Implementation of Outcome Based Education for the course Digital Image Processing

Achieving Outcome Based Education (OBE) in engineering education is a challenging task for the instructor. The cycle starts from the process of curriculum design for the course ‘Digital Image Processing’ by incorporating the inputs from different stake holders. Program Outcomes (POs) and Program Specific Outcomes (PSOs) are attained through balanced course design and achieving the Course Outcomes by various evaluation methods. The next challenge is to improve the traditional teaching learning methods by implementation of innovative techniques for effective delivery of the course and to increase the engagement of the students. Students should be able to apply, analyze and evaluate a given problem statement and build/simulate an algorithm/system in the course. Continuous assessment is followed in the laboratory sessions and Open-ended assignments are given to the students to stimulate divergent thinking abilities about a given problem. Feedback of theory and laboratory sessions is taken from the students and its analysis is carried out based on assignments, examinations and mini projects
