To improve engineering education quality of student, project is a major concern. Project experience provides a major pathway for student’s career either for their professional career or upgrading the qualification through Post Graduation or Ph.D. in Engineering. Being a very practical field, it requires experience and exposure to the real world to be expertise and successful in a certain domain. Project work integrates hands-on experiences with education which facilitate them while they are on their job desk and are being appreciated for their updated knowledge. Quality projects require effective project management. It is observed that there is very less studies done on the project management skills required for the engineering graduates. This will assist the students to learn and adequately apply their knowledge in their future project work which will help them to convey a superior focused on and more significant projects. To strengthen student project development, there is a need to incorporate innovative practices through set of program specific research activities with defined strategies. Also program specific research activities will attain higher values for program outcome.Keywords

As the pace of technology development and its applications for industry increases, the knowledge gap between academic curriculum and industry-readiness of technical school graduates also increases. Since a professor can only focus on a limited number of topics in a classroom environment, peer learning can significantly increase the knowledge covered. We have identified several shortcomings in the traditional paradigm of teaching methodology and propose in this paper a cyclical autonomous learning-based methodology that aims to overcome these shortcomings. Autonomous learning in the context of our research refers to a situation where learners take charge of their learning and are responsible for all the decision-making for the progression of the skill they want to acquire. The proposed methodology is a feedback-based student-industry led model that reviews and rectifies itself based on the present needs and requirements. This study explores this methodology which identifies the vital points required to develop student-based technical clubs and leveraging industry-based student initiatives to boost autonomous learning, which will help its members prepare for their careers and gain industry- relevant knowledge. Upon implementing the same vital points, we found a statistically significant increase of 800% in the gained industry-relevant knowledge of the club members, characterized by the dramatic increase in scholarships given by industry leaders, achieved by the club members. The study also found that the proposed methodology is also more effective and cogent than the traditional methods in engaging the students, which was clearly evinced by an 88.89% increase in average attendance. We also found a marked increase in overall ratings, from 8.6 to 9.2, using the proposed methodology. The study thus offers promising results in decreasing the knowledge gap, based on which institutions may be exhorted to adopt the proposed methodology for preparing industry-ready graduates.Keywords
