This book serves as an essential guide to teachers of higher education programs for designing and developing instructional systems and strategies for this information age. It elaborates outcomes-based pedagogical approach, offering a refreshing alternative to the traditional linear, teacher-led, syllabus-oriented, and examination-driven instructional system. The two volumes of this book present both theoretical and practical workshop manual with hundreds of real world industrial problems for scheming instructions/assessments. It is an invaluable resource for educators across all disciplines of higher education, particularly in India and other developing countries. The book thoroughly explores the principles of OBE under the practices of CDIO framework, an open architecture endeavour and standards. It provides a comprehensive roadmap for effective instructions and alternative assessments for autonomous learning of students. Besides, all aspects required for accreditations of institutions are included.
