ASSIGNMENTS

The primary objective of engineering assignments is to build up the analytical and problem- solving skills
in a student. Assignments include questions mapping to higher order of thinking skills. After completion
of each module of syllabus, students are given one assignment. In total, every student writes five
assignments which help him/her in better understanding of the course and develops ability to go beyond the
huddles and thereby inculcate lifelong learning. It promotes the problem solving based learning experience
among the students.

The Assignments include

• Multiple Choice Questions ( Included in the CIE Question Paper)
• Assignment Problems mapped to Higher Order Thinking Skills
• Student Seminar with Report submission
• Mini Projects with Report Submission
• Flipped Classroom
• Case Study with Report Submission
• Model Making
• Laboratory Component for NEP Syllabus
