Abstract


In the 21st century, learning opportunities and experiences of students have greatly improved with blended earning. This paper presents the case study of one such delivery method in undergraduate engineering education implemented for programme of Quality Enhancement in Engineering Education (QEEE) at BMS College of Engineering, Bangalore. The programme covered courses across various engineering branches. The course structure included modules for live classes, virtual labs, tutorials, bridge courses and MOOCs. Roles and responsibilities of the various stakeholders along with the infrastructure requirements for participating in QEEE are presented here. The paradigm is well accepted by both students and staff in the first year of its implementation. The evaluation data collected in this study include responses of all stakeholders collected through interviews and a questionnaire survey.
