Quality Enhancement in Engineering Education(QEEE)

“Quality Enhancement in Engineering Education (QEEE)” is a committee set up by the Department of Higher Education, MHRD, Govt. of India with an objective of bringing about comprehensive reforms in Technical Education in the country through IIT Madras. Towards this, the committee rolled out a "Direct-to-Student (D2S)" program which completed its first phase between Jan-April 2014 with about 70 colleges, the second phase (August- November 2014) with about 125 colleges and the third phase (Jan- April 2015) with about 95 colleges pan India.. QEEE is Direct to Student interactive program with the teacher. Students are to attend these live classes as the lectures are being delivered by the IIT professors. These Live lectures will create an environment of classroom. KSRCT has one of the participating institutions in QEEE Pilot program from the Phase IV(August- November 2015) and it has been titled under the Category of “BEST PARTNER” from Phase 5 to Phase 9.

Quality Enhancement in Engineering Education (QEEE) program enhances the quality of Indian engineering education and bridge the quantity-quality gap. This pilot project is designed to improve the quality of education delivered to students by making available high quality pedagogical resources to all students through technology – Direct to Student Program and empowering teachers/educators.

Live Lectures

  • A part of (about 1/3rd to begin with) of the selected courses lectures would be delivered live from the IIT classroom
  • The schedule of lectures will be predetermined.
  • The lecture will be brought live to the classroom, with the local faculty playing the role of moderator.
  • The session will mimic a live session as much as possible, with opportunities for sharing and interaction between students and instructor

Tutorials

  • They are an important supplemental e-learning program built on the idea of peer learning through pre planned informal study circles.
  • The educational platform enables previously delivered as well as new academic content to be viewed and reviewed by students amongst their peer group with or without the virtual presence of the instructor.

Live Labs

  • This module looks to provide virtual hands-on experience to students on experiments undertaken remotely.
  • It creates an opportunity to work on a real lab experiment tailored to suit their syllabus and curriculum.
  • It provides students and teachers alike, a chance to access quality resources and materials.

Bridge Courses

  • Off curriculum courses aimed at providing additional skills.
  • It may be implemented as a classroom training program with live intervention by remote tutor.
  • Bridge courses can be done by students at their own time / pace and there may be proctored exams.
  • Bridge courses make students industry ready and improve employability.

Content Delivery

  • A set of topics will be identified to be delivered as live classes by IIT faculty.
  • The topic will be taken for duration of 6 hours (five hours of content delivery & one hour of tutorial) each.
  • The material for each topic will be available ahead of time and accessible by students in a digital course-package form.

Roles and responsibilities of local faculty and students

  • Local Faculty: Registration of students to the course pack, attendance in all the live class sessions, encourage students to take quiz, encourage students to upload assignment sheets, grade the uploaded assignments, use forum to post queries on topics
  • Students: Increased use of forum, takes quiz, answer assignments and upload the assignment sheets in the course pack.

So far we had organized 5 phases of QEEE sessions with 68 courses for Engineering, Science and Humanities departments which gives the Certification of Excellence from Indian Institute of Technology, Madras.
