Current State of Engineering Education in India: Student Teacher Scenario in Online Mode

Abstract

The international expansion of abrupt face-to-face training via online media has been necessitated by the emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic. Reacting quickly and thoughtfully to prevent content-based and hand-crafted and design-based engineering from being harmed by the pandemic is imperative. We performed a case study at Amity University, Noida, Uttar Pradesh to assess the state online engineering Studies. For the 2020–21 academic year, 52 faculty members and academic department members 60 students from various departments in engineering groups worked on in the conducted research and provided feedback on their experiences with online teaching in order to help raise awareness of the difficulties they encounter. Our findings indicate numerous obstacles affecting online engineering education including issues with equipment and technological difficulties, learning and teaching challenges, anxiety and relationship issues and physical safety. To provide another example, a large percentage of students demonstrated low interest in the classroom, difficulties staying focused, and expressed mental weariness after having taken several online classes. A review of many studies revealed that online exams were linked to an increase in the teachers’ perceptions of cheating. It is critical these findings were derived from this study be shared with other instructors to support effective and selective development of online engineering teaching techniques ahead of COVID-19 and following the pandemic.
