ABSTRACT
The COVID19 pandemic has disturbed the daily lives of people, including those in the education sector. It has tested the readiness of Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) and put in question the adaptability of students and faculty in using online teaching-learning modalities. This paper describes the development of an online engineering education in the department of Electronics and Telecommunication Engineering of Rajarambapu Institute of Technology, Islampur. The authors sampled 211 engineering students and 16 faculty members from the department of Electronics and Telecommunication Engineering using online survey forms. The author highlighted the requirements of online teaching-learning, the implementation methodology, online platforms, sample ICT tools and active learning tools used for the delivery of contents and conducting examinations. From the feedback of students and faculties members, it was found out that availability of resources, institute support, skill development and engagement have significant contribution to the adaptability of faculties and students to online teaching-learning. The pandemic situation has enhanced the adaptability of online teaching-learning during the COVID19 pandemic and also students and faculties are ready if any other similar man-made or natural disruptions occur. © 2022, Rajarambapu Institute Of Technology.
