An Empirical Vision for Inspiring Students as a Core Driver to meet Global Challenges

Abstract

Students of Malnad College of Engineering, Hassan should be delighted to say "we are the creation of M.C.E". For this, we professors should put in effort to bring transformations in engineering education. It is intended to illuminate modern best practices in order to inform, enhance and promote beneficial learning skills&attributes among the undergraduate students. This motivated to adopt various modes to transform the teaching methodology in the course "Digital Principles and Applications". It is an attempt to make students realize the course with practical approach. The milestone started right from framing the syllabus with the aid of Industry experts. The methods discussed were adopted and found success. We also grabbed the ideas from faculty of Electrical and Electronics Engineering to come out with hardware projects. Students articulated their contentment about the knowledge achieved with practical approach and involvement that resulted in better understanding of the concepts.
