Under this initiative of the university, the departments have adopted various teaching pedagogies such as Agile Teaching learning, Project-Based Learning, Flipped Classroom learning, and Simulation based learning etc.
Faculty members of the department have adopted these pedagogical techniques in content delivery.
In the Department Agile classrooms are being used to promote interaction via group discussions, brainstorming sessions with emphasis on collaboration, communication, self-organization and social skills.
The number of subjects taught has also increased from 1 in AY 2020-21 to approx. 10 subjects in AY 22-23. The PBL rubrics have been carefully crafted with inputs from different faculty of the department and are under process of copyright. It is proposed to evaluate such courses in five stages of project development: Ideation, Analysis, Design, Development and Testing & Integration.
The initiative to incorporate Agile Teaching Pedagogy was taken by Dr. Hanu Bhardwaj & Dr. Jyoti Pruthi, Professors of the Computer Science Department.
They have adopted and incorporated this pedagogy in regular classroom teaching and converted traditional classrooms into Agile Classrooms (inspired by Agile Offices in industry), for students of the 2018-22 Batch of the CSE specialization program, under the guidance of our knowledge partner Xebia, Xebia is a pioneering Software Engineering and IT consultancy company.
Although 1st Semester of B.Tech CSE Specialization program was as per the traditional teaching classroom setup, the agile classroom approach was adopted from 2nd Semester onwards.
In this Agile Classroom setup,
The agile classrooms are a valuable resource for the university and its faculty members, as well as for preparing students to cope with the ever-evolving demands of the industry. The pedagogy and the boards can be reproduced or revised in future as it's important to keep up with industry trends and advancements to ensure that the agile classrooms remain relevant and useful.
In this pedagogy, students are introduced to the learning material and are asked to prepare the topics and apply and reinforce them. They are asked to give presentations to their peers which also allows teachers to spend more time facilitating and supporting student learning, rather than lecturing and delivering.
Some faculty have adopted this pedagogy in their subject where the students are provided with the learning material and are asked to present their learning among peers. Methods used for Flipped Learning are as follows:
Simulation-based techniques provide a dynamic and engaging way to teach and learn. These techniques allow students to apply theoretical knowledge in practical situations and to develop important skills that will prepare them for the real world. Some examples of simulation-based techniques are being adopted by Department of Computer science & Technology
Virtual simulations allow students to practice skills or situations in a digital environment. Students can use various programming virtual simulators available freely. In such cases students even perform small experiments using mobile phones also.
This was very much helpful during the covid period because of the unavailability of computers at home for some students.
The URL https://pythontutor.com/java.html was given to the students for visualizing code executions, to observe and understand the concepts.
Simulated experiments involve using virtual or physical simulations to conduct experiments. This technique can be used to teach scientific concepts, such as physics or chemistry.
MRU is associated with the Virtual Labs, IIT Delhi. Thus, Students of MRU including CST students avail the facility of Virtual Lab experiments available on vlab.co.in . on various engineering subjects as well as science subjects.
The department is also associated with the Quick Heal Academy for Cybersecurity, the simulation experiments available on Virtual labs of the Quick Heal also helps students learn cybersecurity skills with hands-on practice.
Simulation tools are available for the practice lab exercise. CISCO packet tracer for network simulation labs is being used by the students to understand the concept of computer networking, IP address, routing etc.
The URL https://www.uttyler.edu/files/cosc3355/animations/ is one of the useful links for understanding the working of Operating System Algorithms in very simple manner. Various algorithms such as memory management, process management and dead lock etc. are explained in the website through animations. This is also being used by the faculty to demonstrate the concepts of Operating System to the students.
Case studies involve analyzing and solving real-world scenarios or problems. Students are presented with a case study and are asked to identify the problem, analyze the situation, and propose a solution. Green Computing is being taught as a soft course in B Tech CSE 5th Sem with coverage of case studies and assignments being covered in the Lab sessions.
The faculty member discusses a case study on a current topic with the students and then asks them to answer questions based on it. In the last 2-3 weeks student teams were given a topic of their choice out of a list of topics on which they prepare and present a case study.
