Innovations by the faculty in Teaching and Learning:

Course Delivery Methods/Modes:

Class room Lectures: The main delivery method for the courses is lecture interspersed with discussion. This helps in the obtaining a sound understanding of the course fundamentals, design and implementation issues, etc.

Presentations by LCD Projectors: The abstract concepts difficult to imagine are presented through power point presentations and animation tools to impart insight into the topic. Presentations also illustrate ideas and concepts in graphics form. Video presentations will effectively communicate the working of actual engineering solutions and their impact.

Simulations or Demo: In some courses, the design and experimentation concepts are also discussed in the form of demo or simulations. The students are exposed to different tools for implementation and experimentation.

Project: Mini projects and Final projects are carried out by a group of students under the guidance of faculty wherein students apply the knowledge of all related courses in providing hardware/software solutions and present demonstrable product to a panel of supervisors.

Group Discussions: GD helps the students to improve their skills and helps them to interact before a crew of people during placements.

Industrial Visits: Industrial visits are arranged to get the student’s acquainted with industrial environment and work ethics.

E-Learning Resources: Videos and E-learning material are used for giving exposure to domain expertise of the faculties from various reputed institutes like NPTEL, etc.

Faculty Video Lectures for teaching and learning: Videos and E-learning material are used for giving exposure to domain expertise of the faculties from various reputed institutes like NPTEL, etc.
