🌟 TRAINER GUIDE — FULL 5‑MODULE PROGRAMME

---

MODULE 1 — Curriculum Design & Course Development

Duration: 2 hours
Trainer Goal: Enable PoPs to design industry‑aligned, OBE‑compliant engineering courses.

Session Flow

1. Warm‑up (10 min)

   • Ask: “What is missing in today’s engineering curriculum?”
   • Collect 5–6 responses.

2. Mini‑Lecture (20 min)

   • Explain OBE (CO–PO–PSO)
   • Show good vs bad CO examples
   • Demonstrate mapping industry skills to modules

3. Illustration (Engineering)

   • Civil: Drainage design course
   • CSE: Cloud deployment course
   • Mechanical: CNC machining micro‑course

4. Activity (30 min)

   • Teams redesign an existing syllabus
   • Output: 3 COs + 1 module + 1 practical

5. Trainer Review (20 min)

   • Give feedback using CO‑writing rubric

6. Wrap‑up (10 min)

   • Key takeaway: “Start with outcomes, end with assessments.”

MODULE 2 — Teaching & Introducing New Courses

Duration: 2 hours
Trainer Goal: Equip PoPs to deliver high‑impact, industry‑based teaching.

Session Flow

1. Engage (10 min)

   • Show a real engineering failure video (bridge collapse, server outage).
   • Ask: “How would you teach this as a PoP?”

2. Mini‑Lecture (20 min)

   • Case‑based learning
   • Problem‑based learning
   • 5E Model for lecture design

3. Demonstration (15 min)

   • Trainer models a 10‑minute PoP‑style lecture
   • Example: “Why transformers fail in summer” (EEE)

4. Activity (30 min)

   • Participants design a 10‑minute case‑based lesson
   • Output: Case + Data + Task + Expected solution

5. Peer Review (20 min)

   • Use a simple rubric: clarity, relevance, engagement

6. Wrap‑up (10 min)

   • Key takeaway: “Teach like an engineer, not like a textbook.”

2. Mini‑Lecture (20 min)

   • Design Thinking (Empathize → Test)
   • MVP
   • Lean Canvas
   • GROW mentoring model

3. Illustration (Engineering)

   • Civil: Campus flooding → permeable pavement
   • EEE: Solar hybrid streetlight
   • CSE: AI attendance system

4. Activity (30 min)

   • Teams create a Lean Canvas for a student idea
   • Output: 1‑page canvas

5. Mentorship Simulation (20 min)

   • Trainer plays “student founder”
   • Participants mentor using GROW

6. Wrap‑up (10 min)

   • Key takeaway: “Innovation = solving real problems for real users.”
