Effective teaching method for engineering education from student's perspective

![CDATA[Education system involves two primary complementary processes: learning and teaching. A successful implementation of this system depends on synchronisation of these two processes. One the receiving end, students learns by utilizing different mediums such as hearing and seeing and by applying different methods such as memorizing, visualizing or logically understanding. One the delivering ends, teachers instruct by utilizing different approaches: visual or auditory, face-to-face or online, theoretical delivery or practical demonstration and so on. In complex subjects such as of engineering education, mismatch often exists in the system between the receiving and delivering point of instruction. As a result, majority of students have performed poorly in examination, students get discouraged about the course, and themselves, and in some case change to other curricula or drop out of school. Academics know something is not working or begin to wonder if they are in the right profession. Most seriously, society loses potentially excellent engineers. However, promising future can be speculated on the minimisation of this gap as extensive research, workshop and conferences are in place to improve the education system. Still, only few can be found that specifically focuses on improving technical education system such as engineering which is very important as graduates from this school are expected to make significantly sensitive decisions to the community such as designing of bridges, maintaining electricity production or ensuring reliable water supply. In this paper, some effective alternatives teaching methods particularly significant in engineering education and which teaching methods are preferred by most engineering students are discussed from student’s perspective. The suggested teaching style will improve the quality of teaching and that will be effective for students and comfortable for the professor will evolve naturally and relatively painlessly, with a potentially dramatic effect on the quality of learning that subsequently occurs.]]
