Innovative Teaching

Innovations by the Faculty in Teaching and Learning 

The teaching and learning process in the department integrates both traditional methods and innovative, student-centric techniques. While the traditional ‘chalk and talk’ approach remains foundational, its limited scope in engaging students practically has led to the adoption of more interactive and modern pedagogical strategies.

To enhance learning outcomes and foster deeper understanding, faculty members incorporate various multimedia tools such as laptops, LCD projectors, LAN-connected smart classrooms, demonstrative models, and subject-related videos. These tools are effectively used to illustrate complex concepts and stimulate student interest in the course material.

Regular expert lectures and seminars are also organized, featuring distinguished speakers from industry, academia, and our alumni network. These sessions expose students to current trends, real-world applications, and emerging technologies.

In addition to multimedia integration, faculty adopt several innovative teaching methods, including:

• Interactive and problem-based learning

• Use of simulation software and virtual labs

• Group discussions and collaborative projects

• Flipped classroom approach

• Continuous formative assessments and feedback mechanisms

• Case studies and real-time industry scenarios

These methods ensure inclusivity and active participation from all levels of learners, ultimately strengthening the academic environment and preparing students for real-world challenges.

Computer-assisted learning 

 ICT usages are abundantly practiced for the teaching-learning processes.

Objectives:

·               To provide direct access to quality instructional resources through computers connected in LAN and Internet.

·               Motivate the students do electronic presentations (PPT)

·               Assess the students through online quiz tests for better learning

Facilities Created:

·               Projectors are consistently used in the class-room lecture delivery.

·               Internet facility is provided to students for deeper inquiry to subjects.

Outcome:

·               The students and faculty are engaged in effective teaching - learning process.

Brainstorming 

Objective:

·                  To enhance the understanding levels of the subject.

Methodology:

Brainstorming sessions are conducted by posing questions during the introduction of a topic, so as to encourage the students to generate ideas to promote thinking skills and to come up with creative solutions.

Outcome:

·                  Understand, Analyze and Interpretation of the topic chosen for the brainstorming session

Beyond the Syllabus 

Objective:

·          Address the content to bridge the curriculum gap

Methodology:

         The students are advised to refer journals on recent technologies which enable the student to involve in innovative project ideas.

Outcome:

·          Student will explore the recent trends, advancement and societal relevance.

Flipped Classroom / Student Centric Learning 

Objective:

·        Allow for self-paced learning

Methodology:

         An instructional strategy and a type of blended learning that reverses the traditional learning environment by delivering instructional content, often online, outside of the classroom.

Outcome:

·          Student will achieve higher learning outcomes compared to traditional method.

Animations and videos 

Objective:

·               Better understanding the concept

Methodology:

Faculties use animation to demonstrate the working of models for better comprehension and analysis of ideas. This helps to enhance the problem-solving techniques and to learn a specific topic in depth.

Outcome

·               Efficient way of conveying information.

·               Use of animation in teaching helps learners understand and remember information.
