Abstract

This paper presents the attempt made to improve the teaching-learning process in the Under Graduate course on `Digital Switching Systems´. Improvement in the teaching-learning process is being done based on the Outcome-Based Education (OBE). OBE highlights the skills learnt by the student at the end of every course. The attainment of the skills by the students are measured based on the Graduate Attributes (GA) specified by the Accreditation bodies [1-4]. Defining the course outcomes (CO) and hence the modifications in the traditional teaching method as self-study component is discussed here.
