Title
Engineering a Better Tomorow by Bridging the Quality Gap in Education Through Project Based Learning Using ICT e-Yantra-Robot Enhanced Teaching in Engineering Colleges
Abstract
Itfs a known fact that engineering graduates have a strategic and long]term impact on productivity growth in industry and service sectors [8]. IITfs have always tried to improve the quality of engineering education through distance learning, NPTEL videos, online courses, workshops and by providing continuous support to teachers and students of tier II & III type institutions. This had some limitations since engineering education needs hands on training/experience for theoretical aspects. With this quality of education can be maintained and students will have a platform to think upon and showcase their capabilities. So in order to bridge the quality gap in engineering education we are in need of a platform where ICT is effectively used by premier institutes of India to develop and train teachers and students of private and public sector engineering institution through a combined methodology of Project Based Learning which is completely online. We consider this was the motivation for IIT Bombay team which has provided a perfect solution to remove the gap of quality in education with their project- e-Yantra. e-Yantra (Engineering a better tomorrow) is a project of Department of Computer Science and Engineering, IIT Bombay, sponsored by MHRD through National Mission on Education through ICT (NMEICT). Mission of e- Yantra is to Enabling Embedded systems education in engineering colleges across India in a scalable and sustainable manner.
