Abstract

Indeed, in this epoch of technologies, the students of engineering are the architects of future India. A vast knowledge explosion has made the world shrivel into a global village, due to the augmentation in science and technology which enhances social change, i.e. the synchronism of Information and Communication Technology (ICT), has opened up new panorama for social and economic development. To meet the growing population and the growing demands of the society it is necessary to utilize the potential of ICT, need of the hour in all the fields for the nationalized human resource development. As there is a demand for adopting ICT, a dynamic tool, also in the field of education, this paper goes on discussing the implication of ICT imparted into a blended learning model that provides “simulated environments” by using approaches such as virtual campus, Modular Object Oriented Developmental Learning Environment (MOODLE), Android App, etc., to enable the students apply their knowledge and skills to solve problems, get learning experiences and help in broadening  their understandings, knowledge, critical thinking and creative skills in the ground of Engineering. Beyond this, this report adds the tools, principles and ways in which ICT is used, and how it creates new learning opportunities.
