Abstract
Assessment, grading, evaluation is one of the trending topic in engineering these days and another trending topic is problem solving skills development in engineering students. In engineering course like Electromagnetic Theory and Transmission Line (EMTL) which is more inclined towards mathematics it requires more problem solving skills in students. While developing this kind of skills it is difficult for instructor to facilitate and grade students and see whether the students have followed the problem solving process or not. Considering this two issue, this paper compares the Peer grades and Instructor evaluated grades and describes problem solving activity. The method used for implementing Peer Evaluation activity is Enquiry Based Learning. This activity of problem solving was implemented on N=28 students for the course EMTL in Hyderabad Institute of Technology And Management. The results obtained were significantly positive when comparison is done between Peer and Instructor Evaluated grades and problem solving activity was successfully implemented. Limitations of the implementations are discussed in the paper.
