Course Outcomes Assessment

Design/development of solutions (3), and Individual and team work (9). Two
evaluation methods will be used for the evaluation of course and program outcomes of this
course.
The outcomes will be measured based on student performance on specific questions that will
be part of the semester end examination (SEE). Question number 9 will test the ability of
the student for Design/development of solutions (3). The design question is put in question
serial number 9 as shown in the model question. That question is compulsory so all students
will be expected to attempt it.
