The implementation plan for the next 5 years includes the following sub topics:
1) Training (both technical and pedagogy)
2) Post graduation 3) Lab development 4) Research on education technology
Elaborating on the above mentioned sub topics as follows:
1) Training would like to impart training to the teachers of
Polytechnics and Degree colleges starting from a fundamental level of understanding the pros and cons of each individual trainee and identifying the strength and weaknesses of each of them and working towards enhancing the plus points and minimizing the minus points in an endeavor to improve the level and quality of education with a holistic and systems approach on the same. The training would not only emphasize on the technical contents but also on improving the pedagogical aspects of the trainee that is not only on what to teach but also on How to teach. Would also endeavor towards training on the up gradation of the existing method of organizing and sequencing of the teaching materials in the most scientific and logical manner so that the teachers can implement the same in their respective institutes after their training in order to achieve maximum impact on the students which will enhance the quality of the education as a whole. Would emphasize on training based on audio visual demonstration using models and/or graphics or imagery in order to achieve long lasting imprints on the minds of the students in understanding a difficult or complicated concept and last but not the least, would strive towards setting up a platform for technology based education and e-learning to achieve maximum penetration of technical education to the grass root level.
2) Post Graduation as regards post graduate trainees are
concerned, would like to emphasize on innovation and pioneering ideas rather than just extending on previous research papers in an aim to inculcate critical thinking amongst them, to think out of the box and come up with novel ideas that are relevant in shaping a better future for the humanity as a whole. Would also attempt to ingrain the spirit of teaching in the PG trainees who might have the potential to become an educator in the future and exposing them to the arena of e-learning in order to maximize the effect desired.
3) Lab Development have a lot of plans as regards lab
development is concerned like starting up a hydraulics lab which is nonexistent at the moment with all the latest equipments required to perform the experiments that are necessary to elucidate the basic and advanced principles of hydraulics to the trainees. To upgrade the existing lab facilities by replacing the old and obsolete equipments with the latest state of the art technology to provide the best experimenting facilities to the trainees with the desired level of accuracy. In addition to the hydraulics lab, would also strive towards setting up a lab for testing composite materials, which is absolutely necessary and is the call of the current construction practices scenario. 24.
