Transformation of engineering education through student-centric learning

Abstract

Modernisation in higher education is one of the major objectives to meet the universal challenges and provide higher knowledge-based and sustainable development levels. It is decisive to encourage the quality of teaching and innovative pedagogy. Technological advancement has led to the development of many efficient methods for innovative pedagogies in the field of education. Engineering education is built on a new-fangled standard in which engineering is to be practiced with technical expertise as well as social responsibility. The teaching fraternity has incorporated a lot of teaching strategies for changing teacher-centric education to learner-centric education. This paper aims to present the aspects of the teaching–learning process, teaching pedagogy and curricular approaches of engineering pedagogy and study the teaching strategies followed by engineering teachers. To study the different teaching strategies followed by teachers in engineering education, an online survey on teaching strategies was conducted for the engineering teaching fraternity all over India. The survey depicts that there is a change in the teaching and learning process from teacher-centric education to learner-centric education. Almost 80%–90% of the teachers follow student-centric teaching by using different tools and strategies, which in turn results in outcome-based education. Keywords: Engineering education, learning, learner-centric, outcome-based education, pedagogy, teaching, teaching strategies.

How Do Green Human Resource Management Practices Encourage Employees to Engage in Green Behavior? Perceptions of University Students as Prospective Employees

“…Kim et al, [40] stated that SIT has gained much attention among researchers because of its potential to describe the relationship between perceived GHRM practices and EGB. For instance, employees may show a high level of organizational commitment when perceiving a positive image of green human resource management activities [85]. According to the theory, individuals aim for social principles in confidence levels by associating with respected firms to improve the firm's appearance as a successful entity and to establish the position and role of the firm.…”

Exploring Green Human Resource Adoption and Corporate Sustainability in Nigerian Manufacturing Industry

“…Candidate commitment to environmental concerns and shared values are important considerations for organizations when recruiting and selecting new employees [10]. Based on three components of green recruitment and selection identified by [11], green recruitment and selection may be defined as follows: applicants' green awareness and green principles utilized to draw applications. A candidate's green responsiveness is the most fundamental component of green RS, according to [12]; this awareness encompasses the personality characteristics that enable candidates to realize environmental goals such as green awareness as the environmental goals themselves.…”

“…From an academic perspective, the teaching-learning process aims to present pedagogical guidelines to training professionals with suitable capabilities for responding assertively to contemporary society's needs for environmentally friendly scenarios [9]. In this context, one key to success in engineering education lies in innovative instructional curricula design where traditional learning methods, alongside computer tools and digital media, deal with the basal premise surrounding which cutting edge didactical resources have been developed in order to improve the effectiveness of knowledge assimilation by students.…”
