2. What is Engineering? - Application of knowledge gained from basic sciences for productive venture

3. - Teaching in engineering therefore involves the impartation of knowledge from applied sciences. - It is systematically different from teaching the basic sciences

4. Some challenges of teaching in Engineering The human induced challenges Challenges due to the classroom environment

5. The human induced challenges (i) Ages of undergraduate students (ii) Emotional stability (iii) Level of intelligence

6. The challenges due to classroom environment Pedagogy The “disconnect between theory and skill development”

7. Overcoming some of the identified challenges Engaging the students in problem based learning. The focus of which should not be only geared towards theoretical know-how but also to improve their mental aptitude towards engineering practice in a real world.

8. Regular industrial visits that will enhance the understanding of some of the basic principles taught in the classroom Industry based or application specific lesson/training.

9. Striking a balance between theory and practice through rigorous laboratory assignments.
