1. Title of the Practice:

 

Teaching, Learning and Continuous Monitoring of Academic Standard

 

2. Objectives of the Practice:

 

  • An ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science and engineering.
  • An ability to identify, formulate and solve engineering problems.
  • An ability to design a system, component or process to meet desired needs within realistic constraints such as economic, environmental, social, political, ethical, and safety manufacturability and sustainability.
  • An ability to function on multi-disciplinary teams.
  • The ability to use modern engineering tools, software and equipment to analyse problems.
  • An understanding of professional and ethical responsibility.
  • Knowledge of impact of engineering solutions on the society and also on contemporary issues.
  • Recognition of the need for, and an ability to engage in self-education and life-long learning.
  • An ability to use the techniques, skills and modern engineering tools necessary to face competitive examinations and engineering practices.

 

3. The Context:

 

The college has an extremely talented faculty who are largely interested to pursue their academic endeavour in the college. The College has an Academic Council to chalk out institutional strategies for planning, upgrading and creating infrastructural facilities to meet the needs for teaching, learning and monitoring. It has stipulated the following strategies:

 

  • Adoption of student centric teaching methodology
  • Preparation of extensive course material
  • Projects are taken up by students in the final year
  • Preparation of Semester lab manuals
  • Regular feedback is taken from the students, parents and employers
  • Regular seminars by students

 

4. The Practice:

 

The institution adopts all possible steps to improve teaching, learning and monitoring academic facilities in the institution.

 

  • The quality and quantum of the lecture methods and learning strategies (lecture, discussion, group discussion, question answers, case studies, role play, illustrations, quiz, assignments and special lectures) depend upon the topics being dealt with.
  • Most of the courses and professional courses have practical sessions, projects, seminars and comprehensive viva-voce components in their curricula, besides the usual classroom interactions.
  • All departments also provide instructional materials to the students for easy understanding of the concept and subject matter.
  • Expected Results/outcomes obtained from development plan and results
  • Data collection through feedback and stakeholder meeting.
  • Estimation of resources required
  • Monthly self-appraisal by faculty members
  • Monthly departmental meetings to take stock of the activities
  • IQAC monitors the development and application of quality benchmarks for plans and policies

 

5. Evidence of Success:

 

The impact of the above practice on the students is evident in the data given below:

 

  • Enviable university results
  • Noticeable placements
  • Parents appreciation
  • Increasing admission status
  • Growing interest of students for research
  • Significant foot fall of students in the library
  • MoUs with different organizations for academics, training and placement.
  • Retention of faculty members

 

6. Problems Encountered and Resources Required:

 

  • Syllabus, being prepared by university, is not updated properly.
  • Fixing of teaching level due to heterogeneous standard of students in a class

 

7. Notes (Optional):

 

  1. Due to excellent practices in teaching and learning process, the institute attracts students not only from the state of Odisha but also from other nearby states.
