Learning can only be effective when a student is trying to reach a well defined objective • Learner must know when & where he succeeds or fails. • The insight to knowledge base if development by proceeding from known to unknown, from the old concepts to new ones, from simple problems to complex problems (interaction of more than one principle) • The teacher’s personality has a direct & cumulative effect on the students • Divide course into unit lessons • Emphasize key ideals of each lesson • Reference Material TASK ANALYSIS knowledge component, information quantum and desired skill level in each identified need task/ lesson is investigated • Brush up background knowledge • Introduce the basics of new idea • Discuss applications of this new idea in real life problem
KNOWLEDGE : Concepts & facts, physical laws mathematical principles Skills : Analytical, Modeling, Computations fabrication & assembly, expt. al, Professional Communication (oral, written) Attitudes : Ability to plan, willingness to learn on a continuing basis, compromise under conflicting criteria, decision making, assuming responsibility, to work in a team, sensitivity to interpersonal relationship, concern for the environment.
COURSE FILE • Syllabus along with list of text books & references • Detailed course outline-detailed explanation on relation of this subject to other subjects in the programme and in general to the entire field • Lecture plan. • Topics covered (specific comments) • Problems worked out in class • OHP slides (if used) • Problem set with solutions • Assignment sheets • Class test papers, previous papers catagoriwise classification • Analysis & design oriented • Conceptual understanding • Problems (design) with multiple solutions • Historical or reference information (from journals/magzines) • Experiments: related to theory in class • Additional Reading material for students • Final comments by instructor
Science : “ A branch of knowledge of study dealing with a body of facts or truths, systematically arranged & showing the operation of general laws” Technology: “Scientific study of industrial arts. “Application of Science to Industry” “Systematic knowledge and action, usually of Industrial processes but applicable to any recurrent activity”. Engineering – Is the art of directing the great sources of power in nature for use and convenience of humans. “The application of adjective knowledge to the creation of plans, designs & means for achieving desired objectives” Technology deals with the Tools & Techniques for carrying out the plans. In science one deals” with things the way they are.” (Analysis) In Technology (or Engineering) one deal “with things the way they ought to be” (Synthesis & Design )
ENGINEERING ACTIVITIES • Basic Research • Research & Development • Engineering Projects : Design, Studies • Education • Management & Administration (Information System) • Production : Control or processes, quality controls • Marketing , Commercialization post selling services. Theses classifications have been made in terms of the kind of skills and knowledge the engineer must have to practice his/her profession. First level : Skills & Knowledge : Theoretical education, scientific & technological principles, capacity to analyze all processes &systems both mathematically & physically. Last Level : Education in possibilities of technology, development, practical applications, products. 1. Conception Engineering 2. Production Engineering.
