An entrant to engineering has to undergo many fundamental courses in the first year of curriculum. Basic electrical engineering is one amongst these courses. The traditional way of teaching the course was teacher-centric and aid used for teaching was chalk and talk. Less emphasis was given for student interaction. Traditional style of teaching rarely gives students the opportunity to apply their newfound knowledge to actual situations, resulting in a serious time lag between students learning and applying new knowledge. As a result many students have trouble determining the relevance of what they are being taught, and thus lacking any obvious need to learn and fail to engage in the learning process. To provide an opportunity for collaborative experiential learning to reinforce the theoretical concepts imbibed in students we proposed a model on collaborative experiential learning which concentrates on the beginning of instruction referring to Fink's Model containing Knowledge of subject matter, Design of Course, Teacher-student interaction and Course management. In particular, the "Teacher-student interaction" is adopted which is an umbrella term that refers to all the different ways teachers interact with their students. For better interfacing, Kolb's experiential learning theory based on a four-stage learning cycle is applied. In addition to the above interaction in teaching learning process learning style of an individual is important to undergo different learning cycle. The three main types of learning styles are, auditory, visual, and kinesthetic. Whenever the task is given for an individual the above learning styles can be adopted, meanwhile if the task is for a team with different learning style of a student then we need to focus on style of learning. The three styles of learning are active learning, cooperative learning and problem based learning. The proposed model is applied to the course on Fundamentals of Electrical Engineering, Apart from the regular classroom teaching we used principles of instruction to select, plan and develop an activity based on Industry visit to enhance students learning. To realize the impact of learning happened through the industry visit pertaining to topics like actuators and/or sensors, the written examination was conducted and feedback at two intervals, before and after the industry visit was taken. Individual question wise inferential statistical analysis using paired t- test was performed and inferred that the activity improved the knowledge and exposure level of a student.Keywords

One of the common difficulties faced by an entrant of an undergraduate course studying Electrical Engineering is in understanding the fundamentals of Alternating circuits (a.c.). In order to address the identified difficulty, modern engineering tool was introduced to enhance the learning in a.c. circuits as simulation tool plays an important role within the frame of teaching and learning in education across the world. With the performance of students in continuous internal examination (CIE) being less, there was a need to improvise their understanding the concepts of a.c. circuit, hence this activity was planned and implemented. The activity was initiated with the introduction to Personal computer Simulation Program with Integrated Circuit Emphasis (PSPICE) simulation tool. Simulation tool was applied in designing structured learning experiences and it was targeted to enhance teamwork competencies and understand the fundamentals of a.c. circuits. Students were trained to simulate complete and well-formed circuits which helped their learning environment suitable for supplementing traditional method of chalk and talk instruction. The activity was concluded by a feedback survey to measure the effectiveness of learning through simulation assignment on teaching&learning process in regular curriculum. The response from the students' feedback showed that they were more satisfied with simulation assignment compared to conventional one; it helped them to understand theoretical concepts better. It also showed increased involvement in learning during the activity. The performance in CIE was compared with semester end examination (SEE), and it was found that the students' performance in SEE showed significant improvements in understanding the concepts of a.c. circuits. The work presented in this paper summarizes the effectiveness of simulation package used in enhancing teaching and learning in fundamental course of electrical engineering.Keywords

The paper presents the restructuring of course design and delivery, to attain the enhanced learning in Digital Circuits course through pedagogic practices and hands on experience in laboratory. The objective of the paper is to enhance the understanding of the course beyond the class room teaching. The traditional approach of course design, course delivery and course assessment provide less scope for better learning of courses. To address the limitations of traditional approaches, an Outcome Based Education (OBE) proposes many pedagogical practices. The paper proposes a framework to restructure the Digital Circuits course w.r.t.. to content delivery in the class, course projects and the reframing the laboratory experiments. The contents delivery is supported by expert lecture through videos, course project is aided by concept/prototype development and the lab is formulated to exercise multiple problems on a single topic. The students' attainment is measured and analyzed through examination results and feedback. The technical and professional outcomes are achieved through the proposed framework.Keywords
