Innovative Teaching Methods

The department consists of dedicated, qualified and experienced faculty and supporting staff in various fields of Computer Science and Engineering. All the staff members meet the requirements as prescribed by AICTE and Osmania University. Various pedagogical activities have been followed by the faculty for the student in order to create interest over the subjects and the developing technologies.

The following are the various teaching methodologies used in different aspects for the delivery of course:

i) Lecture Method and Interactive Learning:

• Audiovisual aids, chalk, and board are used by the faculty for teaching.
• Students are encouraged to clarify their doubts, during the lecture hour itself.
• Tutorial Sessions for Problem-Oriented subjects are done by the subject teachers.

ii) Application Based Learning:

• Students are encouraged to attend workshops from 2nd year onwards. As an outcome of the workshop, interested students will develop Projects/ mini Projects at the end of the workshop.
• All third-year students are encouraged to do mini projects and are asked to submit the same before the commencement of exams.
• Students are encouraged for an internship in the industry during vacations.
• Students are taken to industrial visit at least once a semester to see the real-time operation.
• Encouraging students to participate in the events Smart India Hackathon, MSME, Project expo, Coding contest.

iii) Practical Learning:

• Experiments beyond syllabus are conducted in the Laboratory.
• Virtual Lab Exercises are given to the students.
• Laboratories are accessible for the students during the scheduled periods and also during leisure hours for doing experiments.
• Charts are displayed in laboratories through which the students can gain a basic idea about different subjects.
• Students are taken to the industries through industrial visit through that acquiring the knowledge about the real-time applications.

iv) Hi-tech classroom:

• All classrooms are equipped with projector facility.
