The traditional teaching methods are not gaining much attention towards teaching young engineers. Hence, to fulfill the gaps laid by the traditional teaching approach almost every engineering faculty and institutions adopting various interactive teaching and learning methods. The tutorial based teaching is one among them and widely used one. The tutorial is a class which has student strength of 20 to 30 only, where the tutor can give individual attention to every student to improve their learning and problem solving skills.
