1] Separate COs (for theory and lab courses) Expected Course Outcomes… Demonstrate hydraulic and pneumatic system components.(K2 S3 A2) Is it easy to assess all three domains together? Which tools? What is the contribution for each domain? Methodology that we adopted.. 1] Separate COs (for theory and lab courses) 2] Target is set for each CO 3] In addition to traditional tools, new rubrics are drafted for assessment of three domains 4] Policies for assessment and attainment of COs 5] Contribution of course in PO attainment

Conclusion -Paper has attempted to simplify the assessment of outcomes in three domains. -It makes very clear to all stakeholders to understand to what level the students are expected to reach to. -Eases the task of a faculty to set the targets separately for every CO. -This process also assists in proper course-PO mapping and brings the realistic PO attainment at the end.
