Enhancing Communication and Critical Thinking through Group Discussion Activities

 

Objective of the Innovation:

·         To foster critical thinking, teamwork, and communication skills among students.

·         To introduce an engaging and student-centric learning approach beyond traditional lectures.

·         To help students articulate their understanding and apply theoretical knowledge in real-world contexts.

·         To provide a platform for peer-to-peer learning and collaborative knowledge sharing.

  Innovative Aspects:

·         Shift from passive to active learning: Students engage in meaningful conversations, enhancing comprehension and retention.

·         Skill development: Promotes public speaking, listening, interpersonal communication, and respectful disagreement.

·         Contextual learning: Discussions were thematically tied to technical subjects like power systems, ethics in engineering, and sustainability.

·         Faculty Role Transformation: Faculty acted as facilitators rather than just content deliverers, guiding the flow of discussion and ensuring inclusive participation.

Outcomes:

·         Improved student confidence and fluency in technical communication.

·         Enhanced critical thinking and collaborative skills.

·         Greater engagement and interest in academic topics through real-life context discussion.
Identification of student leaders and contributors for future student-led seminars or innovation cells

Online GDB

Introduction:  GDB is a debugger for C (and C++). It allows you to do things like run the program up to a certain point then stop and print out the values of certain variables at that point, or step through the program one line at a time and print out the values of each variable after executing each line. DB online is an online compiler and debugger tool for C, C++, Python, PHP, Ruby, C#, OCaml, VB, Perl, Swift, Prolog, JavaScript, Pascal, COBOL, HTML, CSS, JS. Code, Compile, Run and Debug online from anywhere in world .   Execution Plan:   The teacher explains some topics by using this debugger and given demonstration regarding how to use GDB .    Outcomes:  1. Students can get knowledge of GDB it speed up programming.   User Manual

Understanding Java: A Powerful and Versatile Programming Language

Java is one of the most widely used programming languages in the world. It has a rich history and continues to play a pivotal role in software development across various domains. Whether you're building mobile apps, developing web applications, or working on enterprise-level systems, Java offers the tools and flexibility needed to create robust and scalable software. The Origins of Java Java was first developed by Sun Microsystems in the mid-1990s and was later acquired by Oracle Corporation. The language was initially designed to have a "write once, run anywhere" capability, meaning that code written in Java can run on any platform that supports Java without the need for recompilation. This cross-platform feature is made possible by the Java Virtual Machine (JVM), which interprets Java bytecode and executes it on the host machine. Key Features of Java Platform Independence : One of Java's standout features is its platform independence. Java programs are compiled into...
