An efficient method to improve practical knowledge-technical lab report writing

Abstract

The present curriculum in the engineering education is lacking the practical knowledge development in the students. Practical knowledge plays an important role, and this is the major point of view for students to get into the industrial roles. Conducting an experiment in the curriculum labs and publishing the results in general way doesn’t improve the practical knowledge. Always there will be a difference in the theoretical and practical values of an experiment due to different types of unavoidable errors. Students should be able to know the reason behind that difference which improves their practical knowledge and troubleshooting of any problem. This paper gives an efficient method called as Technical lab report writing to improve practical knowledge of a student. We, being post graduates in ECE, the technical lab report writing discussed here is all about electronics. This has been implemented in the II/II semester of B.Tech ECE (December 2018 to March 2019) and found improvement in the four qualities Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4 (Critical thinking, New ideas, Confidence levels, Communication skills) when they come to III/I semester of B.Tech ECE.
