Traditional instructor-centered, lecture-based teaching methods in engineering education have been criticized for being too linear, dogmatic, systematic and constraining. This paper proposes 'Extreme Pedagogy', a student-centered teaching-learning conceptual framework to improve quality of engineering education which is built on four core values: students and teachers and their interactions, working knowledge, collaboration with students and responding to change. Extreme Pedagogy derives its philosophy from Extreme Programming, an agile software methodology. Extreme Pedagogy aims at continuous improvement of student learning, keeping students' needs and satisfaction as its focus.Keywords

Students of the millennial generation, born in the late twentieth century, have been raised in an environment of technology, entertainment, information and social connections. Unlike their predecessors in the previous generation, they have different educational expectations. The differences these students bring to the classroom are a challenge and also an opportunity for the instructors to provide useful learning experiences to these students. Traditional pedagogy, which is characterized by lecture-styled teaching seems to be inappropriate to respond to the needs and characteristics of the millennials. This paper discusses the unique characteristics of the millennial students, limitations of the traditional pedagogy to serve the millennials and proposes a novel pedagogy called, Extreme Pedagogy as an alternative to engage effectively today’s students in the engineering classroom.Keywords
