So, we discussing about the PO of a Accreditation of Engineering Graduate. So, domain specific I have already done. So, domain independent, first one is call individual and team work. Number 6th PO which is domain independent is call individual and team work. So, a student not only know domain kind of skill, but they also have a skill, so that they can work as

an individual and they can effectively work in a team. So, integrity of the skill tools. Communication skill, communicate effectively on complex engineering activity with the engineering community and with society at large, such as being able to comprehend and write effective report, design documentation make effective presentation give and receive clear instruction. So, in one word I can say this is call effective communication. A engineer what is required?

He must able to communicate on its fellow worker or he must able to communicate with the society, he must able to communicate with the client, he must able to communicate with his higher boss. So, all communication effective communication required. And what is else required? He should able to write effective technical report. Not only spoken written communication

also required. So, spoken and written form. So, it is neighbor said a engineer if you say the B.Tech, most of the thing as you say the B.Tech engineer must spoken English was very good. It is not that he has to speak as a British accent, he has to speak as a British American accent. He has to communicate effectively. So, how do you develop the effective

communication? I am not saying engineer will write a report which is like a Shakespeare, I do not require Shakespeare. I required a engineer who will has an proficiency in the communication for effective communication regarding the technical matter. So, how do you develop communication skill? I will come later on that part. Next one, engineering and society. Demonstrate understanding of the social, health, safety,

legal and cultural issue and the consequent responsibility relevant to the engineering practices. Just read out it, then I will explain what is required here. Next one if you say ethics. Understand and commit to personal ethics and responsibility and norms of engineering practices. The problem is how can I develop ethics. It is not ethics

means major term only engineering ethics. Next one, environment and sustainability. Understand the impact of engineering solution. So, understand is the not ultimate goal, goal is demonstrate, knowledge of and and need of sustainable development. This would able to demonstrate. Here also ethics understand and commit. So, commit to professional ethics and responsibility and, so they should able to commit to professional ethics not only

understanding is sufficient. Project management and finance, demonstrate a knowledge and understanding of management and business practices, such as risk and change management and understand their limitation. Next, long lifelong learning. They have to have a skill of self learning. Now, challenges is that domain dependent skill I can develop offering a different kinds of subject, because yes, you are studying B.Tech

engineering in electronics. So, to design of a electronic circuits, analogue circuits I offer a course; to design AC machine in electrical I offer a course; to design an antenna I offer a course. But how do I develop the domain independent skill which is required. So, domain independent skill individual and team work, how it is same individual and team

work? Should I offer a course on individual and team work? How do you develop their communication skill? Only single course in English for communication, is it sufficient to develop the communication skill. One semester course English for communication, may be two semester course whatever you do is sufficient for their communication development. What you do for engineering society? Should

we offer a subject? What you do for ethics? Can ethics be developed by offering a course, project management and finance, lifelong learning. Can I offer a course for lifelong learning? So, problem is that as a teacher my challenge is can I say while I am developing their domain dependent skill, their domain independent skill is developed. So, my challenge is that

every teacher, not ethics is taught by some other teacher subject not like that, while I am developing domain dependent skill, analyzing ability, solving ability, design ability, testing ability, synthesis ability, can I say that I am follow a teaching learning process by which I also developing the domain independent skill like that team work, individual, ethics,

communication skill, lifelong learning all those things. So, for example, suppose I teaching a course on AC machine design let us for example. Can I ensure while I am teaching a AC machine design in the class I am developing their communication skill, I am developing their ethics, I am developing their lifelong learning, and I am developing their team work and individual, program sustainability and environment all

those things. So, teaching in analogue electronics if I teach I cannot say I only teach analogue electronics, I may teach analogue electronics, I have to take care about the domain independent skill also. Many time we say, how many of ask say story in the class which is very essential. Ethical story in the class related to my domain; engineering ethics not that general kind of ethics. So,

whatever the subject I teach can I say that my teaching learning process is such that that while I am developing domain dependent skill something, I am developing also ethics. Engineering and society, I may talk about a course on chemical process plan. Can I say while I am teaching a chemical process plan I also provide or I also teaching learning

process fascinated them to develop their domains on health, safety, legal and cultural issues. Lifelong learning, how do I develop? I I may teach in a course on may be a mathematics, can I say that I am developing lifelong learning. Yes, it is very much importance. So, assignment is one of the important part for teaching and learning. If I provide assignment

I can ensure their developing their lifelong learning ability. So, without giving assignment can I say I am developed their lifelong learning ability. So, I can say while I am teaching a domain dependent course the domain independent skill is developed because of my teaching learning process. So, what is the correct pedagogy or correct teaching learning process,

so that I can claim these thing. While I am teaching a course on AC machine design, I am ensuring their communication skill developed, their ethics developed, their self learning ability developed, their team work developed, all kinds of development happened. May not be all domain independent skill is not not possible by every courses. Some courses may

say, ok sir project management finance how can I say. Yes, not possible. For that may be there is a particular engineering course where that part is included or if it is not included, I can weight by a another inter disciplinary course also. But ethics lifelong learning, communication skill, team work, those cannot be offer by

a course those should be integral part of every domain dependent course. Very simple. Lifelong learning, somebody has taking in a class whatever the problem is solve in the board give the exam. What is up learning ability were developing? Without any assignment without any problem given to the student to solve by themselves, how their self-learning ability

is developed. Communication skill, can I say offering a course in English for communication may be one or two semester course, develop their communication ability. So, there may be a 8 semester 5 into 8, 40 courses let say 40 approximate, 40 courses. So, out of forty courses only two courses are there which is

English for communication. Can English for communication skill is developed? No. Communication skill will develop if every course is taken care on this; that means, my teaching learning process demand interaction between the teacher and students, instead of teacher talking student must talk in the class. So, if student start talking their communication skill is developed.

Lab report, if you see that lab report, this year lab report and last 5 year back lab report all are same what technical writing are developing. So, every year lab report you have to design laboratory experiment such a way the student should able to write their own lab report not copying from last year or last last lab report. Most of the cases if you find their

lab reports are same from the beginning of the colleges. So, if I taken care those kind of little bit of things, I can say that domain dependent independent skill is also developed. Ethics, so ethics can learn by practices if I if I cannot ensure that students are not copying the result from previous lab. What kind of ethics I am developing? How can I

say the engineering ethics is developed? So, as a teacher the main we can say the main challenge for the teacher is that while I am teaching a domain dependent course, I have to take care about the domain independent course, sorry domain independent skills. So, I am taking the taking the course on domain for developing domain dependent skill, but

I have to ensure I also touch down the domain independent skill. So, every course must be two of the development of communication skill, self-learning, ethics, team work, individual some courses will go for engineering and society, and project management and finance. So, these 12 parameters has to be acquired by the students. So, who require the acridities? Accreditation

actually required to be implemented in the class room, unless student acquire those skill my accreditation is not successful. So, that is why that is call attainment of PO, program outcome attainment, how do we measure the attainment. So, all are link together I will explain. Development CO PO mapping, program matrix, attainment, all kinds of thing which

are very much scientifical. So, in a summary I can say accreditation is a process by which I can measure the quality of an educational program or I can say objectively quality of an educational program, not subjective quality. To measure the objective quality, I required certain parameter those parameters are called PO in case of Washington Accords.

So, Washington Accords define 12 PO or 12 skill set which are essential for a or say the graduate or undergraduate in these outside is graduate, here is undergraduate engineers. So, after 10 plus 2, 4 year study they must acquire these 12 skill. And if I can say that this program has been enable the students to acquire those 12 skill, then I can say

the program is accreditates. So, there may be a certain parameter which are directly measurement is not possible we measure it indirectly. So, it is not about thathow many bench are there, how many lights are there in the room, how many black boards are there, not that. It is that ultimately whether the skill is developed or not. So,

now, the question is is accreditation produce better graduate; may be say my program is NBA accredited. Is accreditation produce better graduate? Answer is no. Accreditation guaranteed the minimum quality required for a B.Tech engineer, if its Washington Accords. So, if it is accreditation, accreditation process developed for let usgeneral education the physics one ask chemistry, then that process will guaranteed that all the pass out students

maintain the minimum quality which is required. There may be exceptional students who can achieve higher than the accreditation requirement, but accreditation says that this is the minimum scale of requirement. So, accreditation never says that if it is program is accredited is produce better graduate, no, straightaway no. May be very good program which is already

established, brand name is already establish, accreditation may not required. But yes, if I want to measure the objective quality of the program accreditation is essential. So, in whole accreditation process, accreditation is a process for measuring the quality of a program, and these does not guaranteed the better quality, it only guaranteed that it

maintain the minimum quality. Now, in India if you say we have also accreditation process we call NBA national board of accreditation and their parameter is same as Washington Accords which I already explained. They have a 5 domain dependent PO. Then there is a 7 domain independent PO, ok. So, same thing same whatever is there in Washington

Accords because India also a signatory of Washington Accords. So, what is Washington Accords? I have never said it. It is nothing call a a group of people sit together and define those are the minimum skill required for this kind of program. So, they said after 10 plus 2, more than 4 year program must have those skill.

So, accreditation, I think you have understand. So, PO, PSO program specific outcome, PO program outcome. So, 12, all 12 together is call PO. If I say domain dependent 5 written on a particular program is call PSO. So, PO is skill, PSO when it is those 5 is adapt a for a particular program; as I given the example some electronics B.Tech program may be very good on microwave,

if they have written that they are PSO towards microwave, but all those 5 dimension solving solving ability, analyzing ability, design ability, testing ability and mood on tools uses ability. Now, those PO can be attain by offering a different course. So, all those course will towards the development of required PO. So, domain depend while; so, I have do not have a flexibility to the offer a so many course

for project management finance ethics those cannot be developed by course also. So, sometime, so the the challenge of the teacher is that while you teaching a domain dependent skill can you develop their domain independent ability or I can say how I will implement accreditation in the classroom. So, the question is how can I implement accreditation

in the classroom. What is the what is the methodology to implement accreditation in the classroom? So, next lecture I will start OBE, I will explain how OBE is the methodology to implement NBA in the or implement accreditation, not NBA is a one kind of accreditation, so accreditation in the classroom. Accreditation can be done for any program and you have to

only define that parameters by which you want to accredited the program, ok. So, now I will show you some slide which is may not be your; so, it is already say that is accreditation program produce better graduate, no. Accreditation often statement of meeting minimum requirement. Then if you say value of accreditation, I

am not reading the slides, you can read it. Then I will show you the list of country who are already part of signatory of Washington Accords, India is also signatory of Washington Accords. The advantage of accreditation is that if the program is accreditates, then I can ensure the program maintain the minimum quality.

And also, if you see that, industries says that our graduates are not employable because we never develop the skill, but if I develop those 12 skill and if we ensure those skill are acquired by the students then industry will definitely say they are employable. So, how do you ensure or how do you implement accreditation in the class room is an important

factors. And I will next few lectures I will describe how you implement accreditation in the class room, ok. Thank you.
