Institutional Weakness

1. GCEM has to improve its curricular implementation by involving students enrolled in a subject related
number of certificate/diploma programs.
2. We should work over the number of research projects funded by government and non-government
agencies
3. The institution has a forecast to recognize and appreciate teachers who receive state, national and
international recognition/ awards with incentives.
4. Sketch out the structure, it is observed that we must be essential and systematically grow to receive
awards and recognitions for extension activities from government/recognized bodies.
5. Facilities for e-content development such as Media Centre, Recording facility are yet another area to be
improved.
6. We stand less in count in the average percentage of students benefitted by Vocational Education and
Training (VET) as we are adopting curriculum structure from VTU that cannot be altered as per our
institution's needs.
7. As we are an infant institution our alumni fund contribution in records is minimum.

Page 3/114 11-03-2020 09:16:40

 Self Study Report of GOPALAN COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING AND MANAGEMENT

Institutional Opportunity

1. Increase and strengthen external collaborations with industries to establish development in providing
internship and carrier opportunities to students by numbering up initiatives to be made in the areas of
placement, funding received and signing in MOUs.
2. Focus on excellence with an emphasis on areas in which the students should grow to satisfy the demand
to meet up their specialization or peruse higher education.

appear for competitive exams,
7. We have also proposed a policy to increase scope towards research and innovations by expanding the
functioning of GRIT.
8. Decisions towards supporting our faculty members with financial aids to attend professional
development programs will function fully-fledged.

Institutional Challenge

1. Our society itself witness a great change in the behavior of students, which reflects in opting for a
professional course like engineering, which has considerably brought down the number of enrolment.
2. It is not so good to observe the reduction of well-qualified students to enroll in the program. Students
increasingly possessing an entitlement negative mentality towards professional courses.
3. In a few circumstances, the growth of administrative and service functions required to be in obedience
with unfunded mandates which brings down the funding system.
4. Declining resources from the other bodies and increasing dependence on tuition profits.
5. Student’s impact on the usage of mobile phones and other electronic gadgets has increased the sense of
fantasy in playing games through them rather than enhancing learning.
6. The percentage of students preparing for competitive examinations for higher studies gradually
declined.
7. Reduced campus placements due to various reasons such as recession and automation in industries

1.3 CRITERIA WISE SUMMARY

Curricular Aspects

GCEM takes at most care in building an effective mechanism to deliver the curriculum. We do a continuous
analysis to give a proper watch eye to our weakness and work on it. As a way to ensure our reliability, it is
observed we have a growth record on the participation of our full-time teachers in the discussion held by VTU
for syllabus formations.

The institution being affiliated to Visvesvaraya Technological University Belagavi, Curriculum (CBCS &
OBE), syllabus and the overall guidelines are followed as prescribed by the university. Keeping that as a
guideline we structure our academic activities feasible by formulating an academic calendar that consists of all

Page 4/114 11-03-2020 09:16:40

 Self Study Report of GOPALAN COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING AND MANAGEMENT

activities planned for that semester. We are also in the process of continuous monitoring and improvising our
academic flexibility pattern.

To enrich the curriculum, we teach ten courses which are imparted to integrate cross-cutting issues relevant to
Gender, Environment and Sustainability, Human Values and Professional Ethics. We also conduct value-added
courses every year to enhance a better knowledge transfer of contents delivers with its application. To
strengthen the enrichment of the curriculum we have made a policy decision to conduct one value-added course
per semester in each program. A structured feedback system for the syllabus of all the courses in the curriculum
is organized in the institution where the entire stakeholder is involved in every step.

GCEM has extended its wings from this academic year to grade up the system of feedback with better action
plans such as communicating the feedback report to university officials and participating in curriculum revision
workshops.

Teaching-learning and Evaluation

The most important thing in the teaching-learning process of this institute is achieved by recruiting good
competent and well-qualified teaching faculty. The faculty provides a highly conducive teaching-learning
environment that includes traditional teaching, workshops, technical seminars, group projects, distinguished
lectures, industry visits, quizzes, assignments, placement training, technical fests, project exhibitions,
conferences and so on

In order to have smooth conduction of teaching, meticulous planning is done prior to the commencement of
each semester and the special care taken for first-year students by conduction induction programs as per VTU
regulations. Weekly syllabus completion status is monitored by the principal. Tests and tutorials are conducted
on a regular basis. A feedback mechanism is taken by each faculty to identify the strength & areas for
improvement so that it helps the faculty to implement the suggestions given by the students in the remaining
part of the semester.

The institute is the part of the centralized admission process of the state government (CET Cell) and the
admissions are strictly followed as per the rules & regulation of the Government of Karnataka. The institute has
developed the academic plan, course plan & lesson plans. The student-centric methods like experiential
learning, problem-solving methods, etc., are employed at the program level and course level. Three Internal
Assessments are conducted for each theory course as per the calendar of events in a fair & transparent manner.
The Course Instructors evaluate the test books within three working days from the date of conduct of the test.
The scheme of evaluation of the CIE questions is shared with students while distributing the blue books and
also discussed to clarify doubts if any.

IQAC of the College supported by the professors monitors all the curricular, co-curricular and extra-curricular
activities in the college and ensures to provide all the necessary support to teachers and students for better

4. Quality Indicator Framework(QIF)

Criterion 1 - Curricular Aspects

1.1 Curricular Planning and Implementation

1.1.1 The institution ensures effective curriculum delivery through a well planned and documented
process

Response:

All the programs offered in our college are affiliated to Visvesvaraya Technological University (VTU), all
departments are required to implement the syllabus prescribed by the VTU. A common academic calendar
is geared up before the commencement of every semester keeping the VTU academic calendar as the
pedestal. It is detailed enough to cover the available timeframe, yet flexible enough to permit changes
department wise based on the activities planned.

To emphasis on professional methodology to balance academic and other activities like the practical,
tutorial, library, mentoring and placement training, a team of faculty members headed under the
supervision of Principal is formed as timetable coordinators. These faculty members draw up a detailed
timetable that deploys the units of time-based on credit and hours allocated by VTU to engage a student to
participate in the expected activity. A set of teaching plans based on an organized course plan consisting
of detailed allotment of the course topics with the mode of content delivery, its objectives and learning
outcomes prepared by all the faculties.

The departments strive for effective curriculum delivery through a combination of internal assessments,
assignments, seminars, quizzes, etc and innovative methods of teaching in theory and lab courses: verbal
assessment in everyday class to understand the nature of the student’s aptitude and expectations relating to
the course. Faculty members take the utmost care to complete the syllabus in time which is also
monitored by the Principal through syllabus completion collected for every course by every weekend. The
deviations if any are discussed in HoDs meeting well-thought-out every week.

Internal assessment question papers include Bloom’s taxonomy (CO and RBT level) which are verified by
the coordinator of each program and are scrutinized by the department head. Tutorials/projects, class tests
and internal assessments comprise the formal evaluative processes which are transparent and
scrutinized by HoDs and senior professors.

Students are encouraged to meet faculty beyond classroom hours for clarification of doubts at any time.
Extra hours are allocated to take remedial classes after completion of internal examinations to reinforce
students’ preparedness before the university examinations.

To intensify students’ learning experience, the college provides special lectures delivered by eminent
professors and industrialists on advanced topics related to the curriculum, audio-visual and other ICT
facilities that are extensively used by teachers in day to day teaching to make delivery of the curriculum
attractive to students.

The whole human society is the laboratory in which students can observe, analyze and gain insight into
various intricate aspects of their syllabus, much attention is paid to experiential learning through industrial

Page 20/114 11-03-2020 09:16:53

visits, workshops, seminars, internships, value-added courses, etc. Progress of delivery of the
curriculum is regularly monitored and necessary course corrections are initiated through many mediums
like a periodic parent-teacher meeting, collecting feedback from the students.

To systemize the curriculum workouts, academic auditing is done twice a semester by the Academic
Auditing Committee and the report is prepared for assessment of academic activities to ensure the
effectiveness of curriculum delivery in all the programs.

2.3.4 Innovation and creativity in teaching-learning

Response:

Teaching-Learning is an observable fact where the teacher and the student are learning. The
purpose of education is not just making a student literate but to add rationale thinking, knowledgeability,
and social responsibility. In engineering courses, the latest technologies and practice requirements require
curriculum innovation and creativity in the teaching-learning process.

Innovation and creativity in engineering courses ensure that degree programs attract students
and transform them into graduates who are well prepared for future engineering practice. Software and
hardware experiments remain significance to demonstrate theoretical concepts and will help do research
on the latest technologies. The internet-accessible laboratory experiments are now available that allow
students to do the required experiment when they want to.

In curriculum innovation comprises increasing use of problems and project-based learning etc.,
Industrial visits, conducting technical tech fests, internships will help students for innovative thinking and
learning process. The innovative teaching methods like PPT, Audio & Video tools, Animated
presentation, case studies, assignments, Puzzles, debugging, etc., that makes the classroom more
interesting for students as well as the teacher.

The research activities by faculty members useful for creative and innovative thinking of each
concept for demonstrating to the students in the classroom and in the laboratory. And also faculty can
assist the student to do paper presentations and journal publications.

The following innovative teaching methods are also practiced for enhancing the learning experience of the
students.

Code competition

During this semester (ODD 2019-20), we have introduced a new method of teaching called ‘Lab
Tube’ in computer-oriented laboratory course ‘AutoCAD’ for civil engineering as an experimental basis.
In this method, a dedicated computer with screen capturing software is given to faculty who teach
‘AutoCAD’ software in the laboratory. He explains the complete procedure of the experiment with mic
attached headphone on the computer. The complete explanation is captured as a video file with the help of
screen capturing software (for the duration of 15 to 30 minutes).

This pre-recorded video is stored in the laboratory server/each computer as a reference video for
the students. During the laboratory class, the students are asked to listen to the video lecture through
earphones and computer screens during their practicing time.

After the application of this method in ‘AutoCAD’, we observed the following.

Ensures the individual learning of software

Facilitate as a supporting teacher for all the students
Enhanced the learning rate significantly
Students can reuse the same video file for their continuous learning

We are planning to implement this innovative ‘Lab Tube’ method for the other computer-
oriented laboratory courses (Ansys, Solidworks) offered in the upcoming even semester for ensuring the
enhanced learning of computer packages.

6.2 Strategy Development and Deployment

6.2.1 Perspective/Strategic plan and Deployment documents are available in the institution

Response:

The institute has a strategic plan which includes getting permanent affiliation for all UG, getting NBA
accreditation, to create center of excellence, getting NAAC accreditation, strengthening the campus
facility, improving the teaching-learning process, providing Personality development program for the
students, providing Faculty Development Training, empower the mentoring system and enhance the
output in research and consultancy.

One of the strategic plans initiated by the institution is to improve academic performance through
mentoring. The mentoring system is quite evident in improving the academic performance and one of the
important ingredient towards achieving the objectives and goals of the institution. The strategic plan brings
discipline in every student and one of the platforms to realize the responsibilities they have towards the
society and nation.

Every staff is assigned a minimum of 15 students [max.22] as mentees. The mentor-mentee meeting is held
every week where each student discusses his/her performance and grievances in the respective time slot
and the mentor motivates and addresses the problem to his/her best capability.

Every student is given a mentor form which consists of personal details along with the marks they secured
in the previous semesters and the points discussed with the mentor after which mentor meets the principal
to discuss the performance of the students. Then the mentor identifies the irregular and poor performers
and informs his/her parent to meet the mentor and H.o.D. after which the student is counseled in the
presence of the parent in which course the parent also motivated to encourage their wards. Also, special
classes for poor performers are conducted regularly after every internal assessment. Hence this way every
student is responsible and accountable to both their mentor and parent and this brings a positive change
which is reflected in their academic performance.

6.2.2 Organizational structure of the institution including governing body, administrative setup, and
functions of various bodies, service rules, procedures, recruitment, promotional policies as well as

Internal Quality Assurance Cell (IQAC) started its function from June 2019. One such example is the
Academic Assessment Audit which is carried out through the Internal Quality Assurance Cell (IQAC) by
Academic Assessment Audit committee members. The objectives of IQAC are to develop a system for
consistent action to improve and sustain the academic and administrative performance of the Institution.

To assure the quality of the institute, various committees are formed under IQAC to monitor the
performance of the Institute. IQAC asses the improvements in quality under a different head. Based on the
recommendations of the IQAC, the merits & areas of improvement for each program are highlighted for
further action. Academic Audit is conducted by IQAC twice in a semester.

7.1.5 Waste Management steps including:

• Solid waste management
• Liquid waste management
• E-waste management

Response:

Waste management is the activities and actions required to manage waste from its inception to its
final disposal. This includes the collection, transport, treatment and disposal of waste, together with
monitoring and regulation of the waste management process. Bearing the social responsibility in mind
GCEM is working in the direction of waste management, in all areas like solid, liquid and e-waste.

Solid Waste Management:

Effective solid waste management is extremely important for a number of reasons. The institute

Page 86/114 11-03-2020 09:17:26

 Self Study Report of GOPALAN COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING AND MANAGEMENT

categorizes waste based on material, that pertains to the origin of the waste, whether domestic or
construction and destruction. Solid waste is managed systematically to ensure environmental best
practices. As solid waste management is a critical aspect of environmental hygiene, is incorporated
into environmental planning.

GCEM takes at most care in the waste management of solid. The solid waste is segregated as bio-
degradable and non-biodegradable in the respective bins (green and blue bins), that are kept at different
solid waste collection points.

The bio-degradable food waste collected from the canteen, hostel mess, and student's lunch is
collected in the green bins and then they are transferred to the “Three-phase RNATURA 100kg Organic
Waste converter” machine, which is fully automatic. The waste is converted to compost and they are used
as manure for the garden on the campus.

The non-biodegradable waste, that includes dry waste like papers, covers, etc., are segregated. The
BBMP (Bruhat Bangalore Mahanagara Palike) collects this waste from the college every day in their
vehicle.

Liquid Waste Management:

The campus is housed with a Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) to treat the wastewater from bathrooms,
mess, etc., and use them for watering the plants. The wastewater from all the sources is directed to the STP
through proper drainage pipes and transferred to the STP and the water is treated, where the toxins are
removed and made suitable for other usages. The treated water is used to water the plants in the garden and
in flushes in bathrooms. Primary treatment is the process of mechanically removing the solid materials
present in the water through metal screening. Secondary Treatment is the biological oxidation of organic
matter. It is achieved by filter method or by sludge process. This Tertiary Treatment method is an advanced
form of the chemical and physical process.

The most common methods in this treatment are the precipitation of suspended particles, filtration with
carbon to resolve to dissolve organic compounds and reverse osmosis by passage through a membrane to
remove dissolved organic and inorganic materials.

E-Waste Management:

Improper dismantling and processing of e-waste render it perilous to human health and our
ecosystem. Therefore, the need for proper e-waste management has been realized by GCEM. We consider
used electronics that are destined for refurbishment, reuse, resale, salvage recycling through material
recovery, or disposal as e-waste. The e-waste is collected in bins specific for the purpose; these are then
sold to junkyards dealers.

7.1.6 Rain water harvesting structures and utilization in the campus

Page 87/114 11-03-2020 09:17:26

 Self Study Report of GOPALAN COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING AND MANAGEMENT

Response:

Water is, undoubtedly, the top natural resource needed for everyone to use. Rainwater harvesting is the
process of collection of rainwater from surfaces on which rain falls, filtering it and storing it for multiple
uses.

Rainwater harvesting puts the supply of water back to normal levels. It is the collection and storage
of water from surfaces that rain has fallen upon.

Great ecological benefit of rainwater harvesting systems is that they help reduce the load placed upon
drainage systems, minimizing the impacts of flooding by funneling the runoff water into large tanks
for recycling.

Rainwater harvesting systems are cost-effective, provide high-quality water, reduce dependence on wells.
The surplus rainwater can also be used to recharge groundwater aquifer through artificial recharge
techniques

Rainwater harvest tanks are constructed to prevent soil erosion and increase the underground water level.
Rainwater harvesting technology collects, convey and store rainwater for later use from relatively clean
surfaces such as a terrace and from the flowing water in the land. The collected water from the roof is
filtered and stored for further uses.

Rainwater Harvesting is a simple technique of holding rainwater where it falls. Either, we can store it in
tanks for further use or we can use it to recharge groundwater depending upon the situation. RWH system
provides sources of soft, high-quality water that reduces dependence on well and other sources and in
many contexts are cost-effective. RWH system is economically cheaper in construction compared to other
sources, i.e. well, canal, dam, diversion, etc.

The rainwater is channelized towards bore wells to raise the groundwater level. Since the college well is
much below the road level, the water level rises in the rainy season. Water collected from the terrace by
PVC pipe outlet depends upon the area and number of pipes provided. Water is flowing through the
chamber and drainage. The drain wells are constructed for water collection & recharge of the surrounding
ground. Drain connected from all the buildings flows towards a lower level through the external drain.
Rainwater pit is filled with gravels and sand for the percolation of water for recharging the groundwater.

7.2 Best Practices

7.2.1 Describe at least two institutional best practices (as per NAAC Format)

Response:

Best practice - 1

Title of the Practice: Mentoring System for Students

Objectives:

1.To support the student’s personal and academic needs.

2.To help the students to identify their strengths and work on it.
3.To provide constructive criticism encouragement and praise when needed

The Context:

The adolescent students face different stress during the college days. It is obvious that there is an increased
level of depression, dropouts and sometimes leads to suicides also. It is highly impossible for the teacher in
the class to give personal attention to the students considering the student-teacher ratio in classrooms and
meet out there personal stress-related problems. One solution, therefore, is a ‘Mentor’ who can form the
bond with students in the true sense. Mentoring is required for students to achieve emotional stability and
6to promote clarity in thinking and decision making for overall progress.

Practice:

The mentoring system is systematically carried out in the institution. The practice is carried out as follows:

1.The first-year students are not allotted to their respective departments rather taken care of by the
Basic Science department, they are allotted to different sections where students from various

Page 96/114 11-03-2020 09:17:30

 Self Study Report of GOPALAN COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING AND MANAGEMENT

departments are present.

2.A class teacher is allotted for each section and three mentors are allotted, including the class
teacher. Each mentor is allotted a maximum of 20 students.
3.The Mentor meets the mentee once a week. The Mentoring hour is scheduled in the time table. It is
carried out for an hour.
4.The first mentoring session is where the mentor gets the personal and academic details of every
student and documents them in a prescribed format and files it up. During this session, the mentor
also gets additional information like the mentees strength, weakness, interests, dislikes, etc., to get
accustomed to his/her mentee and create a strong bond with the mentee.
5.In the forthcoming session, the Mentor meets the mentee personally during the respective slots
6.Once the students have completed the first year and move to the respective departments, the file is
transferred to the department. Mentors are assigned in the ratio 1:20, and these students are under
the same mentor until the completion of the course.

The mentor plays a vital role during the course of study of the student. The mentor discusses different
personal and academic-related issues, creates a healthy bonding; creating trust and confidence with the
mentee so that they will open out their problems. The mentor will guide, motivate, encourage the student in
times of need. They even help them make the right decisions, inculcate ethics and develop their
interpersonal skills.

The mentor also acts as a point of contact with the parent/ guardian. They inform the parents regarding the
attendance shortage, discuss the performance in exams and other related matters in a time of need.

Evidence of Success:

The evidence of success can be confirmed from the improvement in attendance and the interest they show
towards the academic-related activities after the mentoring sessions.

Problems Encountered and Resources Required:

The problems identified while implementation of the mentoring system can be listed as follows:

Students don’t open out with the mentors, as providing solutions is not always feasible.
Some students don’t have the integrity and they give false information in the mentoring sessions
The academic timings sometimes clash with the mentoring hours and sometimes priority is not
given for the same.

The resources requirements while implementation of the mentoring system can be listed as follows:

Committed faculty, who are compassionate and have the burden to help the students with a willing
heart.
Quality time to do the mentoring efficiently and effectively

Best practice - 2

Title: Induction Program for First-year students

 Self Study Report of GOPALAN COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING AND MANAGEMENT

Objectives:

1.To encourage newly joined students to get accustomed to campus life and the program.
2.To mend the all-round development of the student.
3.To bridge the gap between the pre-university and the university requirement.

The Context:

The freshly admitted students of Engineering face many challenges in adapting to the new
environment and academic schedule. To help them cope up with the needs of the curriculum, it is essential
to develop a sound mind, healthy interpersonal relationship and all-round personality development. This
helps the student accustomed to the new environment with sincere dedication. This initiative, of organizing
induction programs, addresses the need of first-year students who are away from their parents and home
town.

The Practice:

Various events were conducted to eliminate the fear factor in the first-year students and induce
self-discipline and human ethics among the students. Sessions were allotted for meditation, sports,
personality development, aptitude training, self-discipline, college trip, Movie time, etc.

The following are the events conducted for the academic year 2018 – 19 and a detailed report of the same
in enclosed.

1.Introduction to college
2.Yoga, Art of living
3.Personality development
1.Leadership qualities
2.Time Management
3.Fear & Crisis Management
4.Self-discipline, focusing on short term goals, long term goals
5.Human values (patriotism, honesty, privilege & confidence)
6.Awareness of moral & ethical values
7.Talk on general aptitude, General knowledge and general aptitude test, Quiz, and puzzles
8.Visit the sports complex and practice on sports and games
9.Solid waste management – practice and creative arts.
10.Movie Time

Evidence of Success:

The initiative taken was indeed a success, this was quite evident from the feedbacks collected from the
students after every session, and the following observations were made:

Title: Enhance learning of ‘Mathematics’ in Technical Education for first and second-year students

Objective :

Encourage students to develop a deeper understanding of higher-level mathematics concepts which

will enhance further perusal of their respective program.
Install healthy competition amongst students to outperform others.
To help the students to overcome the fear of performance in mathematics
To stamp out a mental obstruction of learning mathematics.

The Context:

In the state, the curriculum of the PU Board is flexible to omit the important concept of differentiation and
integration in mathematics for clearing the PU examinations. Based on this, input to engineering institutes
is witnessing students with a lack of mathematical concepts which trend of enrolment of students from the
first year to higher semesters. It was observed that one such reason for the decline is due to the propagation
of other courses that have limited mathematics structure in the program. GCEM has identified that in its
growing years and finds its deemed responsibility, to prepare and send many students to these higher
education institutes which would bring down the rate of dropouts after the first year of the program. We
deliver service to prepare our students with the competence to handle any numerical challenges. Primarily
a no formal approach of motivation was practiced by encouraging students through awarding them inside
the classroom. By observing the improvement of their competence to handle mathematics, the Department
of mathematics decided to appreciate the excelling students who top mathematics subjects every semester
through trophies and certification of excellence.

The practice:

Department of mathematics makes the best effort to bring the students out of the obstacles faced in
mathematics. At the very beginning of the semester, the students are informed about the incentives
provided by the department for best-performing students which inculcates a spirit of competitive attitude
amongst the students.

The students are first identified based on their mathematical ability through testing their basics by oral

Page 99/114 11-03-2020 09:17:30

 Self Study Report of GOPALAN COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING AND MANAGEMENT

tests in maths during the first few days of the course. Applications related to the topics in the field of
engineering are delivered during the course before introducing a topic. Students are also tested through
systematic analysis of their internal assessments. Professors of mathematics are very well aware of the
challenges faced by students, so the process of evaluation is very well systematic by identifying and
pinpointing the mistake made by the students during the course. Tutorials are conducted even after the
college hours as per the interest of the students. Question Bank and assignments are made available to all
the students so that every student has the same edge to compete. Learning support is provided by academic
counseling by the individual teachers and the head of the department.

Trophy and certificate are provided to students securing highest marks in each of the semesters. This would
be distributed during the inauguration day of the first years in the month of August for the results that are
declared for even semester and during Graduation day to boost the pride of the recipient students.

Evidence of Success

Increase in the number of students securing high marks.

Sometimes, the prize is shared by three students with the same highest score.
Increase in the quality of results (number of distinctions, number of first classes, etc.)

Problems encountered and Resources required

The practice was informally initiated in the year 2013. Since then the number of high scoring students has
been on the rise. The expenses are borne annually by the staff of the department of mathematics in addition
to the proceeds of GCEM management.

The students and teachers of the institution are from a diverse cultural and linguistic background as the
college is situated in Bangalore which is a Metro. Moreover, this is evident from the fact that 56% of the
teaching faculty are from other states of India.

Page 101/114 11-03-2020 09:17:30

 Self Study Report of GOPALAN COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING AND MANAGEMENT

The positive effect of diversity enables students to work with people from other cultural backgrounds
and challenges the views they are accustomed to. This leads to greater awareness of understanding and
acceptance of different beliefs and customs.

Cultural diversity enriches the educational experiences as a culturally diverse classroom and social
interactions provide students the opportunity to learn from people with different backgrounds and
upbringings, leading to increased innovation and collaboration.

Through a diverse campus, students are presented with daily opportunities to interact with people of
various backgrounds, which enables them to learn to communicate more effectively and often differently
than they are previously accustomed to.

The students not only benefit from their peers but, they also get the chance to see and experience
various leadership styles from faculty, staff, and administrators.

The real world is always diverse, thus a diverse college experience encourages students to think
globally.

Diversity in education, especially in college campuses, improves intellectual engagement, self-

motivation, cultural engagement and academic skills like critical thinking, problem-solving.
