Abstract
Analysis is an important skill to be developed in engineering students. The Graduate Attribute 2 set in by National Board of Accreditation, India focuses mainly on Analysis. Analysis skills are being developed contextually to a course or field of interest across various universities. In this work effort has been made to understand the effectiveness of learning by teaching general analysis procedure to freshman engineers. Later in subsequent semesters learner can apply the knowledge gained generally on analysis to relevant field of interest. This was achieved by using active learning strategy. Paper bag activity was designed and used as an aid for effective teaching of Analysis procedure. This article describes how Analysis skills are developed in learners by bringing the learners in to the learning context using an active learning strategy and its assessment.
