The typical pattern of classroom interaction is the Initiation - Response - Evaluation (IRE) pattern which has been accountable for 70% of teacher - student classroom interactions. In this IRE approach, a teacher initiation (I) is followed by a student reply (R) and then an evaluation of this reply (E) by the teacher. IRE approach has been considered unrewarding and leads to boring classroom discussions. Also, there is an increasing need to provide students with learning experiences that reflect the challenges and opportunities of the 21st century. One key class of workforce skills relates to Rapid Collaborative Knowledge Building (RCKB). RCKB techniques include problem identification, brainstorming, prioritizing, concept mapping, and action planning. With inclusion of these techniques in the classroom, students learn the existing subject more deeply and also to become active participants in 21st century. Keeping all these aspects in mind the Student - Team - Achievement - Divisions (STAD) collaborative activity was planned and implemented. In traditional teaching approach a teacher in a classroom stands on the dais and delivers a lecture and writes on a black board. The teacher is aware that most students do not understood the lesson and the teacher is helpless as the class slot is just of one hour and there is a lot of material to cover before the test at the end of the unit. This traditional learning model will not encourage students who are accustomed to active learning, either on their own or in small groups of classmates. In order to address this issue flipped classroom was implemented. The work presented in this paper summarizes the effectiveness of collaborative activity and flipped classroom used in enhancing students' learning and performance in basic electrical engineering course.Keywords

At KLE Technological University, Surveying is a core 4 credit course for undergraduate civil engineering students, where a lecture-only mode of delivery is provided for 160 students in III semester. The curriculum was set to refine for up-to-date technology and to contribute for the enhancement of students acquiring industry-based skills. As a part of curriculum, the objective is to provide significant amount of hands-on training on Total Station and Surfer8 software to obtain adequate learning outcomes. This is achieved through laboratory courses like Survey Practice I in III semester and Survey Practice II in IV semester. In order to achieve these objectives, the students of semester IV were introduced with the equipment 'Total Station' which they used to carry out the open ended experiment in Survey Practice II laboratory course. This activity was implemented successfully for the first time in curriculum for the semester IV students. Total Station is a real-time system embedded with an onboard computer used for displaying and storing the data. The open ended experiment was divided into three tasks; traversing civil engineering department area, performing profile leveling using total station and mapping using the software Surfer8. This activity was scheduled for three weeks; data collection (first week), hands-on software training (second week) and report submission and assessment using rubrics (third week). The objectives of the activity were measured using three parameters. As per the assessment, the attainment of parameters data collection and documentation is 82.45% and 80.91%, whereas the attainment of the parameter analysis using software is comparatively less which is 75.67%.Keywords

Despite the need of the hour, many instructors are reluctant in introducing technology in classroom. The reasons for being reluctant could be lack of confidence, availability of time and lack of skills required for using technology. Power point presentations form the introductory step in incorporating technology in classroom. Power point presentation provides instructors an opportunity to build innovative and dynamic presentations that command students' attention and are fun to use. The cost incurred in preparing a presentation is economically and financially minimal. The advantages of using a power point presentation are; it provides visual appeal, animated graphics, notes in an organized manner, updated information in the slides using the web links, more of the class time can be used for executing activities and interacting with students. This study investigates students' perception on usage of power point presentation in class in comparison with chalk and talk. This activity was implemented in two courses Basic Electrical Engineering and Modern Control Systems.Keywords

Controller design is very essential and critical in any control systems. In order to make a system function as desired it is required to design the controller parameters appropriately and then use it in the control system. In this paper an attempt is made in enhancing the controller design skills through assignments which involves design of controller parameters and its verification using simulation. Proportional - Integral (PI) controllers and Proportional - Integral - Derivative (PID) controllers are considered in the assignment questions. Zeigler - Nichols tuning method is used to design the controller parameters and these controller parameters are plugged in the controller and the system as a whole is simulated in SCILAB simulation tool for the verification of the controller design. The assessment of the assignment questions is done using rubrics. The result of assessment shows a good percentage attainment of the design outcome.Keywords

The stereotyped instruction system is the traditional method of imparting instructions. This method imparts the information without knowing the existing level of understating of the learner. This leads to a series of misconceptions. A concept inventory identifies the misconceptions with respect to important concepts. This paper aims at assessing the students' prior knowledge and identifying misconceptions. It uses concept inventory as a tool to overcome misconceptions. The change in conceptual development is measured.Keywords

In the recent past, engineering education research (EER) is gaining increasing acceptance and recognition globally. Specifically, EER is growing in India over the last decade. As EER is nascent in India, there is a need to understand the different research methods in EER such that appropriate methods are chosen while conducting EER-related activities. EER involves three methods: quantitative, qualitative, and mixed research methods. The purpose of this paper is to document in detail all the steps followed by specific examples in quantitative research methods when conducting EER. Quantitative research is a systematic investigation of a research topic under consideration by collecting quantifiable data and performing mathematical and statistical manipulations on the collected data to produce findings that add to the existing body of literature. In quantitative research studies, data is collected by sending out online polls, questionnaires, surveys, etc. Quantitative research methods are used to fundamentally quantify different aspects in research-related activities such as attitudes, beliefs, behaviours, opinions, etc. of the samples under study to provide meaningful conclusions with noteworthy implications.
The different steps used in a quantitative research study typically include (1) focusing on your interests and finalizing the research topic, (2) framing research questions to be investigated, (3) conducting a thorough literature review, (4) choosing/creating an appropriate framework to guide the study (5) designing the research, (6) selecting the research site and research participants, (7) collecting data by sending out surveys, (8) analysing the collected data, (9) documenting important findings, and (10) publishing results. Quantitative research offers various advantages including reaching a higher sample size, quick data collection, the generalizability of the findings, etc. This paper will be of help to novice engineering education researchers as they can use this paper as a process document to guide themselves when conducting quantitative research projects.

In this article, the authors explore and understand what constitutes engineering thinking and whether secondary and higher secondary school curricula in India empower students to make an informed decision regarding engineering as a career choice. To analyse the elements of engineering thinking, the principles of K12 level engineering by t he Na t io nal Aca demy of E nginee ri ng a nd Engineering Habits of Mind (EHoM) by the Royal Academy of Engineering are referred to. The syllabi of the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) and four Indian states (Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka) are studied, which reveal that CBSE includes only one element of EHoM (creative problem-solving) in higher secondary grade curriculum. The syllabi of four Indian states revealed that the principles identified by the National Academy of Engineering (NAE) are missing in both grades. As an exception, the syllabus of Maharashtra has a creative problem-solving element in class-12 of higher secondary grades. The authors believe that introducing engineering thinking in schools will empower students to choose engineering as a career.Keywords
