Speaker 1: Course outcomes. What are course outcomes? First, we will understand what is a course and what is an outcome. Course in our general terminology, it is the subjects. If you take BE Mechanical Engineering program, there are a number of subjects we offer that is a number of courses we offer in each and every semester. We offer physics as a course, chemistry as a course, thermodynamics as a course, engineering drawing as a course, and all these things are courses. Outcome. Now we have seen what is a course and what is an outcome. Outcome in its basic level are of three types, knowledge, skill, attitude and behavior. So now you link these two words course outcome, that is by offering this particular course, what kind of knowledge, what kind of skill and what kind of attitude, behavior and values we are going to expect to be learnt by our students. This is what our course outcomes. And if you take knowledge, knowledge with respect to that particular course, skill with respect to that particular course, in these two we will not get any kind of confusion. When it comes to attitude, behavior and values and things like that, many a times this is related with moral science. Moral science is a basic thing which is required by everyone. This is the kind of attitude, the kind of behavior and values we are supposed to learn from that particular course. For example, I am just giving a small insight. If you take a drill bit, there are different kind of drill bits. A concrete drill bit, a drill bit which can be used on wood and a metal drill bit. Now attitude in this particular senses, can you use a concrete drill bit on metal? No. Just because you do not have a metal drill bit, do not ever use a concrete drill bit on metal. That learning if it goes inside, then attitude with respect to that particular course has been refined. This is what it means. Now in general, this is what is a course outcome. Now we have to define what are the course outcomes for a course. And it has to be put very clearly and that we will see how it can be done in a later video. But course outcome is very clear from this particular course. After undergoing this particular course, what our learners will be able to demonstrate with respect to knowledge, with respect to skill and with respect to attitude, behavior and values, that is what are course outcomes.
