Uniqueness, innovation, and teamwork are critical to the success of every industry. Requirements of the industry vs theoretical knowledge of the students do not go well aligned in the conventional method of learning. Industry having requirements of interdisciplinary expertise, critical and innovative thinking, explicit research and understanding of the user, manufacturer and system needs are not being catered during the delivery of course. Students undergo a challenging task in their personal life as well as in professional life to meet their long- and short-term goals. Making them proactive and exhibiting these skills acquires a career, sustain and excel in the same to make their dream come true. To enhance the design attributes, out-of-box thinking, creativity, teamwork, innovation, decision making this sophomore course named "Foundation to Product Design" inspires and motivates students to work in teams, promote learning and thinking skills, understand the role of the user, build prototypes and also improvise their communication and presentation skills. These attributes form the base to develop their career and become a successful and effectual engineer and also gives them a scope of entrepreneurial independence.

Social Networking Sites (SNS) is deeply penetrating into today’s culture and lifestyle of humans. It has not only left its marks in social life but also in education as well in the form of blended learning. Researchers are now striving to utilize SNS as pedagogy re-engineering tool for academics. In this study, an attempt is made to understand the perception of students and teacher community on the inclusion of SNS as a pedagogy tool into Higher Education Institutes (HEIs). For this purpose, a questionnaire survey was conducted into two HEIs of Chhattisgarh, one private and one government institute. The survey included students as well as teachers with a total of 255 stakeholders of the two HEIs. The findings of this research provide an insight to the quest of including SNS into HEIs.

In higher education scenarios, elective courses sought to provide a deeper insight of the trending advancements in the field of specialization for undergraduate students. So, choice of elective subjects during the pre-final or final year of the undergraduates play a crucial role as they help in shaping their career or area of specialization for future research. However, there exist numerous gaps and concerns that arise due to mismatch of the elective courses pre-requisites and the student’s possessed skills-set which result in degraded quality as well as student academic performance. This research study focuses on filling in these gaps by predicting the marks in different elective subjects for the current cohort of students, beforehand, as well as side by side preserving their explicit subject preferences. With the help of the proposed methodology an accuracy of 88% was achieved for providing efficient bilateral elective course recommendations.
