E-Learning in Engineering Education

E-Learning in Engineering Education

1. E-Learning

   • involves use of ICT
   • Classroom teaching is assisted by presentations
   • ICT equipment like visualizers, or digital can save time
   • E-learning can further augment engineering education
   • online lectures

2. Benefit of Current Practice of ICT

   • students’ learning activities in various disciplines
   • share their teaching expertise and learning resources globally
   • enhance the quality of engineering education
   • enhance the quality of engineering education
   • can facilitate the best aspects of assessment through web-based tests for practice and self-assessment, assessment of group work.
   • promoted the acquisition of knowledge and developed skills and attitudes
   • helping students to improve their individual performance.
   • .performance of students in end-term examination are amply improved

3. Case Study

   • Based on the case study :
     • Engineering curriculum comprises of four components
     • experiments are conducted in the laboratory
     • The theory courses are taught traditional in the classrooms
     • Students prepare seminar paper under the guidance of teachers and collaborate in groups
     • Students’ performance is assessed separately on the basis of score obtained by them in written and practical tests.
   • Methodology, Two Survey Were resigned by elimination, classification and by inclusion of new factors
     • first survey : to gather information from faculty members about the existing use of basic ICT tools in engineering classrooms and laboratories
     • The second : to gather information about the use of web based training tools currently used by the faculty members.

4. Discussion

   • ICT and e-learning can be employed to improve efficiency of engineering education
   • Implementation of e-learning particularly in developing countries faces diverse challenges which are multidimensional and heterogeneous
     • Group in 7 categories
   • developing e-learning structures for engineering education might pose unique challenges
