Abstract
Experimental Learning is an Important learning approach in which students learn by doing it. This research analysed effective learning approach for success of graduates in engineering education. For this experiment 168 students of computer science and engineering from college A and B are considered, where college A adopted Experimental Learning and college B adopted Traditional learning approach. The result is significantly difference in success rate of college A than college B. The course delivery in college A has done by project-based learning which concept of course has been implemented by students by doing projects, solving problems, mini projects for real world problems to find solutions and completing course by doing it practically with involvement of latest technologies. This Experience develops problem solving, creative thinking, leadership qualities, teamwork and ready for industry. Students success is measured with semester end exam (SEE) scores and Placements. This shows college A graduates are successes then college B and also a positive change in individual growth and Organizational. A conclusion is done that Experimental Learning Improve Students� performance and can be implemented in other disciplines.
