Teaching-Learning Methodology
Topics are taught using interactive lectures, real-device demonstrations, and examples directly from farming and biotechnology laboratories.
Simple numericals on motor power, transformer sizing, and energy billing are the focus of tutorials. Short videos on solar pumps, electric tractors, and smart greenhouse systems are used to connect theory to practice.
