Traditional Black board Teaching (TBT):
The faculty use chalk and board in teaching. Students are encouraged to actively interact during the lecture hour by getting their doubts clarified.
Flipped Classroom (FC):
FLIP stands for:
- F: Flexible environment
- L: Learning Culture
- I: Intentional Content
- P: Professional Educator
A flipped classroom is an instructional and ambivalent strategy, and a type of blended learning that reverses the traditional learning environment. It moves activities, including those that may have traditionally been considered homework, into the classroom. With a flipped classroom, students watch online lectures and collaborate in discussions, while actively engaging concepts in the classroom, with guidance of the faculty.
Flipped Classroom teaching: Strengthens team-based skills, Encourages engagement and attendance and Promotes higher level classroom discussion.
Profile based Teaching-Learning (PBTL):
Broadly, all human beings are categorized as Visual, Auditory and Kinaesthetic (VAK), and combinations thereof. Each faculty in the department is profiled based on their modalities, such as Left-Right brain, VAK, Hedgehog-Fox, Self-Esteem, Leadership skills etc. With understanding of their profile, faculty can enhance their profile by mitigating their weakness. This methodology, namely profile-based teaching-learning, helps teachers to reach and connect with students of different learning modalities.
Project based Learning (PBL):
During the pre-final year and final year, students are encouraged to carry out mini projects and capstone projects under the guidance of faculty. Further, students of first year and second year are encouraged to do mini projects /hobby projects to make them comprehend the theoretical aspects taught in the classrooms. The annual project exhibition is conducted every year to showcase their projects, and to encourage students to have interactions with their juniors, peers and senior students.
Experiential Learning (EL):
Experiential Learning is an engaged learning process whereby students learn by doing and by reflecting on the experience. Experiential Learning aims at recognizing and encouraging spontaneous opportunities for learning, engagement with challenging situations, experimentation, and discovery of solutions. Some forms of experiential learning include Internships, industrial visits, out-of-classroom community service experiences/projects (AICTE activity) etc.
Collaborative Learning (CL):
The students are initiated and motivated to learn from group activities such as group discussion, in-house internships, workshops conducted in the department. The students are exposed to learn various topics and hands-on experience under different laboratories, related to program curriculum.
Activity based Learning (ABL):
Activity-based learning is rooted in the idea that students are active learners rather than passive recipients of information. If students are provided the opportunity to participate in activities and are provided with an optimum learning environment, then learning becomes more surreal(joyful) and long-lasting. Some forms of activity-based learning followed are debates, extempore activity, pick and speak session, activities conducted under in house clubs etc.
ICT supported learning (ICTL):
ICT tools such as power point presentation, Animations and various simulation tools are used to teach engineering concepts to the students. This is used to offer interactive learning experience.
