The NEP focuses on providing quality education to all students, irrespective of their socio-economic background or place of residence, thus cultivating the youths of tomorrow into moral and civil citizens leading to the development of the nation. The NEP also encourages education to be Holistic, Integrated, Enjoyable and Engaging, which can be achieved by introducing and integrating new pedagogies. Service-learning is one such pedagogy that aims at being experiential, inquiry-driven, and meaningful. Service-learning is popular at enabling students to apply classroom learnings into the real-world and gain hands-on experience, because of which, it is widely integrated into Higher Education Institutions (HEIs), especially at the undergraduate level, around the world. Given the outcome of implementing NEP by 2030, it is reasonable to envision HEIs of India, primarily engineering, to adopt and integrate service-learning experiences into their curriculum as well. This paper is an attempt to showcase the learning outcomes and scope of service-learning as a pedagogy to accomplish the objectives of NEP 2020.

Our engineering graduates must be the developers of innovative technologies, products and processes addressing sustainable development goals. In this paper, we propose a paradigmatic shift in conventional engineering education curricula, transforming out of conventional chalk-and-talk lectures only accompanied by limited assessment methods of problem sets and exams. This paper suggests engineering programs need to implement changes to update and upgrade curricular and programmatic approaches, ensuring the programmes will graduate transformative thinkers and creative problem solvers. In this paper, we propose several pedagogical approaches be integrated into engineering curricula to be relevant to sustainable development. First, Project based learning (PBL) pedagogies must be incorporated into each course. The PBL should be implemented through Service Learning (SL), requiring projects be communitybased and socially beneficial. The PBL approach should utilize open ended design (OED) thinking in implementation and execution of projects, which must address needs and challenges faced by community members around the engineering institutions’ communities. Most critically, awareness of ethics in engineering should be integrated into all courses. From the government’s policy perspective, they should mandate that government funded and private engineering and technology educational institutions require students complete a community-based service project as part of graduation requirements. This completes the circle and integrates engineering education into sustainable development policy and practice. This paper will outline PBL, SL and ethics in engineering, while describing some of these projects that have served to demonstrate sustainable development through community-based student-driven projects.

Engineering is applied everywhere; from the design and development of novel products and processes to providing solutions to complex challenges. Engineering education is therefore of key significance to a growing economy. With a prime focus on improving qual i ty and providing hol i sti c development of learners, developments are taking place worldwide in Engineering education & research. The term 'learners' indicate students and has been used interchangeably in the entire script. Purpose: National Education Policy 2020 of the Government of India proposed reforms to the existing education framework of the country and emphasized on introducing multidisciplinary undergraduate programmes with multiple exit options. This study proposes an inclusive curriculum with different course types from multiple disciplines for anundergraduate engineering programme and articulates the relevance of the framework to foster holistic development. Research Methodology: The study incorporates a structured design approach where inputs from senior leaders of 60 Universities offering undergraduate programmes formed the basis of the preliminary work. The academic framework was designed under the regulations and guidelines of the statutory body for t echni ca l programmes. On succ essful implementation, a research instrument was administered to a cohort of learners of an undergraduate engineering programme, and the data collected was then analysed. Findings: From the findings, we infer that a multidisciplinary engineering programme would enhance research skills and enable the learners to selfmanage to a great extent along with developing their critical thinking skills. The results are statistically significant with p<0.05. Implications of the Study: This study would help Universities and Higher Education Institutions to explore the possibilities of provisioning courses from diversified disciplines in an Engineering curriculum to promote multi-disciplinarity. The findings from the study would be beneficial to the learners to realize the potential of multidisciplinary education and accordingly pursue their career aspirations.

Syntax Analyzer or Parser is important phase in designing the compiler. So while designing this phase of the compiler, students must have thorough knowledge about the types of parser such as LL(1), SLR, Canonical LR and LALR. In the parser phase, the parsing table is built for given Context Free Grammar (CFG). While implementing this parsing phase in laboratory session, two Free Open Source Software (FOSS) - JFLAP and Parsing Emulator, are considered to explain the types of parser and building the parsing table for the CFG using these parser types. JFLAP is software for experimenting with formal languages topics including nondeterministic finite automata, nondeterministic pushdown automata, multi-tape Turing machines, several types of grammars, parsing, and Lsystems. So this tool is considered for parsing phase of Compiler. JFLAP tool is used to explain the steps to be followed to solve the given problem using the parsing technique. Parsing simulator is a software which implements the parsing table for the Context Free Grammars in tool. This simulator is used to generate parsing table (LL1, SLR, LR, and LALR). Parsing Emulator tool is used for practicing the problem statement given in the tool. In current study, use of FOSS such as JFLAP and Parsing Emulator is considered for teaching parser types to improve problem solving ability. The Learning Objectives (LOs) of this study are: To build the parsing table for given CFG using LL(1) and SLR parser (LO1) and to parse the given string using LL(1) and SLR parser (LO2). The research questions for this study are – whether the use of FOSS improves the problem solving ability of the students? and whether gender bias is there in education? Two groups post-test method is considered to check the effectiveness of this use of FOSS in learning the parser types. Also the students’ perception about this method is also considered. The result shows that the students’ problem solving ability of experimental group is improved as compared to the control group irrespective of gender.

This necessitates the teachers to employ multivariate pedagogical strategies to uphold the attention of students and provide them with a longterm knowledge base. One such strategy involving visualization and supporting active learning is the mind mapping tool. Mind maps can be employed as a teaching aid along with other active learning strategies in order to unleash the in-depth associations between related concepts. Through its innate visual structure, it helps the students to organize and assimilate concepts by looking into the broader picture. Mind mapping not only aids as a longterm memory technique but also promotes design thinking and lateral thinking skills. In this paper, exploiting mind maps throughout the teaching and learning process of Computer Architecture and Organization course for the undergraduate students of the third-year engineering programme is elaborately discussed. Through the case study presented, the mind map is showcased to take various facets like ‘Storm a brain-map’, ‘Break the ice-map’, ‘Fill the neurons’ and ‘Unit wise summary map’ in different sessions of the teaching learning process. It was not only used as a teaching aid, but also served as an effective formative assessment tool for evaluating the students’ understanding of the subject matter. The schema for scoring the mind maps and its relevance to the anticipated summative performance of the students is discussed. Thus, mind maps help in transforming the delivery mechanism and thereby promotes a radical learning environment.
