The workshop covered active learning techniques such as Think-Pair-Share, Peer Instruction, Flipped classrooms, Active learning with ICT. Objective of the Workshop Engineering Education has evolved over the last two decades and has become more student-centric. It has transformed role of ‘teacher’ to ‘facilitator’ with the help of effective teaching-learning practices. The research-based and learner-centered pedagogy for effectively integrating ICT in engineering education plays vital role in this transformation. The effective teaching-learning practices facilitate active engagement of students in the learning process. Such “active learning” strategies require students to go beyond listening, writing notes, executing prescribed procedures. Additionally, the active learning techniques are found to be consistent with Outcome-Based Education (OBE).The primary objectives of this workshop are to introduce engineering faculty to the active learning techniques and to assist them in implementing these practices into their classrooms.
