Abstract

In Outcome Based Education, defining Course Outcomes, content delivery and evaluation methods complement each other resulting in effective learning. Study of Control systems is vital in Electronics Engineering so that the graduate develops ability to design a system, component, or process to meet desired stability needs. However, in Electrical Networks and Control System Engineering it is experienced that students find it difficult to understand concepts of frequency domain analysis. and control system components. The related course outcomes attainment is less than the expected level. This paper focuses on detailing the methods used to attain the course outcomes by linking the two courses viz. Electrical Networks and Control System Engineering. It also discusses the effect on performance of students in Control System Engineering course after improvisations in content delivery and assessment tools.The feedback of students shows that students are motivated to learn better with this approach.

Abstract

Active learning approach in teaching learning process is quite useful and beneficial. It provides depth knowledge of content and active involvement in the class. Surveys and studies in the field of educational technology have proved this. Many educational institutes like IITs and NITs and Engineering colleges are adopting active learning approaches for making their teaching learning methods better. In active learning teacher acts as facilitators rather than one-way suppliers of information.

In this paper teacher has tried to prove that in her subject Electrical Network by using active learning techniques students have performed better and learnt more.This has been proved by showing the results of two consecutive years.

Abstract

MOODLE based classroom is implemented to improve teaching learning process. Some content of curriculum was covered using flip classroom technique which includes out-class and in-class activity (using active learning strategies). Attainment of course outcomes of each course contribute to the programme outcomes. Results of two consecutive years are compared and the results show that there is significant improvement in the Course outcomes of the course for these two consecutive years. It was experienced in academic year 2016-17 students' finds difficult to understand concept of time domain and frequency domain analysis. Different teaching methodologies have been incorporated in the academic year 2017-18 to make these topics understandable.
