented and are available for entire EEE faculty to study. These portfolios help the course coordinator monitor how the course is being taught, and helps new faculty to understand how more experienced colleagues teach the given course. With respect to assessment, each portfolio contains two surveys to be submitted by the instructor of the course. The beginning-of-semester survey encourages faculty members to think about what they can do to improve the teaching and administration of their course, compared with the last time they taught it. The end-of-semester survey encourages faculty to record what did and did not work well during this course offering and what improvements should be made for the future.

(5) Exit Interviews:

Inputs from final year students are solicited annually through “Exit Survey”. The results are disseminated to the faculty and department advisory council for analysis and action. The questionnaire is designed to survey program outcomes, solicit information on program experiences, career choices as well as suggestions and comments. This instrument seeks to assess how students view the department's program in retrospect.

(6) Alumni feedback:

The “alumni survey” is a medium where our alumni’s perception on effectiveness of our

PEOs is captured. Through this written questionnaire we seek input on the Program

Objectives and Learning Outcomes from alumni based on their job experience (after graduation and after they have spent few years with their employer). Alumni are excellent resources with perspective on the values and advantages of their education. They also

provide opportunities for current students for networking and potential employment. The data is analyzed and used for continuous improvement in PEOs.

(7) Employer surveys:

The employer survey is a feedback tool and a survey participated by “Employers and

Advisors” of alumni (with two or more years in employment). We review the effectiveness of our curriculum through this feedback and assess how well the student performed in real world and issues related to Electrical and Electronics Engineering. We seek information on several categories of preparation, and for each category, employer’s perception about our graduates is captured. This survey assists us in determining effectiveness and overall performance level of our Program Educational Objectives.

(8) Department Academic Committee meetings:

The Electrical and Electronics Engineering Department Advisory Committee (EEEDAC) includes a diverse group of experts from academe, industry and the alumni. The Advisory

Council visits the institute and holds meeting with representatives of administration, faculty and the students. The head of department presents a report on improvements and amendments to the program to the council. The advisory council prepares a status report for action and review by the Principal.

(9) Faculty meetings:

The state of undergraduate program is the focal point of monthly faculty meetings and thus is a common agenda point for such meetings. The faculty devotes substantial time, in formal and informal discussions, assessing state of the program and searching for improvements.

(10) Project work:

The final project reports, must demonstrate that students produced solutions to research/industry problems involving contemporary issues. There is no scale for this tool as the reports provide qualitative data.

(11) Placements:

Data from the Placement and Training Centre pertaining to placement of graduates reflects how successful our graduates are in securing a job in a related field.

(12) Professional societies:

The role of professional societies in introducing our students to technical, entrepreneurial and societal aspects of the field and in providing outstanding opportunities for lifelong learning makes them important constituents. Department of Electrical and Electronics

Engineering support student chapters of the IEEE Power Engineering Society (PES) and

Power Electronics Society (PELS). The initiative encourages student participation and provides means and interface for service, enhancing the profession, networking and leadership skills.

WRITING AND ASSESSING COURSE

LEVEL STUDENT LEARNING OUTCOMES

Learning Outcomes

Learning Outcomes are the formal statements of what students are expected to learn in a course.

Synonyms for “learning outcome” include expected learning outcome, learning outcome statement, and student learning outcome. Course level student learning outcomes provide information on exactly what expected learning outcomes are and what methods can be used to assess them. This is designed to assist faculty with the process of developing expected learning outcomes and methods for assessing those outcomes in their courses. This provides basic information related to course purpose, expected learning outcomes, methods for assessing expected learning outcomes, criteria for grade determination and a course outline. After reading and completing this, individuals will be able to:

Prepare a description of the course as well as a written statement regarding the course’s purpose;

Construct/develop expected learning outcomes for the course;

Create an assessment plan that outlines the specific methods that will be used to assess the expected student learning outcomes for a course;

Describe how grades will be determined in a process that is separate and distinct from assessing the expected learning outcomes;

Identify the common components of a course outline

Revise their course syllabi to incorporate a course purpose, expected learning outcomes, methods to assess those outcomes, the criteria for grade determination, and a course outline.

This process uses some terminology related to expected learning outcomes and assessment. A brief glossary of terms has been provided below for reference purposes.

Assessment of expected learning outcomes: The process of investigating (1) what students are learning and (2) how well they are learning it in relation to the stated expected learning outcomes for the course.

Assessment plan: The proposed methods and timeline for assessment-related activities in a given course (e.g., when are you going to check what/how well the students are learning and how are you going to do that?).

Classroom Assessment Technique (CAT): Angelo and Cross (1993) developed a variety of techniques/activities than can be used to assess students’ learning. These CATs are often done anonymously and are not graded. These activities check on the class’ learning while students are still engaged in the learning process. An example of a CAT is a non-graded quiz given a few weeks before the first exam.

Course description: A formal description of the material to be covered in the course.

Course purpose: The course purpose describes the intent of the course and how it contributes to the programme. The course purpose goes beyond the course description.

Evaluation: Making a judgment about the quality of student’s learning/work and assigning marks based on that judgment. Evaluation activities (such as exams, papers, etc.) are often seen as formal ways to assess the expected learning outcomes for a course.

Methods for assessing student learning outcomes: This term refers to any technique or activity that is used to identify what students are learning or how well they are learning. Formal methods for evaluating student learning outcomes include Continuous Assessment Tests, Mid Semester Test,

Tutorials, End Semester Examination etc. The assessment methods are used to identify how the well students have acquired the learning outcomes for the course.

1.

COURSE PURPOSE

One of the first steps in identifying the expected learning outcomes for a course is identifying the purpose of teaching in the course. By clarifying the purpose of the course, faculty can help discover

the main topics or themes related to students’ learning. These themes help to outline the expected learning outcomes for the course.

The course purpose involves the following:

1.

What role does this course play within the programme?

2.

How is the course unique or different from other courses?

3.

Why should/do students take this course? What essential knowledge or skills should they gain from this experience?

4.

What knowledge or skills from this course will students need to have mastered to perform well in future classes or jobs?

5.

Why is this course important for students to take?

The “Course Description” provides general information regarding the topics and content addressed in the course, the “Course Purpose” goes beyond that to describe how this course fits in to the students’ educational experience in the programme.

2.

EXPECTED LEARNING OUTCOMES

An expected learning outcome is a formal statement of what students are expected to learn in a course. Expected learning outcome statements refer to specific knowledge, practical skills, areas of professional development, attitudes, higher-order thinking skills, etc. that faculty members expect students to develop, learn, or master during a course (Suskie, 2004). Expected learning outcomes are also often referred to as “learning outcomes”, “student learning outcomes”, or “learning outcome statements”.

Simply stated, expected learning outcome statements describe:

1.

What faculty members want students to know at the end of the course and

2.

What faculty members want students to be able to do at the end of the course.

Learning outcomes have three major characteristics

1. They specify an action by the students/learners that is observable

2. They specify an action by the students/learners that is measurable

3. They specify an action that is done by the students/learners (rather than the faculty members)

Effectively developed expected learning outcome statements should possess all three of these characteristics. When this is done, the expected learning outcomes for a course are designed so that they can be assessed (Suskie, 2004).

3.

WRITING EFFECTIVE LEARNING OUTCOME STATEMENTS

When writing expected learning outcomes, it is important to use verbs that describe exactly what the learner(s) will be able to do upon completion of the course.

Examples of good action words to include in expected learning outcome statements:

Compile, identify, create, plan, revise, analyze, design, select, utilize, apply, demonstrate, prepare, use, compute, discuss, explain, predict, assess, compare, rate, critique, outline, or evaluate

There are some verbs that are unclear in the context of an expected learning outcome statement

( e.g., know, be aware of, appreciate, learn, understand, comprehend, become familiar with ). These words are often vague, have multiple interpretations, or are simply difficult to observe or measure

(American Association of Law Libraries, 2005). As such, it is best to avoid using these terms when creating expected learning outcome statements.

For example, please look at the following learning outcomes statements:

The students will understand Electrical Distribution Systems.

The students will appreciate knowledge discovery from Distribution Automation Techniques.

Both of these learning outcomes are stated in a manner that will make them difficult to assess.

Consider the following:

How do you observe someone “understanding” a theory or “appreciating” Distribution

Automation Techniques?

How easy will it be to measure “understanding” or “appreciation”?

These expected learning outcomes are more effectively stated the following way:

The students will be able to identify and describe what techniques are used in Distribution

Automation systems.

The students will be able to identify the characteristics of Classification techniques from other

Distribution Automation Techniques.

Incorporating Critical Thinking Skills into Expected Learning Outcomes Statements

Many faculty members choose to incorporate words that reflect critical or higher-order thinking into their learning outcome statements. Bloom (1956) developed a taxonomy outlining the different types of thinking skills people use in the learning process. Bloom argued that people use different levels of thinking skills to process different types of information and situations. Some of these are basic cognitive skills (such as memorization) while others are complex skills (such as creating new ways to apply information). These skills are often referred to as critical thinking skills or higher-order thinking skills .

Bloom proposed the following taxonomy of thinking skills. All levels of Bloom’s taxonomy of thinking skills can be incorporated into expected learning outcome statements. Recently, Anderson and

Krathwohl (2001) adapted Bloom's model to include language that is oriented towards the language used in expected learning outcome statements. A summary of Anderson and Krathwohl’s revised version of Bloom’s taxonomy of critical thinking is provided below.

Definitions of the different levels of thinking skills in Bloom’s taxonomy

1.

Remember – recalling relevant terminology, specific facts, or different procedures related to information and/or course topics. At this level, a student can remember something, but may not really understand it.

2.

Understand – the ability to grasp the meaning of information (facts, definitions, concepts, etc.) that has been presented.

3.

Apply – being able to use previously learned information in different situations or in problem solving.

4.

Analyze – the ability to break information down into its component parts. Analysis also refers to the process of examining information in order to make conclusions regarding cause and effect, interpreting motives, making inferences, or finding evidence to support statements/arguments.

5.

Evaluate – being able to judge the value of information and/or sources of information based on personal values or opinions.

6.

Create – the ability to creatively or uniquely apply prior knowledge and/or skills to produce new and original thoughts, ideas, processes, etc. At this level, students are involved in creating their own thoughts and ideas.

List of Action Words Related to Critical Thinking Skills

Here is a list of action words that can be used when creating the expected student learning outcomes related to critical thinking skills in a course. These terms are organized according to the different levels of higher-order thinking skills contained in Anderson and Krathwohl’s (2001) revised version of Bloom’s taxonomy.

TIPS FOR DEVELOPING COURSE LEVEL EXPECTED LEARNING OUTCOMES STATEMENTS

Limit the course-level expected learning outcomes to 5 - 10 statements for the entire course (more detailed outcomes can be developed for individual units, assignments, chapters, etc.).

Focus on overarching or general knowledge and/or skills (rather than small or trivial details).

Focus on knowledge and skills that are central to the course topic and/or discipline.

Create statements that are student-centered rather than faculty-centered (e.g., “upon completion of this course students will be able to list the names of all Distribution Automation Techniques versus

“one objective of this course is to teach the names of all Distribution Automation Techniques. )

Focus on the learning that results from the course rather than describing activities or lessons in the course.

Incorporate or reflect the institutional and departmental missions.

AN OVERVIEW OF ASSESSMENT

According to Palomba and Banta (1999) assessment involves the systematic collection, review, and use of evidence or information related to student learning. Assessment helps faculty understand how well their students understand course topics/lessons. Assessment exercises are often anonymous. This anonymity allows students to respond freely, rather than trying to get the “right” answer or look good. Assessment exercises attempt to gauge students’ understanding in order to see what areas need to be re-addressed in order to increase the students’ learning.

In other words, assessment is the process of investigating (1) what students are learning and (2) how well they are learning it in relation to the stated expected learning outcomes for the course. This process also involves providing feedback to the students about their learning and providing new learning opportunities/strategies to increase student learning.

For example, Dr. JVR initiates a class discussion on material from Chapter One and determines that most students are confused about Topic X. This class discussion served as a method for assessing student learning and helped determine the fact that student learning related to Topic X is somewhat lacking. Dr. JVR now has the opportunity to (1) inform the students that there is some confusion and

(2) make adjustments to address this confusion (e.g., ask student to re-read Chapter One, re-lecture over Topic X, etc.). This assessment process helps increase students’ learning .

Difference betwee n “evaluation” and “assessment”

Evaluation focuses on making a judgment about student work to be used in assigning marks that express the level of student performance. Evaluation is usually used in the process of determining marks . Evaluation typically occurs after student learning is assumed to have taken place (e.g., a final exam). Evaluation is part of the assessment process. Course assignments that are evaluated/graded

(e.g., exams, papers, tutorials, etc.) are often seen as formal assessment techniques.

While evaluation is an important component of most classrooms, it does have some limitations. For example, if the class average on an exam is a 45%, is seems pretty clear that something went wrong along the way. When one has only evaluated the final learning product, it can be challenging to go back and discover what happened. It can also be difficult to address the situation or provide opportunities for students to learn from their mistakes. Yes, a curve on an exam can help address a low class average, but does it help the students learn? Engaging in informal assessment activities throughout the course can help avoid this situation.

Assessment process

1.

Establishing expected learning outcomes for the course;

2.

Systematically gathering, analyzing, and interpreting evidence (through formal assessment activities such as exams or papers and informal assessment activities such as in-class discussions exercises) to determine how well the students’ learning matches:

 faculty expectations for what students will learn and

 the stated expected learning outcomes for the course

3.

Faculty members should use this evidence/assessment of student learning to:

 provide questionery to students about their learning (or lack thereof) and

 adjust their teaching methods and/or students’ learning behaviors to ensure greater student learning (Maki, 2004).

The Best Practice in a Classroom Assessment and is an example of a method that can be used to assess learning outcomes. At the end of a class period or major topic, faculty ask students to anonymously write down what point(s) were the most unclear to them. After class, faculty members review these responses and then re-teach or re-address any confusing topics, thus increasing student learning (Angelo & Cross, 1993).

7.

WRITING A COURSE PURPOSE

Determining the PURPOSE of teaching the course

When planning a course and determining the Learning Outcomes for that course, it is important to examine the course’s purpose within the context of the college, and/or the department/program.

This process will assist faculty in determining the intent of the course as well as how the course fits into the curriculum. This will help identify the essential knowledge, skills, etc. that should be incorporated into the course and the stated expected learning outcomes for the course. The course purpose section should clarify the course’s standing within the programme (e.g., is the course required or an elective?, does this class have a pre-requisite?, etc.) . It should also describe the course’s role in the departmental/programmatic curriculum by addressing the intent (importance, main contribution, intrinsic value, etc.) of the class.

STEP ONE: Determine if the course is part of the IEEE / ACM / AICTE Model Curriculum

The earliest curriculum was published in 1968 for computer science (CS) by the Association for

Computing Machinery (ACM), and in 1977 the Computer Society of the Institute for Electrical and

Electronic Engineers (IEEE-CS) provided its first curriculum recommendations. In the late 1980’s the

ACM and the IEEE-CS together formed a task force to create curricula for computer science and computer engineering. The core curriculum covers classes in computer science curriculum, and subsequently separate curricula reports were issued for information systems, software engineering and computer engineering

STEP TWO: Determine how the course fits into the departmental curriculum

Here are some questions to ask to help determine how a course fits in the departmental curriculum:

What role does the course play in the departmental/programmatic curriculum?

Is this course required?

Is this course an elective?

Is this course required for some students and an elective for others?

Does this class have a pre-requisite?

Is this class a pre-requisite for another class in the department?

Is this course part of IEEE / ACM / AICTE Model Curriculum?

How advanced is this course?

Is this course an undergraduate or graduate course?

Where does this course fall in students’ degree plan - as an introductory course or an advanced course?

Can I expect the students taking this course to know anything about the course topic?

Are other faculty members counting on students who have taken this course to have mastered certain knowledge or skills?

When students leave this course, what do they need to know or be able to do?

Is there specific knowledge that the students will need to know in the future?

Are there certain practical or professional skills that students will need to apply in the future?

Five years from now, what do you hope students will remember from this course?

What is it about this course that makes it unique or special?

Why does the program or department offer this course?

Why can’t this course be “covered” as a sub-section of another course?

What unique contributions to students’ learning experience does this course make?

What is the value of taking this course? How exactly does it enrich the program or department?

8.

WRITING EXPECTED LEARNING OUTCOMES FOR A COURSE

The following pages should be of assistance in developing several broad, effectively stated expected learning outcomes for a course. When beginning to construct expected learning outcome statements, it is always good to think about the learners.

Please take a moment to think about the student learners in the course. Please consider the following questions:

What are the most essential things the students need to know or be able to do at the end of this course?

What knowledge and skills will they bring with them?

What knowledge and skills should they learn from the course?

When you begin thinking about the expected learning outcomes for a course, it is a good idea to think broadly. Course-level expected learning outcomes do not need to focus on small details; rather, they address entire classes of theories, skill sets, topics, etc.
