As education and technology merge, the opportunities for teaching and learning increase even more. However, rapid rate of change in the fields of technology like in Electrical, Electronics and Computer poses special problems for the engineering disciplines and more so in the area of experimental work where major concerns arise. The challenge is to provide students with meaningful, up-to-date and relevant practical exposure within the limitations imposed by finite resources in laboratory infrastructure. Probably one of the viable solutions is to interface students and physical world using computer based techniques. This paper presents some thoughts and demonstrate some implementations on using a low cost open source hardware tool "expEYES" along with existing laboratory equipment in order to give a flexible, easy to evaluate new ideas, attractive and stimulating natural curiosity in students for gaining integrating learning experiences in the laboratories.- Impact of Udyogini Scheme on Employment Generation of Women Beneficiaries

Objectives: The study analyses the impact of Udyogini scheme on employment generation of rural women beneficiaries.
Methods and statistical analysis: The study is based on primary data collected from 120 rural women beneficiaries of Udyogini scheme. The collected data was analyzed using mean, percentage, Zero order correlation test and paired ‘t’ test.
Findings: The study findings revealed that there is an increase of man days of employment among rural women beneficiaries by 46.72 per cent after joining Udyogini scheme. The data subjected for statistical test reveals the enhancement of man days of employment among beneficiaries before (546 man days) and after (745 man days) joining Udyogini scheme was found to be highly significant at one per cent level of probability.
Application/Improvements: Udyogini scheme is an innovative scheme which has created adequate employment opportunities to the rural women through establishing micro enterprises.

At the end of graduation, young engineers will be acquainted with rich theoretical background. However students lack applying this knowledge in real time. Hence darning of curriculum is required to meet at least few employer requirements. This can be done by industry- academia interaction. Considering the input of experts, course instructor should follow a well-focused and designed pedagogical method to train students. In this paper authors discuss about effective Teaching-Learning process for undergraduate students with an aid of Industry Standard simulation tool. It is proposed to use Industry Standard simulation tool PSpice for various mandatory courses like Circuit Analysis (CA),Analog Electronic Circuits (AEC), Digital Electronics Circuits (DEC). This helps in making students meet the preliminary step in the design of Embedded Systems.Typical PSpice simulation examples on each course mentioned above are included and possible outcomes and achievement of Performance indicators are also discussed.Keywords

In recent years Power Electronics and Drives has gained much importance in the Electrical Engineering domain, owing to the growing need for industrial applications, such as Motor Drives, Switched Mode Power Supplies (SMPS) and Electric Vehicle. Electric Drives and Control course is delivered for Electrical and Electronics Engineering junior year students at K.L.E Technological University, India. The course derives the knowledge from the core courses of the program like Electrical Machines, Power Electronics and Control Systems. It is challenging to facilitate the integrated learning experience to students at the junior year with conventional teaching pedagogy. Problem Based Learning (PBL) approach is known to be a fascinating, problem-centered teaching/learning process, that helps the student for a more in-depth understanding of the concepts and to strengthen the application of the knowledge gained by students in theory classes. This paper presents the experience of faculty team adopting a PBL in delivering Electric Drives and Control course for junior year level at K.L.E Technological University. An openended problem in Electric drives and Control laboratory was floated as a PBL activity to integrate the learnt concepts of three courses (Electrical Machines, Power Electronics and Control Systems). Through this approach we are able to increase learning outcome of a student such as applying fundamental knowledge of electrical science, theoretical and practical understanding of a subject, use of modern engineering tool to solve complex problem and to validate the simulation and practical results.Keywords
