Evidence Based Learning

Evidence-based learning emphasizes the use of critical thinking and the best available evidence over traditional conventions or hierarchical opinions. In this approach, students engage actively by participating in theInnovation Village Program, at Lok Jagruti Kendra University where they present their innovative projects and pursue patent applications for their ideas.

                                                                                                

Innovation Village program

From 11th to 13th March 2024, B.E. Civil Engineering students of Lok Jagruti Kendra University participated in a hands-on Model-Based Learning activity coordinated by Mr. Yogesh Panchal. This activity aimed to bridge theory and practice by engaging students in constructing physical and scaled models that represented core civil engineering concepts. Groups of students developed models related to structural engineering, fluid dynamics, and construction technology—such as bridges, frameworks, water flow simulations, and foundations—under the guidance of faculty members. Emphasis was placed on conceptual planning, material selection, and functional demonstrations to reinforce theoretical understanding. A total of 22 students took part in the group-based offline sessions. Through this experience, they enhanced their conceptual clarity, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills. Students gained practical exposure to assessing the feasibility and stability of engineering designs and improved their technical communication through model presentations. The activity also nurtured creativity, teamwork, and the ability to translate classroom knowledge into real-world engineering applications.

From 8th to 10th May 2025, a Model-Based Learning activity was conducted for Mechanical Engineering students of Lok Jagruti Kendra University under the coordination of Mr. Bhagyadeep Kalal. The activity aimed to deepen students' conceptual understanding by engaging them in the construction and analysis of physical models based on key mechanical engineering principles. Working in teams, students created functioning or demonstrative models such as gear systems, link mechanisms, hydraulic actuators, and thermal expansion units. These models applied concepts from subjects like kinematics, machine design, thermodynamics, and materials science. Each group presented their models, explaining the design process, theoretical basis, and real-world relevance. A total of 32 students participated in this offline, classroom-based initiative. The experience enhanced their technical fabrication, testing, and presentation skills. Students demonstrated improved collaborative problem-solving and the ability to apply theory in tangible formats. This activity fostered creativity, critical thinking, and technical communication, ultimately preparing students to understand how classroom learning connects to practical engineering applications in real-world scenarios.
