Categorize students into three categories:1. Poor (English, D-to-D, absentees, poor performance)

2. General

3. Rankers

Approach for theory (University)

1. Continuous module-wise assignments after completion of module, followed by Q&A

2. Last years University question papers solving (practice writing and answers under guidance of faculty)

3. Expected questions and answers generated by faculty – drill questions with answers

4. Final mock test

Approach for practical examination

1. Redo all experiments in a weeks time

2. Drill Q&A session by external and internal faculties

It is expected that major portion of the course work will be delivered by in-house faculty

In-house Faculty : 75%

Eminent academician: 15%

Technocrats from leading industry: 10%

Experts - one or two lectures

Notes: lectures under the category of experts will be institutionalized (planned in advanced , notified under academic calendar, having common time slots - the planning for this will be done one semester in advanced and experts identified and approved with CCM ; an action item for

TPO) and common across all institutional boundaries, this includes faculty, deans and students.

Incase, lectures by experts are not complied due to know or unknown reason/s faculty shall complete the course work

16

Page 17: Teaching Philosophy  by Hardik Gohel

Faculty : strictly as per affiliating university syllabus

Eminent academician: Selected Topics of syllabus under the specified module/s – enhanced insight and better conceptual understanding and motivation to pursue the subject

Technocrat: Selected areas (sub-set of syllabus) of advancement/developments, growth, job opportunities , foresight – this will provide exposure to industry trends and practices and beyond syllabus boundaries, that will enrich the student knowledge and motivation

Expert: Motivations, inspirations and knowledge including sharing of life experiences and opportunities

17

Page 18: Teaching Philosophy  by Hardik Gohel

Technology adoption : Methods (ICT, PPT, Whiteboard)

Philosophy - experiential learning : industry visits, virtual lab, laboratory demonstrations, technology-club, discussions with eminent academicians, technocrats.

Note: Funded Practice and experimentation Labs that work beyond institutional hours (technology-club or a pre-incubator), association with In-house consultancy projects and powered by skilling certification academies in strategic areas.

Subject length and depth, problem solving and followed by rigorous practice session (last 20% of the time after syllabus completion) that helps students (category wise based upon semester performance) to attempt and practice answering questions by writing -for examinations (University, etc.)

18

Experts (Industry [2 per course] and Academicians[2 percourse]) must contribute up to 25% in terms of teaching syllabus and going beyond.

Industry experts coming to teaching must be tapped for the purpose of : industry visits and tours [students], faculty visit and exposure, explore project and job opportunities [TPO], and consultancy and research and CoE

Academicians coming from institutes of repute : faculty will explore opportunities for examiners/evaluators/selection experts , explore joint project writing and submission, opportunities for guiding Ph.D , research paper writing, developing curricula , laboratories and centers of excellence

Universal lecture series (beyond subject boundaries)

Advanced fixation of experts and schedules
