After the world war, the focus shifted to engineering science and theemphasis was on education and knowledge. Now, the focus is on a balanced combination ofeducation and training to acquire the necessary skills and knowledge in Mechanical Engineering.In order to prepare the next generation of engineers with such attributes, the Accreditation Boardfor Engineering & Technology has developed a new set of guidelines with outcome-basedassessment, exposure to current industry practices and integration of design across thecurriculum

The analysis was conducted independently by three senior facultymembers who have taught most of the courses in the CE curriculum and who are very involvedin curriculum development and course management within the civil engineering division. Theactivity was not new as some assessment of the contribution of courses in the curriculum toachieving outcomes 1 through 11 had already been done in preparation for accreditation visits.After generating independent assessments, the faculty team met, consolidated and
