The workshop was inaugurated by DUET Vice-Chancellor Professor Dr. Engr. Mohammad Iqbal at the Shaheed Syed Nazrul Islam Academic Building. Pro-Vice-Chancellor Professor Dr. Engr. Ruma and Professor Dr. Md. Abu Tayeb, Head of the Department of Civil Engineering, attended as special guests.
In his keynote remarks, the Vice-Chancellor emphasized the importance of OBE in modern engineering education, highlighting that students should not only acquire knowledge but also develop the ability to apply it to solve real-world problems. He stressed that OBE-based curricula can improve educational quality and strengthen the connection between academic learning and industry needs.
The Pro-Vice-Chancellor emphasized that successful implementation of OBE requires changes not only in curriculum design but also in teaching, learning, and assessment methods, along with active collaboration among teachers.
The workshop included two technical sessions conducted by Professor Dr. Sheikh Mokhlesur Rahman of the Department of Civil Engineering, Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET). The sessions focused on OBE-based curriculum design, outcome-based teaching, learning and assessment, complex engineering problems and activities, and Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI), followed by interactive question-and-answer sessions.
A panel discussion was also held, featuring the Pro-Vice-Chancellor and the Head of the Department of Civil Engineering as panelists.
