Enhancing research proficiency in postgraduate engineering students

Research is born and brought up in universities and reputed institutions. The engineering education is having significant contribution towards research. Engineers play an important role in development of technologies in all the fields and facilitate them to lay man. This happens only through research. Scientific Research is well disciplined study in order to find the solution, prove a theory or answer the particular question. Research scholars have to follow the series of steps and protocols to succeed in research. One of the main goal of Postgraduate (PG) program is exploring the students to research. PG students of engineering education are from different circuit branches and peers knowledge level is also different. So it is a big challenge for the faculties to explore the students towards research. In this article authors propose the linking of courses in the PG curriculum to focus more on research and pedagogical activities to encourage the students for doing research. Workshop conduction, Industrial visit, Presentations and Publication are the pedagogical activities practiced by the authors. The impact of these activities results in 88% of students publishing papers in international journal with impact factor 1.05.
