Dean Industry Relations at Nutan College of Engineering & Research - Put, Maharashtra, India
At NCER the method of learning means replacing chalk-and-talk pedagogy of the past with inquiry, problem-based and project-based learning by ensuring students spend a significant time learning things at the industry location. These methods recognize that lectures on complex, abstract subjects are difficult to comprehend, and that hands-on, minds-on learning by experience not only makes it easier to absorb complex material, it also makes it easier to remember.Outside class, experiential learning takes the form of clubs, activities and competitions for fun, converting cars from gas to electric power, or hackathons that see students compete to solve complex technical and social problems.
