Contents: • Periodical Change in learning pattern • Benefits and Constraints of ICT in Education • Students demand for ICT in education at NIT, Durgapur • Available resources at NIT, Durgapur to combat • Concept of High Voltage Virtual Laboratory • Concept of ICT enabled High Voltage Virtual Laboratory • Budgetary estimate for proposal • Activity schedule for proposal • Conclusion

Learning pattern change in Engineering Education 1990 First human being 1800 • Observation and practice (Workshop base) • Supplemented by whatever instruction was relevant and available • E learning • Virtual Laboratory • Remote Laboratory • Institute and Industry Collaboration • Web based learning • Distance Education • The learning of engineering has been transferred from the workplace to the schools • Establishment of theory and theory has been substituted for practice and application

Benefits and Constraints of ICT in Education: Benefits : • Anywhere, Anytime, Anyone Learning • Substantial Cost and Time Savings • Innovative and Interactive Learning • Improved Collaboration • Just-in-Time Access to Timely Information • Self-paced Learning • Allows Learning to be Broken down into Units • Allows to combat faculty shortage IT’S REALLY ROSY ? ? Constraints: • Level of interactivity • Strong ICT Infrastructure • Adequate Bandwidth Support • Budget constraints • Attitudinal constraints • Thorough training • Content development HOOPS !!!!!!

Students demand feed back National Institute of Technology, Durgapur Total No of Students: 2100 No of undergraduate courses: 10 No of Post graduate courses : 6 Students demand e learning in Percentage : 32% Awareness of e learning: 67%

Why High Voltage Engineering ? • Electricity is most versatile form of energy • Development of country rests largely on power sector progress • Increasing Global demand of Electricity • Implementation of Grid Concepts • Testing for the equipment • Development work on equipments for conducting research • Economical and reliable operation of high voltage transmission system P = V * I High voltage: Minimize costs in conductors, towers and equipment Minimize power loss to increase efficiency The higher the voltage the smaller the current and therefore the smaller the losses

Status of High Voltage Engineering Education in India ? No of Engineering Institutes in India > 1000 Imparting High Voltage Engineering Education in No (Apx) = 275 No of High Voltage laboratory in Institutes = 19 REGULATION **It is mandatory as per the guidelines of the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) that the laboratory facilities are to be provided for the programs which are offered by the Universities/Institutes Soln • Virtual Laboratory • ICT enabled/Remote laboratory
