Application of E-learning in Engineering education

Application of E-learning in Engineering education

1. E-learning in engineering education

   • Softcopies of the books prescribed in the syllabi may be used while delivering the lectures
   • Animations and visualizations can be used to demonstrate the working of a component
   • ICT equipment can be interfaced to projectors in absence of visualizers
   • not been carried out in hardware laboratories due to non-availability of relevan
   • deliver short online lectures, simulations

2. Current practices of ICT and e-learning in engineering education

   • resources are digital or digitized content such as lecture notes
   • representation of complex structures and objects by computers
   • created their own virtual and remote laboratories
   • web permits educational institutions to share their teaching expertise and learning resources globally
   • more productive than conventional classroom teaching
   • capable to manipulate three-dimensional models, change the view poin

3. Case study

   • gather information from faculty members about the existing use of basic ICT tools
   • conducted in the laboratory using relevant equipment under the supervision of teachers
   • Students’ performance obtained by them in written and practical tests.

4. Discussions

   • improve efficiency of engineering education whether offered through traditional
   • learning at all levels as it has to deal
   • E-learning is still in very early stage of adoption
