Jigsaw is a cooperative learning method that makes students dependent on each other to achieve the team goals or to understand the concepts. Many faculties in engineering college struggle with the students to make them to understand the technical concepts. A case study was done on the course Microcontroller for B.E fourth semester Electrical Engineering students (2018-2019 Even semester).The process is tested with two different set of students Group A and Group B. The Group A students learning method is traditional classroom lecture and Jigsaw Technique is implemented in Group B. The student�s understandability on that Course outcome is evaluated based on their Continuous Assessment Test-II and their Satisfactory Index towards the Course Outcome using Canvas LMS. From the case study, Student�s satisfactory index is high when learning is based on Jigsaw technique.
