nation’seconomy. The exponential growth of engineering education in India has affected the qualityof engineering graduates in terms of their employability. The National Board of Accreditation(NBA) accredits engineering programs using the Outcome-Based Education (OBE)framework. This framework has twelve graduate attributes of the ‘Washington Accord’aligned with program outcomes. This paper proposes a systems approach which consists ofinput, transformation and output towards achieving employable skills in engineers. Theprogram outcomes consisting of technical and professional skills are derived from thecompetencies required for the target roles in the industry and the graduates’ attributes.Keeping this in mind, a structured outcome-based curriculum was

The purpose of the specific collaboration betweenEngineering and Mathematics at our institution is to: 1. Investigate pre-existing faculty biases on why students found it difficult to transfer knowledge between different fields; 2. Develop a systematic approach to collaboration between the two departments that will lead to a better understanding of the difficulties faced by our students and thus to continuous improvement of both the Engineering and the Differential Equations courses; 3.

Engineering classroom problems, are defined as being typically given by the courseinstructor in a well-documented, well-defined written form, and having a single, “correct” solution[3].
