Abstract:
The present era is an era of academic globalization. Engineers of today and tomorrow are
expected to be far more ingenious and innovative. Now a day with the tremendous
developments in technology, possibilities are emerging to provide technical edification in an
innovative way to meet ecumenical demands. With the avail of incipient kind of scholastic
programmers, we can provide multidimensional and multi-disciplinary edifying experiences
to the learners e-Contents are the puissant implement of inculcation. e-Content is the latest
method of tutoring, which has magnetized more attention of educationists.
Hence there is less possibility of incorporating technology to edify Engineering Subjects.
And additionally there is no quality e-Contents were developed for Engineering Physics
Subject. Hence the main objectives of this study is to A) To develop an e-Content on
―Thermodynamics‖. B) To validate the developed e-Content. C) To ascertain the efficacy of
developed e-Content in edifying ―Thermodynamics‖ to first year Engineering
Undergraduates.
A pre-test, post-test two group experimental design was adopted. Sample of 60 First Year
Engineering Undergraduates were exposed to different treatments such as edifying through e-
Content and conventional method of edifying. The study was additionally fixated on
ascertaining the consequential distinctions between control and experimental group of First
Year Engineering Undergraduates in their academic achievement while learning
―Thermodynamics‖ with reference to gain scores. The achievement scores were analyzed
utilizing different statistical techniques. It was found that the experimental group
Undergraduates who were edified through e-Content material had better achievement scores
than the control group Undergraduates in learning ―Thermodynamics‖. In conclusion, this
present study pellucidly denotes that the developed e- content on ―Thermodynamics‖ is more
efficacious and as recommendation can verbally express that Chalk and verbalize method of
edifying Engineering Physics Subject should be reduced. More incipient instructional
technologies utilizing e-Contents shall be introduced in Engineering Faculties.
