Teaching Pedagogy
Mechanical Engineering education is designed to provide students with a strong foundation in fundamental concepts, hands-on experience, and industry exposure. The pedagogy incorporates various teaching methodologies to ensure effective learning:
- Lecture-Based Learning
- Conceptual learning through interactive lectures covering thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, machine design, manufacturing processes, etc.
- Multimedia tools, real-world case studies, and problem-solving sessions to enhance understanding.
- Laboratory and Experimental Learning
- Practical exposure through labs for material testing, fluid mechanics, heat transfer, dynamics, and CNC machining.
- Experiments that reinforce theoretical concepts and develop hands-on skills.
- Project-Based and Problem-Based Learning (PBL)
- Encouraging students to work on real-world engineering problems through individual and group projects.
- Design and development of mechanical systems to enhance problem-solving skills.
- Industry-Integrated Learning
- Industrial visits, guest lectures, and live projects in collaboration with industries.
