Abstract

It has been observed (through feedback from the industry and surveys) that engineering graduates are lacking in the skills required to successfully apply subject knowledge and do not possess professional inputs required by the industry. The industry currently invests huge amounts in training newly recruited fresh graduates. Industry is eager to recruit graduates who possess the required skills. In a bid to satisfy industry demands, various kinds of trainings are being taken up in colleges to improve the employability skills among their students. The proposed method was implemented at college level and it was planned to start the events at departmental level. This paper presents these efforts made in Department of Electrical&Electronics Engineering(EEE) at Nalla Malla Reddy Engineering College, affi liated to a state university JNTU, Hyderabad, India, to bridge the gap in the employability skills. The paper also proposes improvements in the current methods followed for better outcomes in communication skills, analytical thinking, and improvement in subject knowledge.

Abstract

Research plays a key role in improving the quality of education, which enables the student to improve innovative thinking and also to apply knowledge for a better society. The advantage for an institute in industry-institute collaboration is to provide placements and internships to the students which ultimately improve employability opportunities. An industry needs assistance of specialists for doing analysis of research problems. This resource is available in the engineering institutions. Hence a collaborative research benefits both industry and institute. This is cost effective solution for industry and a technology booster for institute. The highest level of industry institute collaboration is industry institute research. This can help the institute in building up their research profile and also for the industry to get research solutions to their problems, and gain access to intellectual property to convert them into business at large. This paper presents case studies of institutions that have established industry institution collaborations and research, and presents detailed guidelines for private self-financed affiliated colleges to develop industry institute collaborations and to establish industry institute research which could result in improvement of research activities of an institute resulting in improved quality of technical education.

Abstract

Outcome Based Education (OBE) has become world wide standard in the current education system. OBE provides a clear and unambiguous framework for curriculum planning. It stresses on the end product- what graduate can do after completing course rather than on the educational process. Graduate Attributes can be defined as qualities, attitudes and dispositions that graduates should possess in full or part,when they have completed their course of study. OBE is measured by assessing the attainment of Graduate Attributes. This paper presents a case study of a course using Google Classroom and compared with two other courses being taught that do not use Google Classroom in terms of attainment of Graduate Attributes.
