Innovations in Teaching and Learning

Any teaching method, approach, technique, or tool can qualify to be termed as an innovation if it is used, or used in a new way, to produce quantifiable gain for student outcomes or the student experience, and can be implemented widely. Many of such innovative initiatives taken by faculty of the department can be observed in the Course Files, Laboratory Manuals and department’s Library.

Steps for identification and submission of innovations

The department continuously works hard to achieve the goals set towards maintaining the continuity of innovative practices in teaching and learning in accordance with the process flow chart shown.

Department Library:

Faculty of the department submit workbooks, lab manuals, power point presentation, lecture notes, models, charts and other useful documents that are beneficial for the students.

Club activities and Associations:

Mechatronics club : (https://marianmechatronics.webs.com/home)

Mechatronics is a multidisciplinary subject which can be defined as the integration of Mechanical Engineering, Electronics and Intelligent Computer control in design and manufacture of products and processes.

MAGMA :

Marian Association of Growing Mechanical Aspirants (MAGMA) is coordinated by Mr. Amjith L R and Mrs. Sonia S Raj Assistant professors in the department of Mechanical Engineering.

MOOCS :

The faculties of our department encourage and motivate students to attend Massive open online courses (MOOCS) available through NPTEL.
