The document discusses the importance of research activity in improving teaching at undergraduate institutions. It notes that according to Robert Gavin's 2000 publication "Academic Excellence: The Role of Research in the Physical Sciences at Undergraduate Institutions," research activity plays a central role in keeping faculty up to date in their fields and enhances their teaching. Maintaining an active research program helps faculty stay current on the latest developments and approaches in their disciplines, which benefits the education they provide to students.

1. As Robert Gavin noted in the
2000 publication Academic Excellence:
The Role of Research in the Physical
Sciences at Undergraduate Institutions,
“research activity plays a central role in
keeping the faculty up to date in the
field and improves their teaching.”

of that policy to increase involvement in
learning.' In classes run by effective
teachers,

15. How effectiveness is measured?
* IC: Intellectual Capital
* I&F: Infrastructure and Facilities
* PS: Pedagogic systems (the art or
science of teaching; instructional methods)
* II: Industry Interface
* P: Placements
* T: Total
Vinay Chidri, Asso. Prof. & Head,Mech. Dept. MIT, Aurangabad 15

16. institute where do top recruiters go first?
Institute which have the better placements?
Institute with the best academic environment?
Institute with the best corporate relations?
……and so on……
This ranking will be useful:
For engineering aspirants to compare among the best options available
For colleges to know where they stand & where to emphasize on
improvement
For industry in their campus recruitment decisions
For students and alumni, for whom it is a matter of pride
Vinay Chidri, Asso. Prof. & Head,Mech. Dept. MIT, Aurangabad 16

17. Placements*. Importance is also given on industrial relations, opportunity to
work on good projects and quality of faculty members.
Quality of an institute can be judge by the perception of the students who
are studying there or by opinions of Alumni. We tried to link them with this
ranking. So this ranking/survey results will be the outcome of what current
students & alumnus in engineering domain think about the institutes.
* Our secondary research shows that students put placements in
engineering colleges a way ahead than faculty - student ratio,
infrastructure, intellectual capital etc.

18. For college-entering students to decide the best option available.
For colleges to know what they need to improve and where they stand in
the pecking order.
For recruiters and human resource managers to decide the college they
would visit for campus interviews and negotiate pay packages.
For the teaching faculty to decide which colleges to aspire to teach in.
For students and alumni, for whom it is a matter of pride.
