Abstract :The main focus of this case study is developing academic performance and sustainable improvement of academic knowledge. Most Engineering students get depressed when they can not understand the topics and fail to cut a good figure in the semester final exam. It is an alarming reason why their Cumulative Grade Point Avarage become poor. About 80-90% of engineering students in Bangladesh blame the curriculum and system but it is not easy to change the system rapidly. The irony of fact is that memorizing books is the most effective way for good academic performance in Bangladesh. The Engineering Education Curriculum is mainly memorizing based. Students have to learn a lot of theory and write them for the exam as given in reference books to get good marks. This system makes students bookish and discourages them from creativity and innovation. The evaluation system in this educational system only represents how much a student spends time for academic studies not the creativity, intelligence, passion and dedication etc. This makes frustrated who are involved in innovative projects, research or contests. Without creativity and innovation, it is not possible to advance the science and technology which is the main purpose of Engineering. A way or method is required to improve performance and result in the existing condition. In this research, a structured method has been developed to achieve a satisfactory academic result besides other innovative activities.
