This document discusses cultivating project-based learning and leadership in engineering education. It outlines an 8 part presentation covering: introducing project-based learning; finding a problem statement and solution; choosing the right team and technology; conducting in-depth research; prototype development; securing your idea; how to deploy leadership; and an interactive Q&A session. Project-based learning is defined as learning by developing an idea into a product. Key aspects of finding a problem/solution, choosing a team and technology, research, and prototype development are discussed. Leadership in engineering is said to require adaptability, emotional intelligence, growth mindset, creativity/innovation, and social intelligence.

3. Three Rules of Session
Don’t stop asking questions/sharing remarks in Chat Window
during the session & in QA Round with Audio & Video

4. “Most innovation involves doing
the things we do every day a
little bit better rather than
creating something completely
new and different.“

5. Project-Based
Learning?
Learning by doing along the
process of developing an Idea
to a Product!

6. Finding a Problem & Solution – 5Ws
- Standing in a long queue of McDonald
or KFC etc.
- Unable to find Hospitals with
available COVID Patient beds
- You are not able to mark attendance
digitally
- Your college doesn’t have a Digital
Library
Do you have any
Problem around you?
What are the different features
of current model?
When is the right time to bring your solution
to the Market?
When
Where
Who is using the current
Model?
Why
Where should your solution be deployed?
Why is the current model not suitable today?

7. “Talent wins games, but
teamwork and intelligence
win championships.”
- Michael Jordan

8. Choosing the Right Team & Tech Stack
?
Do your member has already one of
the technologies that you will need
for Prototype?
Are they really interested in your
Vision of Idea?
Do they have right personality with
whom you want to work with?
Do they have Soft Skills to present
your Idea to other people?
What are the basic technologies
required for your Idea?
Do you have Student/Free Access to
those required tool for your Prototype
Development?
Do you have a Case Scenario
visualized for that idea?
Explore and Google those Technologies
to learn it!

9. In-Depth Research/Literature Survey
IEEE Xplore Digital
Library
Google Scholar Springer Library Elsevier Library
Literature Survey

10. Prototype Development
Divide & Innovate
together
Learn from each other & cross-question
so that new things can be discovered
Use Collaborative Platforms like GitHub,
Trello, Microsoft Project for Project
Management
Be a Lifelong Learner & curious to solve
problems as to see them in form of
opportunities for you to innovate
