Project based teaching-learning a tool for assessment of Graduate Attributes

Graduate Attributes (GAs) in Outcome Based Education (OBE) are the outcomes (of the stake holder especially students) which are to be assessed during their programme of studies. Some of the graduate attributes can be addressed through project based teaching learning process. The indirect assessment approach helps the students to know their strengths and weaknesses in a particular area. The paper presents a methodology adopted for the assessment of graduate attributes through typical technical (project based) events which are organized and managed by the students with assessment rubrics that provide the information about their approach of learning as well as teaching. The paper also presents the assessment through the teaching and learning process, an indirect path to assess the programme outcomes.
