Majority of the students graduated from engineering colleges in India fail to justify their grades given to their project work. Academic Projects of 3 to 6 months duration are often offered to them to fulfill the course requirement. Developing a systematic assessment scheme helps the students to work on the expectations and teachers to grade within the set criteria. Existing system of project evaluation merely covers the basic things like abstract, technical and documentation reviews with a generalized grading policy. This paper is an attempt to help the teachers design a rubric considering specific modules to effectively assess the project work. Students can plan their work schedule and anticipate the expectations based on the rubric supplied to them. Job of the teachers is complex during the design of rubric but becomes quite simple when actual grading takes place.Keywords

The paper deals with the impact of motivation of faculty and students, on effectiveness of teaching and learning processes respectively. The motivation for choosing engineering as career by the students, and for joining teaching and pursuing it as career by faculty;was probed by a survey of both these stakeholders in the institution. It was found that only half of the students were self- motivated to pursue engineering education. Considerable level of correlation emerged between reasons for pursuit of higher studies and aspirations of type of jobs the students prefer after their studies. Nearly a quarter of the student population in the survey wanted to be entrepreneurs after five years of work experience and beyond. The motivation of faculty to learn and deliver effectively was correlated to their aspirations to pursue research. On the flip side, a quarter of the faculty who didn't get any suitable job before joining teaching, exhibited low motivation to learn and teach, and also considered the authority they wield on students and respect they get from parents as motivating factors to continue in the job. The survey also revealed their wide differences in perceptions of the effectiveness of the pedagogy. The understanding of these factors and creating enabling environment in institutions would enhance quality of engineering education in the Indian context.Keywords
