Evaluation is a process of assessing and measuring the educational system through many techniques like oral or viva-voce exam, subjective exam and objective exam etc. After conducting a survey on 200 peoples, we found, objective exam is preferred to evaluate the students frequently due to the easy and less time consuming in the evaluation of objective answer-sheet in compare to the subjective answer-sheet. This paper is a discussion on a solution to evaluate the objective answer-sheet automatically by computer. It is used to automate the import data which emanate from objective answer sheets into a computer. Its main advantage is the ability to work with every single scanner of the market, needing no extra drivers whatsoever and no special color printing of the forms. Optical character recognition technique is used here to recognize the response of the students. Thirty objective sheets were filled by 30 peoples to test the proposed system.

Faculty members are the key human resource for an engineering institution. The quality of the faculty members decides the success of engineering education to a large extent and hence their development is very vital for the sustained growth of an institution. An all-round or holistic development of faculty members to cater to the needs of future is imperative as the challenges faced and responsibilities to be shouldered by them in today's engineering education environment is very wide and diverse in nature. It is necessary that faculty members given training with suitable focus and emphasis to attain academic effectiveness, accelerate growth and to achieve synergy at the institutional level. Keeping in mind the above facts, a three tier approach for the development of faculty members of engineering colleges to equip them with the necessary knowledge and skill sets is proposed. The model will be administered over a period of time at various levels giving due emphasis for professionalism. The approach involves multiple modules, continuous learning, practicing, sharing of experiences, reflecting on practices and assessment at all stages.

Some of the major challenges of teaching programming course as an elective are spending more time on syntax coverage, lack of hands on session or practical sessions and less number of credits allotted for the course. It is extremely hard for any programming elective subject to attain the course outcomes because of huge variation in the students background, constraints of allotting less number of credits and traditional classroom teaching. The solution to this dilemma is provided by hands on session tutorials that transforms and enhances traditional classroom teaching. We proposed, refined the curriculum, and tested for teaching first elective course in programming languages. In this paper we present the effectiveness of teaching programming elective subject by introducing ”Hands on Sessions” and redesigning our curriculum to meet stakeholders requirements. Our results presented in this paper indicate that incorporating ”Hands on Sessions” in teaching programming elective subject is an effective tool to attain the learning outcomes of the course. In addition, new teaching methodology enhances the students problem solving skills and improves self learning ability.

Photovoltaic (PV) systems are growing popular nowadays due to the incessant demand for power. This has resulted in increased awareness and interest among the engineering students to learn these systems. However, PV related laboratory courses have ceased to exist due to the cost of PV panels and the relevant equipment required as well as the complexity involved in handling and testing of such systems mainly due to the dependence on the external weather conditions. This work proposes low cost and low power equipment for hands on experimentation of concepts like VI curves, Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT), partial shading, interconnection schemes to enhance the power generation in a PV array etc., in a laboratory at an undergraduate level. The experimental setup along with the procedure for performing the experiments in a compendious manner has been explained for various real life problems in PV generation systems. The outcomes of the proposed prototype with small rating PV cells and artificial light sources demonstrate the articulate nature as well as the didactic contributions of the equipment.

Mobile Ad hoc Network (MANET) is a network comprises of mobile nodes connected without any centralized administration. Each node in the network has the ability to share a large number of objects with other nodes. The nodes are connected with other nodes to forward a message to other nodes until the search for node that desire meets. This paper represents a new replication method to recover the performance in distributed system. Objects are replicated on different nodes in the network to minimize the search for an object. It is observed that mobility of nodes predicted using SOM (Self Organizing Maps) technique provides less accuracy. This paper represents an algorithm that uses the network parameters as input condition to replicate objects into the nodes. The decision for each node will be taken by gathering the input conditions and feed to the Hopfield Neural Network. It is view that it will provide more accuracy and improve the performance.

Globalization, Customization and Web 2.01 are having substantial effects in the Education sector. For this, the government of India has taken strong steps towards Collaborative E-Learning which yields significant social, educational, financial and research profits. The learning infrastructure has improved many folds providing easy access to innovative technologies. But, for its utmost utilization, there is need to identify the intended learners and their cognitive requirements to produce precise E-Content and Content Management Systems (CMS)2 to match the learner's needs, cognitive ability and learning attitude. Keeping this in view, the present study suggests a cognitive agent3 based expert system for collaborative E-Learning. The system drives on learner's cognitive ability. It simulates the human thought process during teaching-learning activity and collaborative learning; and thus, provides the relevant, unambiguous E-Content. The system can be used to obtain an insight to the learner's cognitive aspects and willingness to learn in social interactive environment. Based on the empirical data gathered, the system instructs the learner for self paced learning or social interactive learning. The system is referred as CAESMCE-Learning (Cognitive Agent based Expert System for Metacognitive and Collaborative E-Learning). The agent acts as a software artifact that exhibits intelligent behavior in a very complex domain like human learning where the system attempts to model the cognitive process associated with learning. The system is like an intelligent agent which is reactive, instructable, adaptive and cognitive. The property of instructability is important since by allowing the instructional designer to feed the agent with new knowledge during its execution, it helps to solve the knowledge acquisition problem. The system models human intelligence and human perspective of the world using BDI (Belief-Desire-Intention) Model. In the context of this study, Metacognitive E-Learning is a computer-supported self paced collaborative learning approach which assists the learner to become more aware of the learning attitude and learning requirements and thus, make strategies for learning based on the experience. Metacognitive approach can help the learners to help themselves. This system can be used to determine the learning pattern and thought process of the learner during the learning activity. It can be used to study the impact of self paced and collaborative E-Learning on learner's cognitive capability. It is no longer confined to the delivery of instructional packets delivered to learners and then evaluated by the teacher. Now, the emphasis is on self paced social learning using social software such as blogs, wikis, podcasts. It works on the principle that the knowledge is socially constructed and learning takes place through conversations about content and grounded interaction about problems and actions. It is believed that one of the best ways to learn

Competency development of employees in large organizations has become very important in current times of extremely volatile business environment. In order to consistently provide its customers and clients the best business solutions, employees of an organization have to be the best in their competencies. A competent team of employees is the foundation of any successful organization. A company will disentangle and fail without employees who perform at high level every day. Hence, a focused approach is the need of the day for competency development of employees covering various aspects of technical, domain, process, project management and soft skills. All skill enablement programs require a structured courseware which may help the employees to learn a given competency in a focused and planned manner. In this paper, we discuss about the importance of courseware design and development during competency development of employees. A series of challenges are argued in this regard followed by a suggested DDQ framework for courseware design and development. Towards the end, we discuss benefits and advantages of this framework for various stake holders involved during the whole exercise.
