    The document describes the process used by Anna University to identify gaps in its curriculum for the Electronics and Communication Engineering program. It analyzes course categories and their contribution to program outcomes. Course outcomes are mapped to program outcomes to identify any gaps. Feedback from students, alumni, employers and faculty is also considered. Identified gaps include inadequate coverage of modern tools, health/safety issues, communication skills, and financial/project management. The university addresses gaps through special lectures, workshops, visits, and suggesting updates to its Board of Studies.

    a) Process used to identify extent of compliance of the University curriculum for attaining the
    Program Outcomes (POs) and Program Specific Outcomes (PSOs), and the identified curricular gaps:
    The Anna University curriculum and Syllabus for the Program Electronics and Communication
    Engineering is categorized into various courses as Humanities and Social Sciences (HS), Basic Sciences
    (BS), Engineering Sciences (ES), Professional Core (PC), Professional Electives (PE), Open Electives (OE)
    and Employability Enhancement Courses (EEC). The syllabus for each course has been designed to
    comply the curriculum for attaining the POs and PSOs defined for the program. The Course
    categorization to assess the coverage of POs/PSOs is revealed as Table 2.1.1.a

    The process in identifying the curriculum gap through various feedback analysis and mapping of individual
    course with program outcome from which will provide the additional requirements for improvements in
    the curriculum shown in Figure 2.1.1.a

    Process for identifying curricular gaps

    1. The prescribed curriculum of affiliated Anna University consists of courses and content relevant to
    the program. The course outcome of the individual courses are obtained by the course in-charge and
    course coordinator.
    Course Exit Survey: At the end of semester, feedback of the students is recorded with regard to
    effectiveness of course contents delivery along with teaching of the course.
    Prerequisite:
    Courses are analyzed to check the potential and necessary skills to complete the enrolled course.
    2. The redefined outcomes of the individual courses are mapped with the defined program outcomes
    and program specific outcomes by the course in-charge.
    3. The level of contribution of courses to various POs and PSOs is calculated in percentage. The POs
    which do not reach the set value are identified as contributing to curricular gaps and also external
    inputs from Alumni, Industry, Academic Experts, Department Faculty members, In-program students
    and Outgoing students are considered to identify the curriculum gaps.
    4. The identified gaps and methods to fill the gaps are finalized by the Program Assessment Committee
    and forwarded to the Department Advisory Committee.
    5. Department Advisory Committee meeting will be conducted and based on the recommendations
    given by the DAC, the curricular gaps are filled through the following mode of deliveries:
     Special Lectures/Workshops/Seminars/Spoken Tutorials
     Industrial Visits/Value Added Courses/Mini Projects/Aptitude Tests
     Soft Skill Trainings/Mock Interviews/Club Activities
     Topics/Experiments beyond syllabus
     Symposiums/Conferences/In Plant Training
    6. The content beyond the topics are suggested to the Board of Studies by the concern faculty through
    Head of Institution for the updation or revision of the courses.

    The identified curricular gaps are listed in Table 2.1.1.b.
