Abstract

This paper discusses a new strategy to enhance the industry institute collaboration to achieve academic excellence. It is an eight point program to be equally implemented both by the industry and the institute in coordination. Each point is carefully listed after a survey from the stake holders. It started with the teachers being deputed to the industry of their choice, they will work there as part of the program apart from the regular teaching load. The exposure to industrial working environment will help them to acquire new skill sets. This is an exchange program and the local industries are involved to connect easily and avoid travelling during pandemic. This approach helped the faculty to understand the industry setup and personally interact with them. During the interaction it was also noticed that the lower technical cadre of the industry lacked theoretical know how and required the involvement of the academicians. The approach eventually upgraded to the beginning of an exchange program and was well appreciated. The paper discusses the methodology in detail which can be adopted for benefit at large.

Abstract

“Technology will not replace great teachers but technology in hands of great teachers can be a transformational”. Going by the tagline, it is true nothing can replace great teachers but the teaching learning practices can be enhanced to transfer the knowledge in a more effective way. The pandemic years demanded sudden change in the teaching concepts, teachers did adapt to it but with limited resources and time. We are all now aware and know that to change is to evolve. We must enhance the teaching learning methodologies in a structured way. In this paper we are proposing a five point strategy to augment the Teaching Learning (TL) process. The points are selected based on the inputs given by participants through a pre implementation survey conducted by us. The points were later used to teach two subjects both from Electronics and Communication and Electrical and Electronics disciplines. The improvement in the learning curve was motivating.
