Learning Improvement for student is a Massive challenge for Every Engineering Institution. Now a days employers are demanding engineering graduates with skills. So, identifying required improvements of learning skill-gaps, barriers of utilizing students supporting facilities are the huge challenges based on attainment of Graduate Attributes outlined by Washington accord. This work aims to identify student requirements to achieve graduate attributes. This study focuses on assessing the extent to which students perceive that opportunity is available for grooming their learning enhancement and the extent of its usage. Research instruments were developed (separately for faculty and students) to collect data. Questionnaire Based Data collection was used in this work. AHP to multiple criteria decision making for prioritizing students requirements. From this proposed method, the necessary improvements are identified to achieve the Graduate Attributes in classroom at an engineering institution. Using Saatty Scale integrating AHP with QFD Can help to prioritize Process Improvements. This works helps to suggest more key development aspects to enhance the quality of learning and increasing Productivity in an engineering education institution.

Abstract


Learning Improvement for student is a Massive challenge for Every Engineering Institution. Now a days employers are demanding engineering graduates with skills. So, identifying required improvements of learning skill-gaps, barriers of utilizing students supporting facilities are the huge challenges based on attainment of Graduate Attributes outlined by Washington accord. This work aims to identify student requirements to achieve graduate attributes. This study focuses on assessing the extent to which students perceive that opportunity is available for grooming their learning enhancement and the extent of its usage. Research instruments were developed (separately for faculty and students) to collect data. Questionnaire Based Data collection was used in this work. AHP to multiple criteria decision making for prioritizing students requirements. From this proposed method, the necessary improvements are identified to achieve the Graduate Attributes in classroom at an engineering institution. Using Saatty Scale integrating AHP with QFD Can help to prioritize Process Improvements. This works helps to suggest more key development aspects to enhance the quality of learning and increasing Productivity in an engineering education institution.
