Applications of e-Learning in Engineering Education

Applications of e-Learning in Engineering Education

1. Case Study

   • comprises of four components
     • theory courses
     • practically courses
     • seminar on contemporary topic
     • project work
   • methodolgy
     • different stages and pre-test by 12 eminent ICT professionals
     • educationist who possessed well-versed knowledge of recent development in technology
     • survey questionare used a likert scale
   • use online learning mode
   • social media connection with students

2. Discussions

   • to improve efficiency of engineering education
   • developing e-Learning structures for engineering education might pose unique challenge
   • implementation of e-Learning particularly in developing countries faces diverse challenges

3. e-Learning in Engineering Education

   • use for delivery of classroom lectures
     • for better understanding lessons
   • demonstration
     • animations and visualizations
     • ICT equipments
     • cover entire class in one go and save time
   • conduct of laboratory experiments
     • simulation software
     • engineering design
     • evaluation tools
     • mind mapping tools
   • course and class management
     • use of e-resources
     • online courses
     • blended learning
     • lecture management
     • to deliver short online lectures, simulations
     • communications and collaboration tools

4. Current Practises of ICT and e-Learning in Engineering Education

   • make it significantly different in other diciplines
     • have permitted representation of complex structures and objects
   • have created own virtual and remote laboratories
     • to support long life learning
     • autnomous students' learning activities in various disciplines
   • creation of web permits educational institutions
     • to share their teaching expertise and learning resources globally
   • developing learning object for engineering student
     • used web based course management system
     • performed student evaluation of problem-based learning (PBL) implementation
     • potetial tool for guiding the design and improvement of courses
     • helping students to improve their individual perfomances
     • easy to use and helped them improve their skills and understanding
