Abstract
Engineering education needs to be flexible with the changing technology, and it must blend traditional and new teaching pedagogy for the overall knowledge creation in the students. A survey of prevalent experiential learning methods has shown tremendous potential to improve engineering students' learning. However, existing experiential learning methods are hard to integrate with current teaching-learning process at Amity University, Uttar Pradesh, Lucknow Campus, India. A pilot study conducted during Power plant Instrumentation taught in the seventh semester of the Electrical and Electronics undergraduate program balances the current teaching method with the proposed Trajectory -driven pedagogy as an alternative teaching pedagogy. A trajectory driven computerized adaptive assessment procedure for teaching has been proposed in this paper. The system follows a trajectory of courses to generate the subsequent questions from the vast database of questions. A sequence of questions is guided by Concept Map which represents the questions from three courses in a hierarchical manner. Analysis of students' assessments shows that the proposed methodology could is accurate for quantitative measurement of the course learning outcomes in a summative assessment.
