The product design studio is an innovative thinking of the team. Energy and passion drives

pushed the envelope to create cutting edge designs with the aim of approaching clients across

several industries. It’s young team’s persistent attempt to create innovative design solutions

that work for clients and helps them succeed.

Product design Studio aim to be a force to reckon with on the global platform and showcase

work that acts as a true catalyst in the success of future clients and the concept follow a simple

process of 3 steps- Analyze, Create, Develop. During Analysis we get a good understanding of

our end users, target market and competitors. Which helps us in understanding what to achieve

at the end before beginning. Based on that analysis we start to ideate and brainstorm small ideas

which eventually are converted to complete concepts. In the development phase we take the

concepts and bring them to life in the world of 3D.

1. Plickers:

Plickers is a powerfully simple tool that lets teachers collect real-time formative

assessment data without the need for student devices. Plickers lets us poll our class

for free, without the need for student devices. Just give each student a card (a “paper

clicker”), and use your smart phone to scan them to do instant checks-for-

understanding, exit tickets, and impromptu polls. Best of all, your data is

automatically saved, student-by-student, at plickers.com.

Plickers helps to check students understanding and gives quick feedback. Engages

all students in critical thinking. Gives chance to all students in participation and helps

to engage in learning without feeling self-conscious.

Some of the class quizzes are as shown below

2. Flipped learning:

Flipped learning is a pedagogical approach in which the conventional notion

of classroom-based learning is inverted, so that students are introduced to the

learning material before class, with classroom time then being used to deepen

understanding through discussion with peers and problem-solving activities.

How does the flipped classroom work?

During class, teachers lecture and lead activities, then at home students do further

enrichment and reinforcement activities. A flipped classroom turns that model on

its head. Outside of class, students watch videos and other multimedia materials that

explain concepts much as a teacher does during a lecture.

What Are The Benefits Of The Flipped Classroom?

Students can consume lecture materials at their own pace. In traditional lectures,

students are bound to the pace that the instructor sets for the course the teacher is

present while students apply new knowledge. Results from flipped classrooms show

promise.

OBE PRACTICES

An OBE curriculum gives a clear picture of what is important for students to be able to do, then organizing the curriculum, instruction and assessment to make sure the learning ultimately happens.

OBE process comprises of following activities-

• Defining Curriculum Objectives and Course Outcomes

• Designing Assessment Tasks

• Selecting Teaching and Learning Activities

• Reviewing your Program-Specific Outcomes

• Writing Course Outcomes

• Choosing an Appropriate Outcome-based Assessment Tool and Method

NBA (National Board of Accreditation) have defined 12 Program Outcomes according to Washington Accord which all graduating students should acquire. Apart from those 12 outcomes department has designed 3 Program Specific Outcomes which covers program related outcomes. The department follows Continuous Internal Evaluation (CIE) to make sure Students will be able to achieve POs and PSOs. To enable students to achieve POs and PSOs different evaluation tools are used such as Internal Assessment (IA) tests, Assignment, Quizzes, Project Demonstration, Seminar and Workshops. Course Outcomes are defined for each courses under program, assignments, quizzes, seminars and projects.

Course Outcomes (COs):

Course Outcomes are the set of goals specified for a course to be achieved by students at the end of completing course. Blooms’ Taxonomy and action verbs are used to frame Course Outcomes. It is designed to meet students’ requirement towards achieving POs and PSOs. COs are framed in such a way that students will be able to understand and implement the concepts taught in a particular course. They are also designed to contribute in achieving POs and PSOs. To achieve this they are mapped with POs and PSOs based on their correlation into HIGH, MODERATE and LOW levels. COs are also framed for assignment, quiz, seminar and workshop.

CO mapping with POs and PSOs:

Once COs are framed for each courses and other assessment tools later they are mapped with POs and PSOs based on their correlation. They are mapped in such a way that graduating students should be able to achieve all POs and PSOs and in terns PEOs and Program and Institutional Vision and Missions.

Attainment of POs and PSOs: This is one of the important process of finding to what extend

students are able to achieve POs and PSOs.

To calculate attainment two major assessment processes/tools are followed- Direct Assessment and

Indirect Assessment.

Direct Assessment (DA) includes IA and University Tests, quiz/assignment, project and seminars

whereas Indirect Assessment includes- Course Exit Survey, Program Exit Survey, Employer Survey

and Alumni Survey.

The Direct Assessment is calculated as –

DA= 0.40*Continuous Internal Evaluation (CIE) + 0.60* Semester End Examination (SEE)

Final Direct Attainment= 0.90*DA+0.10*Course Exit Survey Attainment

The final attainment includes 80% of DA and 20% of Indirect Assessment.

Target level is set for CO attainment as-

Level Description

Level 1 For 50% of the students scoring more than 60%

Level 2 For 60% of the students scoring more than 60%

Level 3 For 70% of the students scoring more than 60%

All attainments are calculated in terms of levels.

NBA Module under DHI software is atomized to get attainment automatically for the accreditation

process. It provides a dashboard to design assessment, lesson plan, CO-PO and CO-PSO mapping,

attendance IA question papers. It also provides option to enter marks for theory course, Lab and

projects/seminars. The software provides rubrics for seminar and project evaluation and it has the

option to upload quizzer, assignment mapped to COs. Once all evaluation marks are entered Direct

Attainment will be calculated.
