Best Practice
ACTIVITY / PROJECT BASED LEARNING (ABL/PBL)
Effective participation of students in the teaching learning process is achieved by introducing activity / project based learning in the courses. Selected list of courses are identified to adapt activity/ project based learning every semester. Representative list of courseschosen for Activity / Project based learning in the semester is given below:
Activity based learning Course.
- Applied Materials Engineering
Project based learning Courses.
- Industrial Robotics and Automation.
- Solid Mechanics.
- Metal Cutting and Machine Tools.
- Transmission Systems Design.
- Finite Element Analysis.
- Automobile Engineering.
PEER ASSISTED LEARNING(PAL)
Peer assisted learning programmeis started for assisting fast learning ability challenged students which involves students(typically from the class toppers) to help them under the supervision of staff.
Some of the courses forwhich PAL conducted are:
- Thermodynamics.
- Solid Mechanics.
- Transmission System Design.
- Machine Dynamics.
LAB RESTRUCTURING
Lab courses are restructured periodically in order to equip the students with industry readiness. Experiments are framed in a non-conventional way to make the students to design their own way of experimentation and apply the theory to practice.Some of the examples are shown below:
- In MEB2105 Drafting & Modeling Lab course, instead of giving dimensioned drawing from text book, real time engineering components like gears, couplings, crane hook, various joint are given to draft and create the model using software
- MEB 2222 Manufacturing Technology lab course allows students to design the sequence their own manufacturing processes to fabricate a particular component
