Undergraduate students are the important element of any University/Institution involved in higher education and research. They influence the education system and their involvement, experience and satisfaction determines the success or failure of any Institution. Research is an integral component of the teaching-learning process and it has been found that academic excellence depends on research excellence. In this context, there is a need to involve undergraduate students in the research activities in different disciplines, in order to train them to understand the nuances of research. In fact the involvement of undergraduate students in faculty research activities is very minimal and they are denied the benefits of a research-based learning experience. This paper tries to present the current status of involvement of undergraduate students in research activities in two departments in an autonomous Institution. It discusses the students' awareness, experiences and perceptions and suggests measures that can be taken to increase their involvement in research.

Teaching-learning process is the important component of any education system. In the context of outcome based education (OBE), its outcomes have assumed significance. There has been a paradigm shift from a teacher-centered education system to a learner-centered system, where students play a major role. The explosion in information and communication technology has impacted education in a big way. There has been a sustained interest and use of information and communication technology (ICT) in higher education. This paper tries to provide some perspective on use of ICT for enhancing the teachinglearning outcomes. Video is one technology which is being widely used both in normal mode and distance mode for delivery of education. Some thoughts on use of video has been discussed based on the literature and a plan of action for implementing video in teaching one course in the author's institution has been presented. A survey instrument regarding use of ICT by teachers has been administered and the results of the same have been presented to establish the need for use of ICT in teachinglearning process.Keywords

Project based learning (PBL) is increasingly being used in technical education as a learningmethodology to enhance student learning and make them useful to the society and employable. There is a need to integrate it into the existing curriculum to make it current and relevant to the society. Projects have been an integral part of technical education, ever since it started. But these have not been managed properly to make students realize the use of this for their learning. The needs of the industries keep changing and the developments in science and technology is so fast that existing technologies become outdated in no time. In this changing scenario, there is a need to implement PBL in the teaching-learning process to effectively attain the 'outcomes' of a course, as there is a transformation to 'Outcome-based Education' (OBE), and the accreditation is also OBE based. Among the various aspects, the role of faculty in effective implementation of PBL is very important. In this context, this paper will analyze the various issues faced by the faculty and then take one of the departments of the authors' institution for obtaining feedback based on a survey instrument. The preliminary findings are presenteda long with the general guidelines to be followed to overcome difficulties and to facilitate effective implementation of PBL.Keywords

Engineering education has seen lot of changes in the last fifty years. There has been a drastic change in the way engineering education is delivered today than it was before. In today's world, the emphasis is on 'outcomes', and we are supposed to follow the 'outcomes based education' (OBE). The accreditation methodology adopted by the National Board of Accreditation (NBA) is outcomes based, where the focus in on the student (learner), rather than the teacher. In this scenario, the approach to teach engineering also should undergo a change and accordingly, this paper provides some thoughts on the need to follow a structured approach to teach engineering. The formal training of teachers is very much essential, as teachers lack awareness about the need to follow a proper methodology when they teach their students. A two day workshop carried out at the authors' institution has provided some valuable feedback regarding the need for such a structured approach to teach engineering. Such kind of programs / courses will go a long way in improving the quality of teaching and make the teachers more oriented towards OBE.Keywords
