Quality Enhancement in Engineering Education (QEEE) Program for Piloting QEEE in 100 Engineering Colleges September

MHRD’s QEEE Committee for 500 engineering colleges Quality Enhancement in Engineering Education for 500 colleges other than IITs and NITs – Focus initially on TEQUIP colleges (1.2 and 1.1) Direct to Student Program Teacher training Program Regulatory and Policy Reforms Pilot for 100 college from January 2013 – an application through the web-site: – website has information on the program + infrastructural requirements for participation

DIRECT TO STUDENTS Pilot Program for 100 colleges

Live Classes Tutorials Virtual Labs MOOCs Vocational augmentation Courses

Live Classes Live Class by a highly rated* IIT professor – 15 classes of a regular curriculum course Rest of the course by a local faculty – Delivered live to classrooms in 100 colleges (course-faculty to be present along with students) – Some interaction between students and faculty – Satellite + Broadband ensures high quality video/ audio Features like whiteboard, document / screen sharing, questions etc. for interaction assisted by 2-3 TAs for efficient response to questions * selected from IITM, IITB, IITK and IITD faculty based on consistent highest student rating over three consecutive years

Courses Planned for Live Classes Discussions with teachers in-process to finalize course content and schedule Course content will be planned keeping in mind acceptability to all colleges / students Semester 246 EE/EC Electromagnetic Field- Deepa Venkatesh, IITM Wireless Communication Aditya Jagannnatham, IITK CSComputational EnggComputational Architecture & Organisation - Kamkoti - IITM Operating Systems- Saurav Bansal, IITD MEEngg Thermodynamics,Heat Transfer C Balaji, IITM Thermal and Fluid Engg Kannan Iyer, IITB CivilEngineering MechanicsEngineering Fluid Mechanics-B S Murthy - IITM Geotechnical Analysis- A.

e-Tutorials Introductory Course on Computer Programming – Remote Tutor facilitates problem solving /lab for a small group (20-30 students) conducts the session at scheduled-time using features like video chat, video sync, white board, document / screen sharing 90 minute session per week – Assuming a tutor spends 6 hours a week, need about 50 tutors (senior student + industry persons) for 100 colleges

e-LABS 3 to 4 e-Labs providing a “near real” lab experience – Associated with each lab, there may be Live lectures e-book*: lab instruction consisting of – introduction to concept (text and video) – Instructions (text and video) – pre and post quiz Live remote support using e-tutorials framework by lab-tutors – DSP Programming Lab (IITM) – Heat Transfer and Thermodynamics – Analog Circuits Lab – Mass Transfer Lab A lab-tutor can handle 5 colleges simultaneously per session 10 lab-tutors for 100 colleges if tutor to handle two sessions *e-books: text and multimedia interactive content woven together along with – Features like notes, references and translate, forum, chat

Vocational Augmentation Courses Introduction to Embedded Systems using Robotics Secure, Managed, Wifi Networking – Both courses by IITM – Conducted using Live classes e-book based instruction manual Live Remote support from instructors using e-tutorial 2 students trained in person to be facilitators at each college

MOOC Three MOOC Courses – One by MIT – One by Microsoft Research Labs, Bangalore – One by IITM
