Abstract

At the end of graduation, young engineers will be acquainted with rich theoretical background. However students lack applying this knowledge in real time. Hence darning of curriculum is required to meet at least few employer requirements. This can be done by industry- academia interaction. Considering the input of experts, course instructor should follow a well-focused and designed pedagogical method to train students. In this paper authors discuss about effective Teaching-Learning process for undergraduate students with an aid of Industry Standard simulation tool. It is proposed to use Industry Standard simulation tool PSpice for various mandatory courses like Circuit Analysis (CA),Analog Electronic Circuits (AEC), Digital Electronics Circuits (DEC). This helps in making students meet the preliminary step in the design of Embedded Systems.Typical PSpice simulation examples on each course mentioned above are included and possible outcomes and achievement of Performance indicators are also discussed.

Abstract

The success rate in the career of an individual depends mainly on the knowledge acquired during graduation. In the current COVID-19 pandemic scenario, engaging students to develop practical skills through an online platform is inevitable. Students by the end of graduation need to be industry-ready, for which working in a team to refine practical skills is mandatory. It is a known fact that due to cognitive diversity, working in a team makes it possible to perceive different perspectives, supplement one another, and make a reciprocal contribution towards the achievement of goals. Applying conceptual ideas in a team to enhance the hands-on experience is one of the tactics. Hence, in this paper, the authors propose the inclusion of Value Added Course (VAC) in the Electrical and Electronics Engineering curriculum to make students proficient and industry-ready. VAC can be offered to students during vacation, soon after the completion of third-semester exams. The use of an appropriate online platform addresses the requirements of the Teaching-Learning process. This paper proposes supplementing the initial steps of product design to assimilate fore knowledge of fundamental courses of third semester through pragmatic approach. The effectiveness of the proposed methodology is described by measuring the Graduate Attributes attained.
