About
Sourav Jena is a dedicated engineering educator whose research focuses on transforming technical education through project-based learning (PBL) and Industry 4.0 integration, particularly in resource-constrained environments. His work addresses critical challenges in hands-on skill development, especially during the global pandemic when traditional laboratory access was disrupted. Jena’s most cited paper, "PBL Approach in Online Robotics Competition in Resource-Poor Environments: Maze Solver Robot" (2021, 4 citations), explores how the e-Yantra initiative at IIT Bombay leverages competitive robotics to teach complex engineering concepts to students from polytechnic and science colleges. His second highly cited work, "Integrating Industry 4.0 in Engineering Education during a Global Pandemic: Approach and Learning Efficacy" (2022, 4 citations), demonstrates effective strategies for teaching modern engineering skills remotely. Though his citation counts are modest, Jena’s contributions are significant for their practical impact on pedagogy in developing regions. His research provides a replicable framework for educators worldwide seeking to maintain quality technical training despite infrastructure limitations, making him a valuable voice in the conversation about equitable, future-ready engineering education.
