The Department of Mechanical Engineering utilizes the Learning Management System – Linways AMS to oversee all academic activities. The course structure incorporates innovate initiatives are embedded within the curriculum to enhance the quality of learning. The use of innovative methods in teaching and learning has the potential not only to improve education but achieve student. Development. Innovative practices are introduced in teaching and learning to stimulate students curiosity across various domains, encourage them to question assumptions, a All these innovative methods adopted in teaching and learning, in the long term, help students build team spirit, uphold moral principles, take on social responsibilities, share information, and Both qualitative and quantitative data demonstrate the effectiveness of innovative techniques. The qualitative component enhances social conduct and comprehension. It also helps alter encouraged and the quantitative component enhances academic success. The Department of Mechanical Engineering faculty members have implemented various innovative and best practices
Use of Instructional Methods and Pedagogical Initiatives
Step 1: The course allocation is done about a month before the commencement of semester. The faculty members are asked for their choice of course by the time table coordinator. PAC assigned the courses to the faculty members based on their choice and expertise.
Step 2: The faculty members are asked to prepare a detailed course plan for the courses.
Step 3: Course handouts and Course materials are prepared following the lesson plan and course outcomes.
Step 4: Faculty members use various pedagogical methods for effective Teaching-Learning process. The pedagogical methods used by the faculty members are enlisted in the following table:

Online Lecture and Assessment
In an online lecture, the educator communicates course content (using a whiteboard, PowerPoint presentation, or similar tools) to students in a virtual setting instead of an auditorium. Online assessment is the process of evaluating students’ learning progress and accomplishments using digital tools and technologies. Numerous formats are possible, including tests, assignments, surveys, and quizzes.
Prepared 3D & Cut-Sectional Model
The development of imagination is a crucial step in the learning process. 3D models and their demonstrations make it easier to understand and visualize objects, which help enhance thinking capacity and capability when drawing views of objects. In a class review, students suggested that interaction with such a method led to a better understanding of engineering drawing, particularly in orthographic projections and isometric views.
The objective of these activities is to expand technical understanding by actively engaging students in real world and personally meaningful projects. Project-Based Learning (PBL) starts with a problem and requires students to analyse and apply learned information and theories to solve it. Students work in groups to manage and complete assigned tasks. Teachers and industry experts provide guidance to execute projects. The Department of Mechanical Engineering conducts these activities regularly. Students further explore their work for their projects and are encouraged to participate.
Hands-On Diagrams (Sketch) – Tutorial-Based Class
This method involves hands-on practice sessions in which students draw sketches related to various engineering subjects, such as Engineering Graphics and Kinematics of Mechanisms. In these sessions, drawing neat sketches of velocity, acceleration, and cam profiles is essential for understanding the working principles of specific mechanisms and concepts. Faculty members from the Department of Mechanical Engineering regularly explain how to create schematic diagrams and illustrate their functionality.
On-the-Job Teaching
This innovative teaching method involves using actual tools, equipment, and materials to provide a better understanding and real-world experience. It aids in imparting lifelong learning to students. Faculty members use this approach to demonstrate assembly and operation, particularly in subjects such as
Engineering Metrology and IC Engines.
Furthermore, students perform minor adjustments or routine maintenance on their own. To complete project designs and create models, they also utilize manufacturing and welding resources in practical applications.
Hands-on training Workshops `
The Department of Mechanical Engineering organizes workshops on DESIGN TO REALITY CAD + CAM to bridge the gap between industry and academia. The objective of such seminars and workshops is to provide hands-on exposure to students. These workshops emphasize these fields and help bridge the curriculum gap.
Content beyond Syllabus
The faculty members in the Department of Mechanical Engineering believe that going above and beyond the prescribed curriculum helps students learn more, increases their enthusiasm for the topic, and improves their knowledge of advanced modern tool usage for project work, analysis, and data interpretation These practices
result in enhanced teaching and learning as well as improved attendance.
Industry /Academia Expert Lectures /Alumni Lecture (Innovative tool for updating knowledge)
The goal is to examine current technology, industry expectations, and progress through lectures and discussions with representatives from academia, industry, and alumni. The ability to connect theoretical knowledge with practical
applications of technological advancements benefits students by expanding their understanding and incorporating valuable insights from real-world experience. Students receive information on the latest technological advancements, industry demands, and opportunities for higher education, among other relevant topics.
NPTEL (National Programme on Technology Enhanced Learning)
Technology-Enhanced Learning is a learning platform for higher education. The National Programme on
Technology Enhanced Learning (NPTEL) is one of the major initiatives in this domain. By completing these courses, faculty members of the department acquire new knowledge and enhance their skills, which in turn improve their teaching effectiveness. Additionally, teachers encourage students to enroll in such programs to gain new knowledge and improve their learning abilities in their respective disciplines.
Peer learning
Peer learning is an educational practice in which students interact with their peers to achieve academic goals. Outstanding students mentor slow learners to enhance their understanding of the subject. Courses. are identified based on students’ performance assessments, and difficult topics are discussed during extra class hours to reinforce learning.
Google Classroom
The use of Google Classroom integrates students into the digital learning revolution. It provides access to a question bank, study guides, and assignments at their convenience. The student(s) who are all absent, can independently access classroom resources from home, ensuring that they do not fall behind in their studies.
Smart Class Room (Digital System)
A smart classroom is a digital learning environment that enhances the teaching process by displaying instructional content on a screen rather than a blackboard.
This method improves lecture quality and creates an engaging classroom atmosphere. Smart classrooms
aim to keep students actively involved in learning by incorporating virtual and audio-based teaching tools in addition to traditional textbooks.
Assessment and Evaluation
Conventional Methods:
· Continuous Internal Assessment (CIA) tests
· Class tests
· Tutorials
· Assignments
