1. Activity Based Learning: - Project based learning method in which students gain knowledge and skills by performing investigation on real life problems or challenges. As a result, they gained practical knowledge in their area and gain knowledge in the usage of modern software and hardware tools. Bootcamp is another activity-based learning where students learn and do micro projects in modern tools and software’s. We organize bootcamps which focused on student learning goals and upgradation skills such as critical/problem solving, collaboration, and self-management. Additionally, they gained presentation and communication skills through the presentation they give to faculty and students.
1. Activity Based Learning
Goal
To discover practical aspects and significance of the technological concepts. It aims to encourage the students to go through the action-oriented learning processes like project-based learning.
Activity
Project Based Learning The 2021–2025 batch students during their second-year (AY:2022-2023) are given micro-projects related to recent trends in technology, apart from their regular curriculum.Topic – IoT Faculty Coordinator: Ms. Jasmine Jolly Boot Camp An overnight bootcamp on web development was organized for the for the second and third year students of the AY 2022-2023. Faculty Coordinator: Ms. Jasmine Jolly
2. Act-on Technology: - For various courses in the program, illustration of the topics through skit or acting enable the students to understand it well. One innovative method that we introduced for this is Act-on Technology. In this student are given various topics after teachers discuss it in the class, and ask them to sit in groups and present those topics to the class by means of acting. They were allowed to use various materials like charts, cards etc. to present the topic clearly.
1. Act-on Technology
Goal
For reducing the complexity in teaching and learning we present an innovative approach to teach the complex topics using skit.
Activity
Students enact skits, which illustrate the concepts of those complex topics. The 2019 – 2023 batch students during their final year courses (AY: 2022-2023) are given topics from their 8 th semester courses to demonstrate the concept through acting. Topics given from course CST 402 Distributed Computing are: Distributed Systems and Bully’s Algorithm. Topics given from course CST 476 Mobile Computing are Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol and Mobile IP.
3. Flipped Classroom: - Flipped Classroom is a pedagogical approach in which the conventional notion of classroom-based learning is inverted, students are provided with the learning material prior to face-to-face classes, and classroom time is then being used effectively to discuss and deepen conceptual understanding. This pedagogy was practiced during the courses in 2020 – 2021 academic year. The objective of this activity is to engage students in independent, life-long learning and achieve higher level thinking. The material was given as video lectures and notes. Video lectures were shared through the department YouTube channel and notes were shared in google classroom

4. Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) Enabled Teaching-Learning: - The best teaching strategy should speed up learning and comprehension without taking a lot of time. Through the use of visual aids that are always available to students, the introduction of technology into teaching and learning has significantly increased the rate at which knowledge is delivered. These increases understanding and gives students the flexibility to learn at their own pace. ICT enabled tools and resources are used to communicate, disseminate, store and manage information. It provides direct access to quality instructional resources through computers connected in LAN and Internet. The in-built LCD projectors and interactive boards in classrooms facilitate faculty members to display visually content-rich presentations using PPTs, videos and live demonstrations.
1. Information and Communicatio n Technologies (ICT) based teaching learning
Goal
To enable students to get a clear understanding and visualization of courses. Materials are delivered at a slower more step by step pace.
Activity
1) YouTube Channel The video lectures of certain topics in selected courses were prepared by the course faculty and made available to students as additional reference materials. Slow learners are advised to refer video lectures for a better understanding. Department has YouTube channel in which faculty can upload the video lectures of various courses.

5. Add-on trainings/ Hands-on workshops/online workshops-based teaching learning: - The organizations of today are witnessing and practicing a shift from generalized knowledge-base to expertise and skillfulness in their work atmosphere. Consequently, the manpower needed has to be capable and talented as per the requirements and expectations of the job-market, both in public sector as well as private sector. Our department recognizes this necessity that engineering education needs to be supplemented with courses which are specialized, skill-based and career-oriented. Keeping in tune with the changing times, we have been introducing such courses in the wider benefit of the students. The courses shape them as suitably equipped performers who can make use of the skills dexterously. The courses can be offered along with the graduation and students are awarded with certificates after completion of the add-on course.
