The Department of Computer Science and Engineering and Active Learning Lab has conducted a Workshop on Active Learning for Engineering on 21st February 2021. The workshop was participated by 17 faculties from different departments under the School of Engineering. The workshop is focused on how the concept of Active learning can be implemented in our regular class.
The workshop was started with the opening remarks from Dr.Bal Krishna Bal, HOD (Department of Computer Science and Engineering), he highlighted the importance of active learning in today’s learning for Engineering students and encouraged the participant faculties to use the resources provided by the Active Learning Lab and make the students learning process more effective.
The first Session of the Workshop was Conducted by Prof. Dr Manish Pokhare from department of Computer Science and Engineering, where he highlighted the Importance of Active Learning in 21st Century Learning. He has discussed how the importance of Problem based learning has increased after the Post COVID scenario.
The second session was conducted by Mr. Dhiraj Shrestha (CO-PI, ALIEN), where he discussed the resources available in the Active Learning Lab, described its setup and how the setup can be used for conducting the courses in using problem-based learning (PBL) modality. Then he described the PBL platform which has been used by 17 universities from Asia and Europe and how we can benefit from the platform. He has demonstrated the use of PBL platforms.
The final Session was conducted by Mr. Sushil Shrestha, Mr. Sameer Tamrakar and Mr. Satyendranath Lohani. In this session the participants were divided into four groups and each group was asked to create one problem fulfilling all the requirements considered by the PBL platform and upload them on PBL platform.
