Abstract

Digital image processing is a method to perform arithmetic operations on an image to improve its quality. Digital image processing has many advantages over analog image processing. Now a Day the usage of Digital Image Processing all over the world has increased in different domains. There are many opportunities for a fresher graduate with Digital Image Processing skills. So, to know the different techniques of Digital Image Processing Project Based Learning Methodology is found very useful to the fresher graduates. Project Based Learning Methodology is implemented by using MATLAB Software and applied to this course. This Paper Presents the Procedure to implement a Project Based Learning Methodology to develop various applications in the area of Digital Image Processing. By Using Project Based Learning we can motivate the students more effectively.

Keywords

Digital Image Processing, Project Based Learning Methodology, MATLAB.

Abstract

Students interaction in the online classroom with instructor is an important consideration in ensuring that students can improve their knowledge and reach a higher level of achievement in engineering courses. This study focuses on fostering student's interaction and improves learning for a course digital image processing offered in a private institution of higher education (HITAM) in Telangana, India. Interactive features includes most important synchronous discussions and polls in scheduled sessions, and which can be achieved via social media tools for sharing of information and resources. Qualitative student feedback was analysed regarding the new way of delivering the course. Findings indicated that students who attended weekly synchronous sessions valued online session as it give them more information about image visual than the traditional class. Problems identified included technical difficulties during synchronous sessions, absenteeism, participation was lacking on the questioning&discussion and inability to attend synchronous sessions due to scheduling of their individual class of interest like GRE etc. In addition, few students made use of the opportunity to interact via social media. While students expressed that the visual components of the course were valuable and helped them in qualifying the Assessments, several areas in which improvement may be made remain. This paper proposes blended online learning as one of the efficient method to improve learning. The analytical result from this study is shown, which is the comparison of online learning and blended online learning.

Abstract

The importance and effectiveness of faculty training programs to enhance and elevate faculty members' professional abilities in teaching are well documented in the literature knowledge based on a subject matter is not enough to claim competency in teaching. Besides subject matter, teaching professional competency requires additional "nonacademic" knowledge (i.e. social, administrative and technical). This analogy for faculty competency was supported in a report developed by Hendriks, M et.al. [4] [2010]. EPICS (Engineering Projects In Community Service).There is a need of skilled faculty, this paper describes about learning's of the epics faculty from a failure project. The method which followed is the epics design process and the result showed that a lot of learning's happening in the process of developing a project. Though the project has failed but we could gain immense experience through this project. The present paper gives an insight into our experience.

Abstract

The project is meant for an old age home as we worked under EPICS (Engineering Projects in Community Services) during our mini project by following EPICS design process. We identified community partner's need and accordingly we came up with "I2P Air Purifier". This air purifier is capable of monitoring and cleaning the air present in a room automatically, when the set limit exceeds as per doctor's prescription. I2P air purifier consists of two parts, one is monitoring part which displays temperature, humidity, LPG leakage, carbon content and other gases present in the air and gives indication whenever required about exceeded levels and other part is filter which consists of several layers through which air passes and gets purified. The device is portable and can be used anywhere.

Abstract

Today's scenario it was very difficult for instructor to go and check the progress of each student in the class. In traditional approach in drawing course instructor have to explain in black board each and every drawings and it is a time consuming, student will not understand each part drawings clearly. For improving the learning in students Team Based Learning applied to machine drawing course in engineering. The purpose of this paper is to know the progress by adapting the pedagogy team based learning in Machine Drawing subject. In this pedagogy, students learn in groups and this TBL method will improve the student learning skills, problem solving technique, good knowledge and communication. The faculty can easily identify the correct learning difficulties on the spot, but it is not possible to find easily in the traditional approach. These include motivating the student to learn in groups to understand the concept very clearly. This subject includes full of drawing problems by applying TBL pedagogy, student will learn the machine drawing clearly. In this TBL method on each team one lateral entry student or diploma passed student included in the every team.

Abstract

In Today's scenario, all the instructor are trying to mould themselves to engage students in learning through doing engineering than just studying engineering to meet the need of the 21st century learners. In this paper, EPICS initiative implementation which promotes doing engineering is being described and also focused on describing the training which team instructor had gone through and what learning's & experiences were gained are explained briefly. The results showed that Instructors enjoyed the training and had lot of learning as they were working with real community partner for whom they developed and delivered the product as per the problem identified using design thinking process. This type of learning experiences can be improved by using better resources and significant time for doing project as the training described in this paper was short duration. The goal of this paper is to identify need of the old age people in terms of support to bare the capacity of weight of a person by depending on table while having food and medicine. The table should have Strong and convenient one. The table should enough to sustain the weight of the old people while having food and medicine. The table should have a ortability based on old age people requirement.

Abstract

For many homework, mini and final projects in all the courses that the author taught since the last more than 5 years, the students were asked as a part of course requirements to include critical real life examples, and a discussion of how poorly designed mechanical components or subsystems can cause safety concerns and affect the society at large in one way or the other. These requirements partially address some of the students' outcomes under General ABET's Criterion 3. Of particular interest are the students' understanding of the professional ethics (outcome 'f'), and understanding the impact of engineering solutions and how they impact the society (outcome 'h'). In order to help in identifying some of the real life engineering components, the author showed online videos and also used "Touch and fell" (T&F) idea in which some of the failed or non-functioning engineering components (shafts, bearings, bolts, etc.) were brought to the class to do first order reverse engineering (reconstruction of failures using mechanics approach). While few junior and senior level textbooks in the Mechanics, Design, Thermal Sciences and Production areas do include few worked examples and exercise problems based on real life industry applications, they do not generally include a discussion based on the final results from ethical or societal impact points of view. Also, most chapter-end exercise problems are usually structured based on directly using concepts and formulas from the chapter and not necessarily require a realization of real life applications of such problems. Usually, this may be beyond the scope of some classes, or, it may be perhaps due to the time constraints faced by instructors, or, due to lack of maturity level of students. Similar is the experience with the openended mini-projects such books may suggest. On another issue, some of the instructors may not have enough industry exposure to think of real life applications of homework problems and project assignments.
