Criterion – VII

7. Innovations and Best Practices

7.1 Innovations introduced during this academic year which have created a positive impact

on the functioning of the institution. Give details.

Centre for Learning Development (CLD)

A Centre has been formed to give training and orientation to the faculty members using the

internal resource as well as external. Need based training programmes are offered and it is

expected to reflect the productivity amongst the faculty members.

The following are the few programmes conducted during this year.

1. Financial Decisions and Motivation for Savings and Benefits

2. Future Technology

3. Training programmes for competitive exams like TNPSC, GATE, and IBPS.

7.2 Provide the Action Taken Report (ATR) based on the plan of action decided upon at

the beginning of the year

Centre for Learning and Development:

Around 10 programmes based on the upcoming technologies and need of the hour are planned

in an academic year. These programmes are organized by the centre with the existing funds

deposited by the college initially. Participants from all the departments of our institution are

encouraged to take part in the programme. They will be provided with a certificate of

participation at the end of the programme. A separate group of members headed by the Head of

the Institution organizes the events.

Innovation Club:

Innovative ideas of students are identified by the club coordinators and the same were

implemented under the guidance of experienced faculty members. They are provided with a

chance of exhibiting the projects in various exhibitions/student project expo organized by

various exhibitors. Rewards in terms of certificates, shields and cash prizes are provided for the


best performers. Apart from these, Innovation day has been organized by our institution for

exhibiting the young talents. Project to product conversion is also supported by our I-Club.

7.3 Give two Best Practices of the institution

Best Practice: 1

1. Title of the Practice

Project-based learning

2. Goal

Project based learning is an instructional method in which students learn a range of skills

and subject matter in the process of creating their own projects. But the most important in

project-based learning is that students learn in the process of making to project. They work in

groups and bring their own experiences, abilities, learning styles and perspectives to the

project. The project is focused on student learning goals, including standards-based content and

skills such as critical thinking/problem solving, communication, collaboration, and self-

management.

3. The Context

There is growing evidence of the need to prepare engineering students for the future world in

which they will practice as professionals. Educational practices that over-emphasise theory alone

are outdated, as it is important for students to not only gain knowledge about engineering, but

also to learn how to be an engineer. Hence a transformation in teaching and learning approaches

is essential to prepare students to solve complex problems in a global world. In order to make

students as engineers, they need to have exposure to a number of projects that offer real-world

problems, along with the complexity and uncertainty of factors that influence such problems.

Students need to learn how to frame a problem, identify stakeholders and their requirements,

design and select concepts, test them, and so on.

4. The Practice

Project Based Learning (PBL) Subjects are offered for the students from III semester

onwards, introduced to enable the students to apply the course principles on specific topic from

the subject covering a unit or the entire syllabus and to carry out projects as part of the course.

Potential subjects having projects scope will be chosen by the Head of the Department. PBL


subjects are assessed through two reviews & one mid semester continuous assessment test

(CAT). All the assessments are related to the project, and follow the main stages of a design

process. The design stages followed are the four Cs: comprehend, create, critique and

communicate. For instance, the first review is the project proposal which covers an

understanding of the context, problem. The creation of design concepts, the second review is an

evaluation and selection of the most appropriate solution. Assessments need to take into account

the range of acceptable solutions, and judge them according to the most important criteria of

appropriateness to the context of the problem, how well the problem has been investigated,

understood and resolved, the clarity of the problem definition, whether the solution space has

been sufficiently explored, and how creative and innovative the solution.

5. Evidence of success

In the PBL approach, there is less emphasis on rote learning and more on understanding of

and applying engineering design principles. There is less chance of plagiarism due to the

frequent assessments by staff throughout the course, the close supervision of team-work, and

evidence gained from logbook records of individual contributions. Since the project themes and

briefs also change every semester, one cannot copy from previous or senior students. Project-

based learning helps relate theory to practical applications, enabling deep learning. Students

remember their project experiences better, and are able to identify their own strengths and areas

for personal development. Collaborative learning also takes place, as students learn from their

own team members, and from observations of other teams. The key design and professional

practice concepts are learnt over time and evolve with every opportunity for applied learning

through projects. The projects are first designed and selected based on the learning outcomes

desired at each level. The projects must allow for open-ended problem solving and application of

theory. The most important criterion is that the problem should allow for multiple solutions. A

design problem usually has many solutions, and students learn to evaluate these solutions and

select the most appropriate one for the situation. The projects should give students the freedom to

explore the context, define boundaries, research various sources and come up with a range of

alternative solutions.


6. Problems Encountered and Resources Required

The project is framed by a meaningful problem to solve or a question to answer, at the

appropriate level of challenge.

Best Practice: 2

1. Title of the Practice

One Credit Courses

2. Goal

The main intend of offering one credit courses bridge the gap between the institution and

industries. By offering these courses, students can learn more knowledge related to the

industries. It leads bright chances to get placement and develop ideas to solve the real time

problems. Attending more number of one credit courses will certainly add value to a

professional degree and also provide opportunity to sign MoUs between the institutions and

industries.


3. The Context

In this technical era, learning knowledge about a subject alone never satisfy the industrial

requirements. So the students should have adequate knowledge related to their own

professional background. As a benefit of autonomous status it is very much possible to feed

the extra knowledge to the students regarding industrial skill for their benefit.

4. The Practice

One credit courses are offered for the students from III semester onwards. The

duration of the course is usually 15 hours to 20 hours. These courses will be offered and

assessed by experts from industry on specialized topics. Students will be permitted to register

for the one credit course offered by other departments also with the approval of both Heads

of the Departments. As a beginning of the process the industries are invited to offer the

courses for the students, then the syllabus are framed by the industrial resources and the same

will be informed to the students. The list of interested students are prepared and forwarded to

the industries for the next level. The schedule of the course is finalized after the discussion

with the respective departments by the industry. There is no limit on the number of one credit

courses a student can register. The benefit of the course is not only learning the professional

skill, however the student can get exemption from elective subjects in 8th semester

(equivalent credit). Credits earned from the one credit course will not be accounted for

CGPA. The content of the course offered by the industry should be specialized and differ

from the regular subjects. At the end of the course the students are evaluated and awarded for

the course attended. The assessment of the course should be carried out by the same industry

which offers the course to the students.

5. Evidence of success

Offering one credit courses to the students are in the initial stage and it requires time to

evaluate the success. But this implementation has gained good response from the students.

6. Problems Encountered and Resources Required

Finding suitable industries to offers the course will be a problem. The courses facilities

like laboratories and other resources to be equipped.
