Transformation of Engineering Education in India Through Student Centric Learning Approach

Transformation in higher education is one of the main objectives to meet the global challenges and deliver higher sustainable and knowledge-based development levels. It is pivotal to inspire the quality of teaching and innovative pedagogy. Advancement in technology has led to growth of many effectual methods for state-of-the-art pedagogies in the field of education. Engineering education is built on a innovative standard in which engineering is to be practiced with technical expertise as well as social responsibility. The teaching community has assimilated a lot of teaching strategies for changing teacher-centric education to student-centric education. This paper targets to present the facets of the teaching–learning process, teaching pedagogies, and curricular approaches of engineering pedagogy and study the teaching strategies followed by engineering teaching fraternity. In order to study the different teaching strategies followed by engineering teachingfraternity, an online survey on teaching strategies was conducted for the engineering teaching fraternity all over India. This online survey shows that there is a shift in the teaching process from teacher-centric education to student-centric education. Nearly 85–90% of the teaching fraternity follow student-centric teaching approach by using many strategies and tools, which consecutively results in Outcome-Based Education.
