Faculty development is an essential and important part of institutional effectiveness in professional education. The paper reports the findings of creating and sustaining inter disciplinary localized Professional learning Community (PLC) at our institute. Locally PLC was formed to improve teaching-learning process for various courses across engineering disciplines. The criteria for selecting the participating faculty for creating PLC was those faculty members who have received training during the workshop on Introduction to Research Methods and Research Methods in Education Technology conducted by IIT Bombay under NMEICT. The methods that have been selected for creating the PLC have sufficient evidence in education research literature. PLC of faculty members using think pair share, visualization, flipped classroom, guided presentation and peer instruction were formed across various programs. A total number of 32 faculty members were further sub grouped into six on the basis of teaching strategies and pedagogy they used to improve students' performance in the course/s. Each subgroup was generally comprised of 3 to 6 faculty members. A total of 20 courses have been taught using the above mentioned various instructional strategies. A total of 2244 students were taught from various undergraduate courses of engineering. Quantitative and qualitative analysis was carried out by every PLC faculty member to evaluate the improvement in teaching-learning process & to find the impact of instructional strategy in their courses. It is observed that in all 36 experiments carried out, students have shown a statistically significant higher performance. 91% of the PLC faculty rated that instruction strategy helped them to improve their content delivery. All the participating student and faculty gave a positive feedback towards the PLC approach and rated their experience as good to excellent. The study gives an indication of the best practices and recommendations while developing and

Project-based learning (PBL) is a modern learning methods, in which the various projects are successfully applied in different courses in the educational programs of different disciplines. The engineering programs, such as Mechanical engineering and Energy Technology Processes Control requires not only the theoretical knowledge, but also the teamwork skills to solve the real engineering tasks. learning methods are needed to be incorporated in student-centered team-based learning pedagogy such as project-based, case-based, inquiry-based and problem-based scenarios. The used approach in this education program is project-based learning. In this paper the advantages and problems of using the PBL method for teaching the special disciplines or courses was discussed based on got experience and students feedback.

Online teaching method breaks through the limitation of traditional teaching time and space. This method gives students more autonomy in using fragmented learning and greatly enriches teaching resources. However, online education is short of information communication between teachers and students and lacks of restraint on students. Offline teaching is more interactive between teachers and students with diversified teaching modes. However, offline teaching has some problems such as not recording students' learning process in time. This paper takes MosoTeach as the platform. We integrate online and offline teaching modes. Through the construction of mixed teaching mode, guide students' learning interest, change the traditional teaching evaluation mode, and emphasize students' process learning.

This paper reported on industry involvement in Undergraduate Research Project (URP) course. During the final year of study, Chemical engineering (Biotechnology) (BKB) students were required to conduct a final year project. Undergraduate Research Project (URP) was divided into two which were URP I and URP II. In URP I, students have to prepare a research proposal and URP II was the continuation of URP I. In URP II the students were required to conduct the research and produce the dissertation. Rubrics for each evaluation have been developed to clearly define the assessments. In order to ensure a strong connection between students, staff and industry, BKB students were required to have at least 15% industrially linked/based URP topics. Starting from 2012, the faculty has invited external examiners from research institution and industries to assess students during their URP II presentation seminar. The presentation seminar was successfully conducted with the involvement of 14 industrial academic panels. The panels came from various industries, research institutes and consultation companies such as Petronas, MTBE Malaysia, Biotropics Malaysia, MOX Gases, FRIM and Sime Darby. Their recommendations and suggestions during the presentation projects have benefited all students and lecturer towards improving their research works. Other than that, the requirement to have at least 15% industrially linked URP topics has strengthened the relationship between the faculty and industry. In addition, several URP projects has been sent for research exhibition, internal and externally.

The purpose of this study is to design a computational thinking curriculum standard for K-12 education. The Delphi technique was employed to collect different views and derive consensus from a panel of thirteen experts, including computer scientists, computer science educators, K-12 computer teachers, and industry experts. The first draft of Delphi survey questionnaire, consisting of nine themes (problem solving, problem decomposition, algorithms, data representation, data analysis, modeling and simulation, abstraction, automation, and others) and 60 competence indicators, was developed based on our investigation of the nature of CT (Computational Thinking). After three rounds of survey and a final round-table discussion, the expert panel derived 49 essential competence indicators (thirteen for grades K to 6, nine for grades 7 to 9 and twenty seven for grades 10 to 12) and eight optional competence indicators (one for grades 7 to 9 and seven for grades 10 to 12). According to the results, the core ability and training of computational thinking are different in grades. In grades K to 6, students develop logical thinking and problem solving skills in personal and family life. In grades 7 to 9, students must understand the basic concepts of programming and write basic programs. Finally, in grades 10 to 12, they will use high-level skills to apply the concepts of abstraction, modeling, and structured problem decomposition to solve problems in different fields. The results serve as useful references for developing Taiwan's new K-12 computing curriculum.

Lacking of appropriate learning facilities, the traditional approach to learn high-performance computing (HPC) is commonly theory-oriented without sufficient hands-on programming experiences. To improve the hands-on experiences of HPC learners, we design and implement a flexible and adaptive online HPC learning platform in this paper, called EasyHPC. This platform contains various online course modules such as quiz bank, interactive community, and virtual laboratory. In our system, various HPC theoretical and experimental learning activities can be conducted online, such as assigning HPC parallel programming tasks, and creating HPC questions and collecting students' submissions. It is convenient for students to study HPC-related courses in our platform, submit course assignments, exchange ideas, and complete HPC programming tasks. Our preliminary learning trials have shown that our system can effectively improve the hands-on experience of our students by providing an integrated HPC learning and programming environment. Our students are able to achieve various HPC capstone projects in our platform to develop their system capability.

Developing computing education curricula and methods that align with university-wide learning objectives can be challenging. The goal is to ensure that students are engaged and have agency over their learning and that the curriculum is designed to enhance their formative growth to prepare them for the industry. To address this challenge, it is important to understand the underlying motives and learning patterns of both the course structure and the individual students. The Task-Oriented Portfolio Assessment (TOPA) model, along with software tools, enhances student success in computing education. TOPA employs frequent formative feedback, delayed summative grading, and outcomes-based assessment, fostering ongoing dialogue between students and staff. Recent changes introduce focus into the model, enhancing formative feedback and learning outcomes. Focus directs student attention and guides tutor feedback, addressing the challenge of understanding course structures and individual student motivations. In this paper, we describe progress through staff focus groups in a university computing department. Findings from sessions with course directors and team members identify key learning objectives, course themes, and skills. We explore course infrastructure, unit sequencing, and their alignment with the graduate course and unit learning outcomes. We also conceptualize tracking student progress and achievements across units through assessments and feedback. Results suggest that incorporating a focus framework with traceability techniques encourages students to see course units as interconnected, improving course completion and graduate employability. Challenges include rubric support, feedback consistency, and potential resistance from tutors or students. Further research is needed to validate effectiveness across institutions.
