About

The teaching and learning approach at CCEW is centered on promoting student-centric learning processes through the implementation of pedagogies. To achieve this goal, the college established a College Pedagogy Cell in the academic year 2018-19, which focuses on facilitating communication, discussions, debates, research, and cross-disciplinary and interdisciplinary thinking.

Cell Coordinator : Dr. Anand Bewoor [Mech. Engg.]

Activities of Pedagogy Cell

The pedagogy cell consisting of faculty members from each department is formed to investigate and disseminate the modern trends in engineering education. The members of the cell meet regularly to discuss different pedagogy practices adopted or practiced in various engineering institutes across India and abroad. Different activities conducted by the pedagogy cell increased awareness among the faculty members to enhance teaching learning processes.

The activities include –

• Sessions for faculty to motivate, adopt and follow best pedagogic practices in engineering teaching and learning
• One week FDP on ‘Application of Moodle as LMS ’
• Online FDP on ‘Examination Reforms’
• Four week online FDP on ‘New Pedagogies’

As a result of this the faculty members explored and implemented a Learning Management System(LMS) as well as suitable pedagogy for their courses. They also collected feedback from students to improve the adopted practice.

• As the result of this – Cummins College Digest of Engineering Education(CCDEE) has been started from the year 2020. The digest is serving as a platform to display the methodology and outcomes of pedagogical practices experimented by faculty members. The articles published have motivated the faculty to follow innovative practices.
• The pedagogy cell organized the National Conference on Pedagogy in Higher Education (NCPHE22) on 25 June 2022. The papers from different authors discussed different perspectives on pedagogy practices used in engineering education. Several papers presented in the conference are published in the Scopus indexed journal – Journal of Engineering Education Transformations.
