Executive Summary

Primary goal of TEQIP is dissemination of knowledge and know-how to teachers, researchers and

students through short-courses, workshops, seminars and thematic conferences. To achieve this goal

KIT, IIT Kanpur organized several academic activities in the year 2013-2014 which included several

workshops, a Summer Internship Program, a Visiting Researcher Program and some e-learning

courses. This report provides an analysis of the activities conducted so far by KIT, IIT Kanpur and

gives a brief description of activities planned for the future.

Through all the initiatives conducted so far KIT, IITK has successfully established strong links

with its Quality Circle institutions. As a result of conducting all these activities and interacting with

participants of these events; KIT, IIT Kanpur has a better understanding of specific areas of general

weakness in these institutes. It has a better understanding of what is missing in the curriculum – both

at undergraduate and graduate levels. Inputs from faculty and students on various models of

interactions has helped us in organizing these events in more effective manner and plan for future

events in a way to help them with pedagogy, research and overall development.

All efforts from KIT, IIT Kanpur in the direction to help QC institutes improve their technical

education system experienced mixed success due to several reasons which are explained in this

report. In future we hope to see more enthusiasm in all QC institutes as we see in some of them.

Hopefully, through more interactions, a better foundation can be laid down for an improved system

where these gaps can be filled up.

To build a strong platform for interaction, sharing of resources, intellectual discussion, continued

learning, and knowledge improvement KIT, IIT Kanpur has planned several academic activities for

future which includes workshops, online courses, winter school for students, visiting researcher

program for faculty members, post-doctoral fellowships, internship programs on a bigger scale and

collaborative research initiatives.

Knowledge Incubation for TEQIP

(An IIT Kanpur and MHRD initiative)

Preamble

Technical education is the fastest growing academic discipline in India. A growing Indian economy demands more technical manpower and technology creators. This requires an environment of innovation inspired by intellectual curiosity and driven by sound knowledge. The challenge of imparting high quality technical education to the increasing numbers of aspiring engineers requires creation of a formidable pantheon of enabled teachers – with intellectual capability, rigorous training and an exploratory frame of mind. Good teachers ensure the right ambience of enquiry, rigor and excitement in the class-rooms. A healthy academic environment is the prime-mover for creation of capable graduates, who can act as drivers of the growth story. The KIT aspires to help create a vibrant environment of academics in its Quality Circle. The primary goal is to provide all the teachers (and aspiring ones) the right support to grow intellectually. It also desires to create proper teaching tools and aids for effective teaching. This requires creation of a good platform for interaction, sharing of resources, intellectual discussion, continued learning, and knowledge improvement. Such a platform should provide access to the teachers and students (potential teachers of the future) to a window of interaction with the best brains in the country and outside. Forums for dialogue on content, new developments, new teaching paradigms, new thought processes, idea incubation and academic review can act as a catalyst for overall improvement of quality of technical education. Learning should become a continuous process. How do we create such a platform?

Vision of KIT

The centre’s primary goal will be dissemination of knowledge (and know-how) to teachers, researchers and students through short-courses, workshops, seminars and thematic conferences. The centre will also engage in creating knowledge repositories through lectures for advanced courses by leading experts, compendium of projects, question bank, laboratory manuals and demonstrative experiments (for proof of concept), incorporation of new knowledge in the curriculum; open-source

2

initiatives to create proper computational aids as national student initiatives/challenges; national student technological challenges and competitions – derive, draw, drive paradigm based. The centre will bring together the best minds in science and technology in India. It will yearn to increase interaction and partnership between the Indian intellectual pool and the international pool of experts in the area. The centre will also serve to incubate new teaching and learning paradigms, and promote research in emerging areas of importance. The areas of interest that will be catered to are:

1) Mechanical sciences, 2) Chemical sciences and materials 3) Electrical engineering and computer science 4) Physical sciences.

Desired activities:

The centre will act as a nodal repository of emerging academic content, while initiating several activities for teacher training and knowledge enhancement of scholars. The following levels of activities are envisaged: Sabbatical/long-leave stay to teachers and researchers from TEQIP institutions: The

centre will also provide for a limited number of visiting scholars/researchers/teachers to spend time at IIT Kanpur, either engaging in collaborative research or pursuing individual research or content development initiative. The faculty can come for short-term (few days) or long-term visits (for a semester or more) to IIT Kanpur. The support to the students/researchers will be provided by NPIU/local TEQIP centres (through post-doctoral fellowship/assistantship/scholarship/travel grants), based on the recommendations of KIT.

Short-term visit of graduate students from TEQIP institutions: for use of research facilities and conduct of specific research activity. The students can spend time at IIT Kanpur in collaborative research, research discussions with experts, use available research facilities and interact with peers. The students can also, based on recommendations of KIT, register for specialized courses at IIT Kanpur. Students can also attend regular (specialized) courses at IIT Kanpur.

Innovative content development: The curriculum of all technical education institutions is extensive. However, the difference lies in the coverage of the stipulated material – both in terms of depth of coverage and quantity of material covered. Wide-variations exist in the delivery of the content. Uniform content of a given level of rigour, will be developed in the centre based on inputs from leading experts in the area from within and outside. Faculty from the Quality Circle can also propose desired content that should be developed and lead initiatives.

Text-books (electronic and paper format) development: The centre will encourage and

support writing of quality text-books, keeping in mind the Indian student, with possible

3

translations into other Indian languages (to aid the English-challenged students). Faculty from the Quality Circle can independently, or jointly with faculty at IITK, can also propose to write text-books/reference books/monographs. Proposals can be made to professor in-charge KIT.

Design of experiments and set-ups: Experimentation, and fear of hardware, is a bane for technical education in India. Not all experiments require costly equipment. Innovative, simple experimental set-ups will be developed with the help of leading experimentalists in IIT Kanpur. Small kits to set up simple experiments will also be developed, for the student to assemble, and conduct the experiment. The basic idea is to ensure certain minimum standardized experiments to be mandatorily introduced in all the institutions in the local circle. These experiments will be geared to the learning needs of different levels of undergraduate classes and graduate students. Faculty/students and technical staff from the Quality Circle will be encouraged to participate in this effort.

Teaching work-shops in specific cluster of courses: There are several conferences to which teachers go to, to present their research. However, there is no platform where teachers can interact with faculty at IITs, and other leading institutions in India, and work out effective methods of teaching a subject. Such workshops will expose the teachers of this specific cluster of courses to fine-tune their teaching skills, clear fundamental doubts, develop new ways of looking at the subject, and possibly develop innovative new solutions to classical questions. Here, some leading authors in the specific areas will be called to share their understanding of the courses, participate in discussions and lead to enhancement of the teacher’s knowledge of the subject. All this will percolate down to the class-room through more determined, informed and innovative delivery of the defined content. This will also make the courses more interesting for the students.

Short-courses and workshops in niche areas: Periodically, short-courses in niche areas will be conducted to bring the latest in the field of engineering research to the teachers. The short-courses will be conducted by leading international and Indian experts in the area. The course will be aimed at the teachers and PhD scholars in various technical institutions in the local circle and beyond. This will give the potential researchers an opportunity to interact with the experts, learn about the subject, and get a jump-start in research in these areas, if interested. This can also serve as a good platform to bring people together, and should spawn new research collaborations. The courses can span four days to two-weeks.

Seminars: Invited researchers and teachers will be invited to deliver seminars which will be web-cast to participating institutions. We will announce these lectures, and will encourage the faculty and students from the Quality Circle to attend the lectures and interact with the visiting experts.

Focused conferences in niche areas: In order to promote a culture of research, and encourage aspiring researchers to take up specific emerging areas of importance, focused

4

conferences in specific areas will be conducted. The idea is to keep the participation small and restricted to either persons working in the field or interested in taking up research in the area. Again, leading experts in the area will be invited to present talks at the conference. Usual talks and poster sessions will be organised to show-case the work of all the participants. The focused conferences will help bring established, renowned and aspiring researchers together. This will lead to new ideas, increased clarity of direction, effort to develop research activities in a focused way, and hence optimal usage of the resources. This will also lead to improvement of research quality.

ACTIVITIES SO FAR

Several activities have been undertaken in the past one year (August 2013 – July 2014), based on the road-map outlined above. So far the following activities have been carried out:

Pravartana – a two-day workshop on Applied Mechanics (October 2013) The workshop featured detailed research-oriented talks by experts from a wide spectrum of topics in Mechanics. Some of the topics covered were – Fluid Mechanics, Rock Mechanics, Helicopter Dynamics, Human Motion and Bio-Mechanics, Stability, plasticity, composites, damage and failure. There were also fundamental lectures on simple concepts like stress, strain, etc. The workshop was very well received and was attended by about fifty participants from our Quality Circle.

Five day workshop on Systems Engineering (December 2013) The workshop was conducted based on popular demand from the faculty and students of the institutions in our Quality Circle. The workshop was jointly attended by Faculty from our Quality Circle, and scientists from ISRO. The workshop had twenty participants.

International Workshop on Novel Combustion Concepts for Sustainable Energy Development (January 2014) The workshop had an illustrious list of international speakers. The first two days of the workshop focused on research in this area. The final day was dedicated to pedagogy. This was an excellent session, which provided a mix of industrial and academic perspectives to teaching of fluid mechanics, combustion and engine research at the undergraduate and graduate levels. There was a healthy interaction amongst the teachers from our Quality Circle and the experts. A decision was taken to pursue this activity further and even nucleate consortium research initiatives (e.g. on development of an indigenous multi-physics code). A fluidics forum will be created to closely network researchers from across institutes in our Quality Circle.

7

TEQIP workshop on Teaching Methodologies in Chemical and Material Sciences (February 2014) In a world driven by engineering innovations based on rapid developments in material and chemical sciences, it is a matter of concern that most of the non-IIT engineering colleges do not have a strong program in either material (or metallurgical) science or in chemical engineering. The two-days workshop tried to address this concern. The workshop tried to evolve a comprehensive, mandatory curriculum in material science for all engineering students; discussed evolving areas (e.g. nano-science) and possible electives in the same; a rigorous undergraduate curriculum in Chemical Engineering and Science. The workshop was attended by thirty Quality circle teachers and about ten teachers from local engineering colleges.

Workshop on Leadership Exposure (February 2014) This was a unique workshop, arranged at the behest of IIT Gandhinagar, for administrators from TEQIP institutions of Gujarat. There were fifty participants and the workshop spanned three days. The participants were exposed to the working of IIT Kanpur – academic administration, institute administrative, and student administration. The participants found it an eye-opening experience and there have been several requests to have more of these activities.

TEQIP workshop on Mechanics in Physics (June 2014) This was an excellent, comprehensive workshop of teachers of Physics from across TEQIP-sponsored institutions. It was attended by fifty teachers. The four-day workshop had rigorous sessions on various aspects of mechanics and had a detailed discussion on what should be taught as part of physics in the undergraduate curriculum of all engineering institutions. The workshop ended on a very promising note, with several close linkages established and the prospect on strong international collaboration on pedagogy.

Workshop on Dynamics and Vibrations (July 2014) This was a focused workshop and resource generation exercise, aiming to come out with a white-paper on the status of education of dynamics and vibrations, and push for changes in the curriculum of Mechanical Sciences to introduce a minimum mandatory set of courses addressing these topics, which form the cornerstone of analysis and design of mechanical systems. Discussion was held on strengthening of topics that are important, but are vanishing from the curriculum – e.g. random vibrations, nonlinear mechanics and stability, optimization. The workshop was designed to be small and had fourteen participants and eight experts. As another outcome, detailed notes on dynamics, linear and nonlinear

8

vibrations, random vibrations and stability are being prepared as important resources for teachers and students on TEQIP institutions.

Summer internship and visiting researcher program (May-July 2014) This is the first exercise of its kind in the country. IIT Kanpur has initiated a summer internship program for the undergraduate and graduate students from our Quality Circle. Twelve interns were hosted for periods ranging from four to eight weeks. The feedback of these interns was excellent, encouraging us to have more such student-based initiatives in the future. Similarly, under the “Visiting Researcher Program”, six faculty members from the Quality Circle institutions were hosted at IIT Kanpur. Again, the experience has been excellent. All expenses of the visiting faculty and students were borne by KIT. We will push for expanding the scope of such activities further, with emphasis on post-doctoral quality improvement and research programs.

IITK developed Indigenous MOOCs platform – MOOKIT Organising workshops and courses comes with its share of logistical problems. Leave and travel arrangements for the participants are also major stumbling blocks. Hence, we wanted a locally manageable interactive e-learning platform. Prof. Prabhakar and his team from CSE have created such a platform, which is currently being used to offer the first computing course, as a summer course at IIT Kanpur. A first MOOC course is planned for launch on 25th August. The course envisages an enrolment of 2000 students from across all TEQIP institutions and other interested institutions. We want to actively use this platform to launch other courses, e.g. a course on Finite Elements in Engineering and Design.

Workshop for Computer Science Teachers (July 2014)

A three day workshop was organised in July for computer science teachers. The workshop focussed on the fundamental courses in computer science, which are considered as the backbone of computer science education. Lectures and discussion sessions were truly illuminating. The entire visiting faculty (about 35 of them) felt that a serious rethink has to be done with respect to the fundamental computer science courses. Several of the attendees expressed the need for a longer-duration school on some of the fundamental courses, so that the course content and course-file, along with lecture notes can be developed. A workshop on research in computer science will be organised in future.

Pravartana 2014 – A school cum international workshop in Mechanics (July 2014)

KIT, IIT Kanpur has initiated annual Mechanics workshops under the name of Pravartana. This year’s edition, held in July 2014, was a two-part affair. The first part comprised of a three-day school on mechanics, which was attended by several graduate students and faculty from institutions in our Quality Circle and other TEQIP funded institutions. There were about seventy participants in the school, which had rigorous lectures and laboratory visits. The school was followed by a conference, where experts from across the country and several international experts delivered lectures on their research work. The sessions were arranged in such a way that the faculty and students from the TEQIP institutions could interact freely with these research leaders. There were about eighty persons attending the conference. The final day also included a session in pedagogy by Prof. John Hinch – a renowned researcher and teacher. This was a superb finale to this major academic event organised under the umbrella of KIT.

Other e-learning initiatives All the lectures during the workshops are being telecast live via the Brihaspati platform, so that any interested teacher across our Quality Circle can view the proceedings and participate in it. A MOOC platform has been developed by IIT Kanpur. Using this platform, a trial run was done in the summer of 2014, by offering a summer course for IIT Kanpur students. The experience was excellent. Now the platform is being used to host a formal course “ArchCloud” – a course on cloud computing. The course will start from 25th August. Already there are 750 registrations for the course. We expect to use the MOOC paradigm to conduct certain “necessity courses” – or courses that are fundamental, and the general quality of teaching in which is not satisfactory. Another MOOC “MOOC on MOOC” is being launched for the faculty – to teach them how to create MOOC courses. This course will start from 15th September.

CONCERNS

The goal of this initiative was to create a bigger family of institutions that work as a consortium on pedagogy, research and development. This kind of approach will help percolate good practices and knowledge to all the institutions. But, the effort has had mixed success primarily due to:

• Low qualified faculty strength: Recruitment by the institutions has to be accelerated. Quality of the recruited faculty also has to be maintained. Low faculty strength means few faculties who can be spared for participation. Area experts are often missing, hence persons from other specialization are sent for workshops and conferences.

• Reluctance: Either due to apathy, cynicism or lethargy (both systemic and individual) the excitement that we feel while organising any such high-level activity seems to be missing amongst the Quality Circle institutions. Incidentally, institutions from South and from West Bengal are significantly more receptive.

• Lack of professionalism: Some faculty have not showed up, after confirming participation

(e.g. Pant Nagar, Murthal) and the local coordinator is unaware of this. The activities of KIT should not reduce to a certificate giving one, which will then cease to be of interest to us.

• Lack of institutional vision: The institutes do not seem to have the conviction that the research environment has to improve. Lack of conviction has led to lack of vision about directions of growth based on proper man-power and infrastructure building. Institutional vision has to be clear – then only the KIT activities can be effectively aligned to the goals of the institutions.

11

FUTURE ACTIVITIES

Several activities are planned for the next eighteen months. Some of the immediate activities are:

1. Workshop on telecommunication

2. Pravartana 2015 (March 2015)

3. School on Fluid Mechanics (December 2014)

4. Experimentation in Mechanical and Material Sciences (December 2014)

5. MOOCs courses (about 4-6 courses are planned over the next one year)

6. Winter Schools for senior undergraduate and graduate students.

7. Visiting Researcher, post-doctoral fellows, internship programs on a bigger scale.

8. Collaborative research initiatives.

9. Book on nonlinear dynamics and vibrations in progress.

Mechanics in Physics June 23-27, 2014

The five day workshop, “Mechanics in Physics”, conducted at IIT Kanpur under the patronage of TEQIP, opened up an excellent opportunity in bringing together physics teachers at varying seniority levels. They were all very keen to participate in the learning-teaching process. This workshop was open to all TEQIP affiliated institutes in India The chief aim of the workshop was to motivate and empower the participants to articulate their eagerness for a contemporary Engineering Physics Curriculum. To this end several resource persons from within the IITK departments and outside were invited to participate.

Topics Discussed Day 1 (June 23): The academic program of the started with two seminars by Prof. Chakraborty and Prof. Srinivasan who explained the broad view of physics and its irreplaceable place in a rational society; and, also what the practical scenario is in the physics departments in the engineering colleges in India. After that Prof. Srinivasan introduced Newton’s laws in a lecture which was taken further by Prof. Chakraborty in two consecutive talks in which the confusing but indispensable topics on conserved quantities and pseudo-forces were covered. The day ended with Prof. Verma explaining how dimensional analysis could be made a part of curriculum in engineering physics. Day 2 (June 24): On the second day, the emphasis was again on Newtonian mechanics. Prof. Srinivasan and Prof. Verma gave a total of 2 lectures and 2 tutorials in order to discuss system of particles, oscillators and angular momentum. The last lecture of the day was a gem by Prof. Srinivasan who explained how to set exam papers and how to truly evaluate a student for what he/she may know. The emphasis was also given in making the participants realize that project-based exams can contribute immensely to learning.

66

Day 3 (June 24): Prof. Bhattachargee gave two consecutive lectures to introduce special theory of relativity as a natural extension to Newtonian mechanics and showcased what would be an ideal way of making students understand the seemingly complex subject. The lectures were followed by a set of three lectures-cum-tutorials by Prof. Sarkar. Prof. Bhattacharya and Prof. Verma who elaborated the subject more and, most importantly did an exercise on a paradox in special relativity to highlight what goes in to clarify/resolve the counter-intuitive nature of the subject. Day 4 (June 24): The day again saw Prof. Bhattacharjee giving two lectures showing how quantum mechanics can be seamlessly integrated in a course on mechanics and what is the importance of the subject. He introduced Schrödinger’s equation and Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle — a topic which was further elaborated by Prof. Srinivasan in a subsequent lecture. The lectures concluded with SG giving a tutorial on the elementary aspects of the subject and he also highlighted few topics of current interest to the researchers of the field. Later in the day Prof. Sudeep Bhattacharjee showed the participants 1st year physics lab at IITK and explained to them in details various experiments that students can do. Day 5 (June 25): The day mainly continued with discussion on quantum mechanics. Prof. Sarkar and Prof. Bhattarcharya in three lectures solved the textbook problems of particle in a box, simple harmonic oscillator and hydrogen atom. They showed how compactly these topics can be covered in a first year class. Prof. Bhattacharya complemented the lectures with yet another tutorial on the subject. Towards the end of the day, Prof. Sharma gave a talk on what the expectations of engineers are from an engineering physics coursework. The workshop ended with an apt talk by Prof. H.C. Verma who explained, using simple demos, how students can be enthused into ‘feeling’ physics and doing it in right spirit.

A BRIEF WHITE PAPER SUBMITTED TO TEQIP [A TRIBUTE AND A FEW SUGGESTIONS]

Professor K. Srinivasan[[email protected]]& Dr. Sagar Chakraborty [[email protected]]

PREAMBLE:

The workshop,“Mechanics in Physics”, conducted at IIT Kanpur under the patronage of TEQIP, opened up an excellent opportunity in bringing together physics teachers at varying seniority levels. They were all very keen to participate in the learning-teaching process. The chief aim of the workshop was to motivate and empower the participants to articulate their eagerness for a contemporary Engineering Physics Curriculum. To this end several resource persons from within the IIT-K departments and outside were invited. The workshop was conducted for five days [June 23 -27, 2014]. A response from the participants to a questionnaire was invited requesting them to suggest a model curriculum. This brief white paper is based on a perusal of these responses combined with the response gained by the author through interactions with the participants during the workshop. The workshop organizers received great praise from the workshop faculty and the participants alike for its focus, timeliness and the impeccable way in which even minutiae have been taken care of.

MAIN SUGGESTIONS

Though there are several suggestions of varying importance the following two stand out and this white paper is triggered by these.

• A sequel to this workshop in another important branch of physics of relevance to engineering and technological disciplines has been suggested by almost everyone.

• A TWO SEMESTER Physics curriculum with some of the foundational topics of relevance has been suggested by many. One striking suggestion has been a general paper in the first semester followed by a second semester paper with

79

fifty percent common and fifty percent to cater to the different engineering specializations.

A perusal of these syllabi revealed the anxiety and the enthusiasm of the participants to improve the curriculum. But a closer look at the contents showed that they need to be worked out carefully for the quality, relevance and cogency of the contents and topics suggested. One reason for this could be the constraint of time. However, given the years of experience of the participants this could have been several notches better.

TEQIP’S ROLE

TEQIP, in addition to being the Knowledge Incubation Centre, can play a positive role of being Knowledge [Acquisition/Dissemination] Facilitator, in a seamless way.

The first task could be to suggest to the affiliation granting authorities in the States and the Centre a cogent and a structured syllabus in Physics which is doable in at least TWO semesters. It may be pointed out that in many engineering colleges, only one semester of irrationally crammed syllabus is followed. The course content should be coherent, contemporary and quantitative instead of a mere collection of descriptive contents. For this TEQIP may think of forming a panel of concerned physicists. The panel could work this out based on the suggestions in the questionnaire and other similar inputs from those of the faculty members who initiated the subject discussions and also articulated their deep concerns during the workshop.

The second task that is equally important, concerns lesson contents in the different topics of the syllabus under suggestion. The starting point could be the lecture Notes for the course contents of the workshop just done. If the speakers do not find time to write and submit lecture notes, then TEQIP may think of hiring someone who can help in this task by writing preliminary notes using the recorded lectures at a workshop. As a companion to this lecture notes, a model question bank and presentation materials could be generated.

The question bank may contain questions for summative evaluation. The questions could be quizzes, short answer type, multiple choice, multiple facet, problem solving and term paper types. All of this could form the core of the internal evaluation strategy. A beginning could be made in making thought provoking quizzes which could be administered during the first five minutes of EVERY class. This could elicit the strength and weakness of the student understanding of the class taught immediately prior to the current class. Each of the question type mentioned above serves a specific task in assessing and evaluating a student in as objective a way as possible. A more detailed discussion is beyond the scope of this white paper.

This white paper is submitted with the hope that it would trigger some thoughts and a critical scrutiny of its worth for consideration in whole or in parts.

Dynamics and Vibration June 30-July 3, 2014

Dynamics and vibration are an essential part of the curriculum of engineering department like Mechanical, Aerospace, Civil, Chemical etc. These provide critical design and performance condition in many engineering operations, machine components, vehicles, buildings, bridges, tower and various other situations of engineering importance. It is taught at the undergraduate and post graduate levels in most engineering institutes. The 4 day workshop aimed at an exposure to the subject at various levels for the teaching faculty. Talks and discussions on the subject and special topics were delivered by experts from teaching institutes and industrial organization. Workshop was planned to focus on following essential topics:

• Pedagogy - A balanced exposure to the subject at the UG level and PG level with essential topics that to be covered. Discussion regarding standard books on the subject.

• Rigid body dynamics • Linear vibration • Non-linear vibration • Basics of random vibration

Pedagogical discussions were conducted in each part. The aim was to have a common course content and text and reference books across the universities and institutions of the quality circle. It was concluded that Dynamics and Linear vibrations should be mandatory for under graduate studies in Mechanical and Aerospace engineering. These were also considered to be very important for branches like Civil, Chemical and Metallurgy. Nonlinear vibration and Random Vibration should be in the courses of studies for post graduate curriculum and should be available as elective to under graduate students in the above branches. Twenty hours of talks were presented in the workshop. The talks aimed at an introduction to each of the four parts part along with some topics that need special attention during teaching of these courses. Current research work in these areas were also introduced by various experts.

OUTCOME In this workshop participants were introduced to teaching methodologies at the UG and PG levels with essential topics that should to be covered while teaching Dynamics and Vibration. They also discussed what standard books should be used for teaching the subject. Participants showed keen interest in conducting lab sessions in these workshops and suggested that TEQIP should organize workshops related to new research topics frequently. Discussions were held after the workshop to get suggestions from the participants regarding teaching and research in these areas. Some of these are:

1. Most institutes do not have properly trained faculty to teach and lead research in these areas.

It is suggested that TEQIP should conduct 4-6 week workshop/schools in targeted areas to train faculty in these areas.

2. Faculty from the quality circle should come for a full semester to IIT Kanpur and associate with – teaching/ attending advanced courses and research in association with some experts here.

3. Faculty from the quality circle should collaborate with IIT Kanpur faculty in projects. 4. Under TEQIP mandate, work shop should be conducted in some quality circle institutes with

talks from experts from IIT Kanpur and other Institutes. This would ensure larger participation from the local faculty and students.

OUTCOME

Pravartanā was a great success towards expanding the scope IIT Kanpur's engagement with TEQIP institutes in both research and pedagogy. Participants who attended Pravartanā were introduced to teaching methodologies of some broad fields of mechanics and applied mathematics. They learned new teaching concepts in these fields which can be practiced at their parent institute and expand their pedagogical goals. The symposium part of Pravartanā brought together some of the best researchers from abroad and India in fields of dynamics and continuum (fluid and solid) mechanics to present their research work. This was an excellent platform where researchers from TEQIP institutes could interact with some of the experts in these fields and also present their own work.

What is mooky?

mooky is a lightweight, modern,and mobile friendly Learning Management System that aims to supplement in-class teaching with online learning, discussions and multimedia resources.

While nothing can replace the experience of in-class learning, mooky is the next best thing that has the potential to facilitate collaborative learning for anyone, anytime, anywhere and on any platform (desktop, mobile, tablets etc).

What are the features of mooky?

• Video Lectures: Instructors/TAs/Tutors can upload video lectures for each course, which the students can access as per their convenience.

• Comments and Discussions: Each lecture is accompanied by comments and discussions where students can get their doubts clarified by the instructor or TAs or even other students. All the discussions are visible to every mooky user, thus the possibility of a student missing something important is negligible.

• Downloadable Resources: Instructors can share their vast resources on a subject on mooky. Students, as they see fit, can download the content to learn in addition to regular lectures/assignments.

• Usage Statistics: In built analytics keep track of the site usage per student, thus providing the instructors with insights into student behavior. Instructors/TAs can figure out what lectures are proving difficult to grasp for the students and which particular students have been facing issues with a certain topic.

• Projects and Assignments: Students can upload their projects and assignments on mookyitself which results in better management of a student’s participation in a course. Further, the projects are collaborative in nature and encourage students to work in teams.

• Quizzes: To understand truly how well the students are learning, instructors can set timed quizzes. In future, the quiz module can be improved to provide highly granular data on a student’s strong and weak areas, right down to the subtopics of a course.

• Scalability: mookyis designed to scale easily with an increase in the number of students. Thus from a LMS, it can easily become a MOOC platform.

128

Take the Best Teachers Anywhere

mooKIT is a downloadable version of mooky, which can be deployed on the local servers of even remotely situated educational institutes.

mooKIT can also contain pre-loaded courses from the best institutes, thus providing the students with high quality content and a learning management system in places where the internet connection is absent or intermittent.

Learn in Any Language

mooky is designed with an API layer, allowing institute to develop their own interfaces and upload content in local languages

APPENDIX – II: CALENDAR OF PLANNED ACTIVITIES

130

Primary Activities of current allocation:

• Setting up a KIT office and facility at IIT Kanpur, hiring of relevant man-power. • Conclaves on Pedagogy in broad themes; • Thematic workshops and conferences; • Specific workshops and schools; • Summer internship programs and visiting researcher program; • Repository creation; • Foray into online class paradigm – MooKIT.

Generic Outcomes:

(a) A better understanding of specific areas of general weakness – mathematics, dynamics, fluid mechanics, theory of elasticity, theoretical computer science, material science, design, experimentation, etc.

(b) A better understanding of lacunae in the curriculum – both at undergraduate and graduate levels.

(c) Good inputs on various models of interaction with students and faculty. (d) Network of international and national experts established in general areas. (e) Good network established with Quality Circle institutions (f) E-platform created for hosting information, repository material, etc. (g) Started off very healthy student internship and Visiting Researcher Programs. (h) Model curriculum discussed and suggested templates available.

Road Ahead: Should move on from objectives achieved this year.

(a) Conclaves, workshops and conferences in Electrical Engineering also to be conducted in the next year.

(b) Online courses addressing important and popular topics to be created. (c) Visiting Researcher, collaborative student guidance, internship programs to be strengthened –

model to be refined. (d) Longer duration schools on specific course. E.g. Dynamics, Continuum Mechanics,

Vibrations, Composites, Algorithms, Data Structure, Programming, Design in Chemical Sciences, etc.

(e) Repository enhancement – some work has been done, and a lot needs to be done. (f) MoU between institutions, credit transfer mechanisms, more liberal policies for joint student

guidance (IIT Council, NIT Council, State Technical Institutions, local BOG need to also opine on this issue).

(g) Manuscript writing – vernacular language books, texts in English.

131

(h) Initiate collaborative research on mega projects – Hill Technologies; Indian Multi-Physics Code development; Vehicular Engine, Combustion and Fire Technologies; Alternate Energy, etc.

** Item (h) will be a major new initiative, which will entail undertaking research and developmental activities via a consortium approach. The industry will also participate in such activities. Specifically: (1) Hill Technology Centre: To be set up in either Dwarahat, Pauri or Pant Nagar, with IIT

Kanpur, KIT Dwarahat, Pant Nagar University and GBP Insitute Pauri as the principal partners, along with (possibly) Dabur, Himalaya Products, etc for developing technologies relevant to Hill communities (construction, aquifer recharging, micro-power generation, waste-management, river and stream rejuvenation), agro-industry and bio-medicines. This will get large groups of students involved in the projects, and will give an international presence to these institutions. The centres will be independent, but housed in one of the institutions – with its own recruitment (part-time) and administrative policies. Budget allocation required: Rs. 30 crores over 5 years.

(2) Multi-Physics Initiative: As an outcome of the workshops, an expert, who is renowned internationally as a teacher and creator of a popular commercial engineering analysis code, has volunteered to help lead a national initiative to create an indigenous multi-physics code for use in engineering and scientific applications. The code will be developed in a modular manner, with participation from several of our Quality Circle institutes. This will be a unique initiative which will provide our country a significant technological edge (like the space program) if successful. Budget allocation required: Rs. 30 crores over 5 years.

Several such initiatives have been thought out, and can be evolved if the scheme finds acceptance. We believe that such activities will give increased industry-academia-student interactions and collaborations; will give a shot in the arm for research activities in the participating institutions; will give international recognition to the consortium; will lead to high-quality (and possibly seminal) publications.
