Faculty contribution on student enrichment

1. Faculty Contribution Towards
Student Enrichment
By,
JAI GANESH S
Asst. Professor – ECE - RMKCET

3. Student Enrichment Areas
• Responsibility and Accountability
– Students their own progress toward meeting those rshould be
accountable for knowing and fulfilling graduation requirements,
monitoring equirements, and knowing and observing academic policies
and procedures
• Investment & Improvement
– investing the time and resources necessary to get a good education as
well as improving their level of performance continuously
• Good Habits
– developing and practicing of good habits of discipline, courtesy, civility
and academic decorum
• Proficiency
– gaining and maintaining proficiency in the skills that are a gateway to
success in their area of interest

4. Student Enrichment Areas
• Involvement in Learning
– being extensively involved or engaged in learning, both inside and
outside the classroom
• Community
– being good citizens of the academic community, inclusive of
communicating and working well with faculty and pears
• Pro-activism and Initiative
– developing and practicing of the habit of setting, designing a plan for
achieving, and achieving goals
• Leadership
– realizing and tapping into the potential to take charge and guide
others

5. Reason for Lack of Involvement in
Learning
• Outdated learning and exam culture
– Faculties may use a modern teaching learning tools
(Presentations, Animations, Videos, Simulations, Etc)
• More Theory and Less Practice
– Faculties may use the online simulation tools to visualize the
concepts
– Websites like https://circuits.io/, https://phet.colorado.edu
• Treating all the students with equal competency levels
– Assessment should be given based on the students
competency levels.
– This will make to students to believe that their efforts will
lead them to success

7. Reason for Lack of Responsibility and
Accountability
• Lack of responsibility may cause from various
reasons ranging from simple laziness or a fear
of failure, through to a sense of feeling
overwhelmed by the scale of a problem or a
situation.
• One place to start is creating a classroom
atmosphere that is conducive to accountability
and responsible learning
– Formation of peer groups during revision periods
– Assigning responsibilities to a student and
rewarding them on success or Motivating them on
failure

8. Reasons for lack of Investment &
Improvement
• Students are not aware about the resources for
quality education. Hence they end up in
wasting time in search for quality education
– Faculties may provide a repository of education
resources for the concerned course
– Investment of time for learning can be increased by
attending the summer schools and winter schools
conducted by IIT’s and NIT’s
– Encouraging students to host educational blogs and
video channels of their interest. This makes them to
go in search for new content and update them
selves

9. Inculcating Good Habits
• Faculties may contribute in inculcating the good
habits by
– Organizing Social awareness programs Lead by
students
– NSS , NCC and YRC kind of associations and activities
– Motivating the students to help others (Seniors
taking classes to Juniors during Exam Preparations)
– Providing Outdoor educations on risk management
and emergency management

10. Inculcating engineering habits of mind

11. Enrichment on Proficiency
• The Engineering and Design industry in India wants
the graduating engineers to be industry ready. The
industry needs versatility- people with general
engineering skills and exposure to domain
knowledge. At present these needs are not
addressed.
– Students can be grouped as per their area of interest in
the third year of study
– Separate Engineering Proficiency Program Structure can
be framed to train the students to become professionals
– Students can given a problem statement of their interest
and to do project right from their third year of study

12. Relationship between Students and
faculties
• Encouraging students to share their concerns with
faculty members can give students a different 'take' on
a problem.
• Not only should students be encouraged to ask faculty
for general scholastic advice, but they also should learn
how faculty became invested in their particular areas
of expertise
• To build a good relationship with a faculty member, a
student should demonstrate that learning, rather than
arguing for a better grade,ted in their particular areas
of expertise
• both the frequency and the nature of student-faculty
interaction combined have the greatest impact,

13. Other enrichments to the students
• Assistance for local, regional and national engineering
competitions.
• Sponsorship of campus programs for professional
networking.
• Exposure to engineering professionals and peers at other
colleges.
• Recognition of student academic achievement.
• Financial assistance for chapter meetings and local,
regional or national conferences.
• Partial reimbursement for engineering students to attend
cultural events.
• Technological improvements for student chapter offices.
