The new genre learners need tech-savvy Teaching-Learning procedure to initiate dialogue between the instructor and pupils. The course at Graduate level was envisaged based on employment statistics that indicated sizable segment of graduates opting teaching profession. The need for this course was also strongly supported by potential employer expectations in new recruits to possess better professional skills of team work and communication. The reported pedagogical initiative streams a non-conventional approach in imparting concepts on essentials of engineering education at Graduate level. The ordeal aims at providing a hands-on experience on broad principles of engineering education to Graduate students from multiple disciplines in Engineering. The course delivery involved oral and written presentations using conventional modes blended with Moodle-platform. The Course delivery and Assessment strategies were meticulously executed to foster interactive learning that lead to attainment of higher levels in Graduate attributes PO3 and PO5. The pedagogical impact of the course presented in form of statistical data strongly portrayed affirmative catalysis towards improved team work culture and communication skills.

Abstract


The new genre learners need tech-savvy Teaching-Learning procedure to initiate dialogue between the instructor and pupils. The course at Graduate level was envisaged based on employment statistics that indicated sizable segment of graduates opting teaching profession. The need for this course was also strongly supported by potential employer expectations in new recruits to possess better professional skills of team work and communication. The reported pedagogical initiative streams a non-conventional approach in imparting concepts on essentials of engineering education at Graduate level. The ordeal aims at providing a hands-on experience on broad principles of engineering education to Graduate students from multiple disciplines in Engineering. The course delivery involved oral and written presentations using conventional modes blended with Moodle-platform. The Course delivery and Assessment strategies were meticulously executed to foster interactive learning that lead to attainment of higher levels in Graduate attributes PO3 and PO5. The pedagogical impact of the course presented in form of statistical data strongly portrayed affirmative catalysis towards improved team work culture and communication skills.
