In the quest for approaches to recreate "real" configuration experiences in our classrooms, the model of community service learning is frequently ignored within educational curriculum. It is, however, a powerful model for learning the engineering design process. SR Engineering College introduced the EPICS - Engineering Projects in Community Service as an elective course in the curriculum. This academic credit based course is highlighted with its objectives and some projects are illustrated to give complete awareness about the course modules. The projects selected illustrate: mechanical, civil, electrical, hardware and software design in the context of service learning. A discussion of how the Program Objectives align with the National Board of Accreditation's Outcome Based Education (NBA's OBE) criteria is also included.Keywords

This paper outlines the primary focus for the change required to improve the quality of education in Engineering Institute. The basic objective of education is to equip the student with employability skills and entrepreneur skills to sustain in the current environment. This paper presents paradigm shift observed at SR Engineering College in terms of teaching and learning pedagogies. The Transformations made in the curriculum from the traditional theoretical approach towards the project-based learning. A strong emphasis on "Hands on experience" made SR Engineering College unique among the other institutes of Telangana region. Finally, this paper describes the achievements and learning reflections of the student community.Keywords

Online teaching and learning existed before COVID-19 pandemic and used as a supportive option to the offline mode. During the pandemic, students and teachers were forced to adopt online methods and this called for a need to realize the impact, adaptability, challenges and effect on both faculty and students. Surveys were carried out with an objective to understand the faculty and students’ transformation process from offline to the online mode of teaching and learning. Various issues including online course perceptions, delivery methods, technical adaptability, students’ engagement were surveyed for both students and teachers in the engineering major.
The survey was carried out in three phases during the lockdown period, before commencement of classes, 10 days after commencement and after completion of half of the syllabus. 500 engineering undergraduates and 45 engineering teachers participated in this survey.
This survey will help teachers to understand the importance of training on the new generation tools for online teaching. Students will also realize the importance of self-learning and the way to compensate for the missing social life during the lockdown through online technical discussion during the assignments.
Training on online tools and techniques played an important role in teachers’ delivery method in the online mode that resulted in improvement in their confidence according to the survey. Reflections by viewing their own recorded video played an important role for the teachers where 80% of the faculty members modified their delivery methods for online teaching. The survey showed that students embraced the new space and 85% of students got involved in online course discussions that enhanced their self-learning. 65% of students suggested that the missing on-campus social life was partially compensated due to online education. The forced online teaching and learning due to the lockdown, unlocked many prospects for teachers and students to explore the various online tools.

Mentoring in higher education facilitates students to enhance the confidence level, improves the probability of academic accomplishment, and reduces chances of failure. Students depend on the expertise and involvement of mentors to support them graduate in a well-timed manner and guide on them to their best possible career. The mentoring significance is not always distinctly understood in education. Researchers are becoming gradually more sensible of its complexity. Choosing a mentor is critical in any career field, and engineering is no different. Mentors can offer future engineers’ an instrumental guidance and assistance early in their careers.
This research study explores the different learning patterns of the engineering students and recommends the new approaches required for the successful mentoring of these millennial students. Project-based course ‘Product Design Studio’ is considered, and total strength of 50 students classified into 4 groups based on their competency and commitment levels. At least one student from each of these 4 groups combined and 11 project teams formulated for the execution of the project. Competency levels identified through a test based on the skillset required for the project execution. Four different training models are proposed in this paper for each of the groups formulated and these approaches successfully implemented by the mentors. The learning reflections of the mentors and mentees are presented in this paper. The final product demonstration by the students reflected the success of the novel approaches implemented by the mentors. Competency and Commitment are the key factors to be considered for analyzing the performance of the students. in addition to the mentoring students for improving their competency levels, the role assigned during the project execution promoted the 21st century skillset among the students. There is a huge scope to research and develop the appropriate mentoring strategies for the human resource management and development in the project-based courses.
