Lecturing: Oral presentation intended to present information about a topic of particular course Tutorial: A tutorial is a method of transferring knowledge and may be used as a part of a learning process. More interactive and specific than a book or a lecture; a tutorial seeks to teach by example and supply the information to complete a certain task. Power point Presentation: The power point presentation is a collection of individual slides that contain information on a topic Animation Video: The technique of photographing successive drawings or models to create an illusion of movement when the engineering procedure is shown as a sequence. Group Discussion: A discussion among participants who have an agreed (serious) topic Seminar : A seminar is, generally, a form of academic instruction, either at an academic institution or offered by a commercial or professional organization. It has the function of bringing together small groups for recurring meetings, focusing each time on some particular subject, in which Sri Ramakrishna Engineering College – NAAC – SSR (Self Study Report) Page 41 everyone present is requested to actively participate. Working Model: A model is an actual or proposed machine that can do on a small scale work which the machine itself does or is expected to do Chart: A chart is a graphical representation of data, in which "the data is represented by symbols, such as bars in a bar chart, lines in a line chart, or slices in a pie chart". A chart can represent tabular numeric data, functions or some kinds of qualitative structure and provides different information. Demonstration and Practice: To present by experiments, examples, or practical application Use of NPTEL videos NPTEL videos are introduced from this semester onwards. NPTEL provides E-learning through online Web and Video courses in Engineering, Science and humanities streams. The mission of NPTEL is to enhance the quality of engineering education in the country by providing free online courseware. Activity based assignments An initiative is taken to give activity based assignment to the students. So that students will be able to attain all the knowledge levels (Cognitive, Affective and Psychomotor) in the courses offered to them. Comprehension The objective of comprehension is to provide opportunity for the student to apply the knowledge acquired during the earlier semesters to real life problems which he may have to face in future as an engineer. While learning as how to solve the real life problems, student will receive guidance from the faculty and also review various courses learnt earlier. Research literature survey The students in convenient groups of not more than three members are asked to identify a domain to review the research works already carried out by collecting sufficient numbers of research works published in reputed journals. Every student team will have a guide who is the member of the faculty of the institution. The student team has to review the published papers and submit a report at the end of the semester. The report will discuss about the research problems, experiments, techniques and results presented in the journal papers. It is preferred to indicate in the report on the research gap and scope for further research in the selected domain. Sri Ramakrishna Engineering College – NAAC – SSR (Self Study Report) Page 42 Lecture by visiting faculty The department has an impressive list of visiting Faculty of experts and eminent persons from reputed academic institutions and forms all spheres of mechanical engineering industries.

Was any need assessment exercise undertaken before the development of new program(s)? If so, give the methodology: Before the development of new programme, all possible aspects of the course are extensively discussed in the staff meeting. Later discussion will be with all Heads of the departments and Principal. Opinion will also be obtained from alumni, industry experts, and renowned academicians. Based on the collective opinion, decision will be made for the starting of new programme. The proposal including infrastructure and financial requirements for the new programme was prepared and presented to the Academic Council. The recommendations of the Academic Council were submitted to the Governing Council/Management for the approval. 30. Does the department obtain feedback from a. Faculty on curriculum as well as teaching-learning-evaluation? If yes, how does the department utilize it? Yes, the department obtains feedback from faculty to improve the teaching-learning-evaluation. The process for curriculum design, evaluation and updating of the syllabi are standardized. The department has initiated the process of formally surveying the requirements of the stakeholders of its engineering programme through well designed survey instruments. The survey would be conducted once in a year. The analysis of their responses has aided substantially to take fresh look at the syllabi and fine-tune it to closely meet the requirements of the stakeholders. When the faculty specialized in a subject perceives a need for modification of the syllabi in his/her course due to his/her interaction with various stake holders, he/she is expected to put forth the details of what is being proposed for modification, to what modified form, and why is it being done. The proposals with proper and sufficient justification are deliberated in the Board of Studies before accepted for inclusion in the syllabi. The rich experience of Board members, coupled with their comprehensive knowledge of contemporary economic, technological, and social issues has been a great asset to bank on while revising the syllabi. Based on the feedback, the department prepares syllabi for various courses keeping in view the objectives of the college, interest of the stakeholders and the national /international requirements. Sri Ramakrishna Engineering College – NAAC – SSR (Self Study Report) Page 59 b. Students on staff, curriculum as well as teaching-learning-evaluation and what is the response of the department to the same? 1. Student feedback on staff is taken at the end of each semester. The feedback questionnaire is scientifically designed. Based on the responses of the students the Faculty Competence Index (FCI) is calculated. The result of the survey is discussed with the concerned faculty member by the HOD with regards to the pace of delivery of course, the use of teaching aids, punctuality, role playing, questions posed to students, clarifying student doubts, demonstrating case studies etc. The faculty with FCI<70% will be counseled by the HOD and Principal and measures will be initiated to improve the performance. 2. Feedback on Curriculum: Mid-term feed-back regarding curriculum is obtained from the students. The same is analyzed in BOS meeting and if necessary, changes are made in the syllabus. 3. Feedback on teaching learning process: Course end survey – On completion of a course Feedback is collected from the students for the course and the transactional methodologies at the end of every semester to improve the quality of curriculum and curriculum transaction. Graduate survey – A survey is conducted after the end of the programme to assess student‘s satisfaction, wherein the feedback is obtained regarding the teaching-learning process, teaching aids, laboratory facilities and other infrastructure facilities. c. Alumni and employers on the programmes and what is the response of the department to the same? Alumni Survey: Feedback from the alumni is collected by SREC Alumni Association. Board of Studies includes renowned alumni as a member. The feedback from the alumni is also collected during their visit to the campus. These feedback are consolidated by the department alumni coordinator and necessary actions are initiated. Employer Survey: Feedback from the employers is collected by the department for necessary action. Board of Studies includes leading Industrial experts as members. The curricula and syllabi are revised frequently and updated in line with current scenario based on feedback from employers. 31. List the distinguished alumni of the department (maximum 10): S.

Was any need assessment exercise undertaken before the development of new program(s)? If so, give the methodology. Before starting the programme the placement opportunities available for the students were assessed. 30. Does the department obtain feedback from a. Faculty on curriculum as well as teaching-learning-evaluation? If yes, how does the department utilize it? Yes. The department obtains feedback from the faculty on curriculum as well as teaching learning evaluation. Based on the feedback the curriculum and teaching – learning process is discussed with the subject experts and experienced faculty. The outcome of the feedback form is discussed during the department faculty meeting. If any change is found to be reasonable, the department takes necessary steps to rectify the drawbacks through the Board of Studies and academic Council. b. Students on staff, curriculum as well as teaching-learning-evaluation and what is the response of the department to the same? Yes, Department periodically collects feedback from the students on staff, curriculum, and teaching, learning evaluation. The feedback is thoroughly studied by the department and if nay drawback is found, the same is discussed with the faculty concerned. The faculty is then asked to change the method of teaching – learning process if it is found to be uncomfortable for the students. Apart from this class committee meeting is conducted once in every month where the faculty and selected student discuss on staff, curriculum and teaching learning evaluation. The report is then submitted to the department and necessary action is taken on the report. i) Feed back through performance appraisal The students‘ satisfaction of the courses handled by the teaching faculty is measured for all courses using a performance appraisal form. The effective engagement of students by teaching faculty in the teaching learning process is also measured in this form. The performance evaluation mechanism considers important four main clauses in the teaching learning process. First one is regarding the organization and planning made for course, second aspect is the content delivery aimed to measure the clarity and confidence level of the teaching faculty in presenting the concepts. The third group of questions ensures the level of interactivity required in a class. The final set concentrates on how fair is the class discipline. Each parameter shown below is evaluated with the base point of 5 and marks are awarded for each teaching faculty for a total of 100 marks on an average basis. ii) Feedback through class committee meetings. Every class has a class committee consisting of faculty members handling subjects of the respective classes, students‘ representative and a chair person who is not handling any subject for that class. It is likely the ‗Quality circle‘ (more commonly used in industries) with the overall goal of improving the teaching – Sri Ramakrishna Engineering College – NAAC – SSR (Self Study Report) Page 312 learning process. iii) The class committee for a class under a particular branch is constituted by the head of the department. iv) At least 4 student representatives with a blend of hosteller and day scholar, bright and weak students are included in the class committee. v) The chairperson of the class committee convenes the class committee meeting. vi) The principal may participate in any class committee meeting, to keep track of the efficient teaching and learning process. vii) Two/Three meetings are held in a semester at regular intervals. During these meetings the student members representing the entire class, shall meaningfully interact and express the opinions and suggestions of the other students of the class to improve the effectiveness of the teaching learning process. viii) The chairperson is required to prepare the minutes of every meeting, submit the same to Principal through HoD within two days of the meeting and arrange to circulate among the concerned students and teachers. If there are some points in the minutes requiring action by the management, the same shall be brought to the notice of the management by the Head of the institution. c. Alumni and employers on the programmes and what is the response of the department to the same? Alumni Day is conducted every year during the first week of August. Subsequently alumni meet is conducted at Chennai during last week of January and in Bangalore during first week of October .The Valuable suggestions from alumni members are collected for enhancing the professional standards of our institution. Feedback from the employers is also collected based on which the students are trained to meet the requirements of the company. 31.
