A Systematic Approach to Teaching and Learning Machine Design Course

Abstract

In this modern world students are looking at new method of learning the courses and as well it is very difficult for the instructors/teachers to take attention of students to teach the theory courses. This paper brings a different method of teaching and learning methodology for the machine design course. In this, the tutorial and course project has been linked to the course to develop student's involvement, complex thinking, team management skills, and higher order thinking skills. Here the author would like to share some of the new techniques extracted from the outcome based learning and project based learning approaches to make students and teachers to involve in to the course. Student's feedback and the project did show their involvement in the course.
