Abstract
This paper focuses on the strategies of implementing different methods to increase the student’s engagement in online classes and innovative ways to educate engineering students. As COVID-19 has taken over the World for the past one year, all the education has been moved to online world. As engineering courses are different, it requires students to be in lab and work with electronic components, micro-controllers, and other equipment’s. It has been difficult for the students and as well as the professors to be focused in the class and have better education and results out of it. Students are usually frustrated, lost and give up due to the time limit and constraints. The methodologies implemented has vastly improvised the outcome of students and as well as a teachers work. The methods implemented has shown that 1. Students were engaged in class; 2. Output of course results were positive; 3. Students were working as a team; 4. Students came up with innovative ways to do the class work; 5. Manage time well; 6. Find different ways of solving problems while working in a group. The same strategies were also implemented during summer research program which has proven to be beneficial to students and as well as the high-school teachers. The students who were in different Countries due to COVID-19 has had beneficial outcome even after being in different time zones. This strategies will also be implemented in research laboratory to see the effects of it and how it can improvised further.
