Abstract

Information storage is a central pillar of information technology. To enhance student awareness about Information Storage Technology, Storage Area Network (SAN) course was introduced for undergraduate students at VII semester level in Information Science & Engineering curricula. SAN deals with storing, managing, and protecting Digital Information in Classic, Virtualized, and Cloud Environments. EMC's open curriculum, aimed at addressing the knowledge gap that exists in the IT industry in the area of information storage and emerging technologies. The Storage Area Network (SAN)/Information Storage and Management (ISM) course proposed by EMC Academic Alliance is designed and developed to enable students to achieve a comprehensive understanding of all the segments of storage technology. Here SAN course was designed by considering EMC Academic Alliance course contents and framed Course Learning Objectives. Course activity was dedicated for the study and presentation of white papers on EMC products related to the concepts which they have studied. Industry visit to EMC Corporation was organized to gain knowledge about current storage technologies and how storage concepts are implemented in Data Center. At the end of the course, an EMC Proven Professional Certification online exam was conducted in our college. Through this course we have mapped some of the program outcomes with ABET criteria.

Abstract

Procedure oriented and object oriented programming paradigms have been extensively used in the industry to develop real world applications since from several years. Procedure oriented programming languages are suitable for building system software's where as object oriented programming is suitable for developing application software's. Traditionally, students used to develop two different course projects by using two different programming paradigms in successive semesters. Many times, students were not able to realize differences between two different approaches of solving a common problem. In order to address this issue,we present our experience of developing course project by using two different programming paradigms. In this course project activity, students develop the real world application using procedure oriented programming at the earlier semester. In the later semester, students develop the same application by using object oriented approach. By this, student will realize importance of solving a common problem by using top down as well as bottom up approaches. Improvement in the program outcomes compared with the traditional approach justifies the effectiveness of incorporating the new approach.

Keywords

Abstract

Along with core courses, an education program is usually designed with discretionary elective courses for professional advancement. It is naturally inherent that most electives' course contents need periodic apprise to persevere to the state-of-art. The pace at which industries adapt to new technologies is considerably rapid as compared to the teaching and learning that happens at the university. However, an elective design needs an equal role and support to be played by the industry and the institute. This paper proposes the design principles for an elective course, which envelopes from curriculum structure to evaluation methodologies. The principles are outlined to cover the design aspects, selection methodologies for the content and course materials, syllabus division to units, course learning outcomes, teaching pedagogy, industry principles, evaluation methodologies, and course learning attainment. Each principle is presented with an objective and deliberation. The intended principles were applied to the design and delivery of an elective – Semantic Web. The course, which was offered with an industry-institute collaboration, was opted by 125 students in the sixth semester. The paper further presents each of the principles as applied and delivered for the semantic web course. The course attainment with respect to course learning outcomes, student elective opt ratio, and the feedback obtained stand in favor of the proposed model. The principles can be applied to design the elective for enhanced learning experiences and make students industry-ready, which is one of the major objectives for introducing the electives.
