Syllabus reforms
Higher Education Institutions bridge the gap between school education and job market. The quality of teaching to prepare graduates with the right skills is the key to a country’s economic growth. Despite the major transformation in various technology driven fields, teaching courses and textbooks remain disconnected from practical applications of such technology and students are often ill-prepared for the real-world. Industrial retraining of students is a common practice. Industry involvement is important in guiding curriculum design, help with teaching on problem solving tasks and case studies and organisation of industry visits. In the recent few years, a number of organisations have sprung up for providing ancillary coaching services to prepare students for placements and jobs but very few are involved in guiding syllabus and quality of teaching improvements. We can audit and advise on the necessary changes to make course more competitive.
Our services
- Appraisal of current syllabus from an eminent panel including national and international experts
- Appraisal of teaching practices and course material
- Design of new syllabus in consultation with industry
- Industry placement as a part of syllabus changes
Our approach
Problem solving requires knowledge from multiple fields. For example, developing a drone solution or a warehouse asset management system needs expertise from more than one course (e.g. programming, databases, mathematics) or more than one field (e.g. electrical, mechanical, computers). Our approach to learning is through problem solving. Syllabus redesign integrates these elements in combination with teaching of subject theory.
Issues you may be facing
There seems to be a universal feeling that several teaching syllabus currently taught need major upgrade. You may be more acutely interested in syllabus changes if:
- The feedback from students on content and teaching delivery is negative. They may find the courses boring with little explanation of how they will use the knowledge gained in the real-world.
- Student placement feedback from industry is negative showing their dissatisfaction with student knowledge
- Job placements are not as per expectation
- It is difficult to motivate your undergraduate students to study further on postgraduate and PhD programs
