As a matter of fact, student satisfaction has never been considered as an issue of importance by educational authorities nor regarded as a matter of survival by institute. This is evident form the fact that the impact of educational services provided by a university on the satisfaction level of its students has largely been an area that remains unexplored. Throughout all these concerns to the student satisfaction level to ensure about the ignorance and students hesitation. And the barriers those are occur between the student and teacher makes the communication miss gap. Raise these main issues to realize the responsible to resolve this.

Education is a key driver of economic growth, particularly the higher education sector. With the higher education sector becoming an increasingly competitive market, university student satisfaction has become an important component of quality assurance. University student’s satisfaction is important to institutional success in that effective institutions have satisfied customers because this satisfaction supports the enrolment of additional students or customers. Ratings of student satisfaction are becoming more transparent and readily available. As a result, most universities around the world are constantly looking at how to improve the satisfaction of students at their institution.

University students' satisfaction with their institution has individual, institutional and social implications. From an institutional point of view, satisfied students are more likely to continue in their studies (retention) and are more likely to succeed academically and this is likely to enhance the financial position and reputation of the institution. Satisfied students also make effective public relations agents. High student satisfaction helps in attracting and retaining high achievers who in turn increase the reputation and standing of the university.

DISCUSSION Maintaining and improving student’s satisfaction has been considered an important goal of education and universities with the assumption that student satisfaction is indicative of institutional effectiveness. A key factor of student satisfaction is the quality of the teaching staff. As a result, the use of student rating scales as an evaluative component of their teaching system has increased. The majority, if not all, teaching staff at most universities have been required or expected to administer some type of teaching evaluation form to their students during each course offering for some time. Assessing student satisfaction provides a way that universities can focus directly on issues of quality development in order to ensure that educational standards are high. Measures of student satisfaction can also assist in identifying and implementing areas for development.

This satisfaction surveys to serve two purposes: to help administrators monitor teaching quality and to help teaching staff improve on their teaching. University student satisfaction surveys are being used today in more ways than ever before. For example, to evaluate the quality and availability of the library resources, to assess whether there is sufficient IT assistance and support for students and to consider student opinions on the social aspects of university life to name a few.

We have been assigned satisfaction surveys in universities. Teaching staff view these surveys as reliable and valid measures that bring methodical precision to the evaluation of teaching. However, not all teachers share this view. Some teachers view student’s satisfaction surveys as meaningless quantification. Teaching staff fear that students too often abuse this anonymous power to get even or get back at teaching staff and warn that satisfaction surveys may turn the evaluation of effective teaching into a personality contest.

This study measures the level of student satisfaction with current academic services offered by Mechanical Engineering Department UET Taxila. The exploration and comparison of possible differences in terms of level of satisfaction across gender and various faculty teachers formulate key objectives. General survey guided by well-structured questionnaire through students. One major construct is teaching. Mean analysis reflect student dissatisfied with faculty in classroom, facilities. Quite interestingly, no significant differences of opinion have been recorded among male or female respondents. Overall, satisfaction level is alarming low and results indicate dissatisfaction of departmental students on educational services. The debate about whether student satisfaction improves students’ academic performance or whether students¡¯ performance improves student satisfaction is an interesting and important issue. In addition, they found that self-esteem moderated the relationship between performance and satisfaction.

Individual differences in university student satisfaction may be, in part, due to individual differences in general life satisfaction. Thus, to better understand student satisfaction, it could be helpful to remove the influence of broader life satisfaction.

Underlying dimensions of student satisfaction and the factors that contribute to student satisfaction has several potential benefits and applications for institutions, students, and society.

Several studies have examined the dimensionality of university student satisfaction

Barriers to Communication in the Classroom Communication barriers in the classroom make it difficult for students to get the most out of their education. Some teachers fail to create engaging lessons and struggle to connect to their students on a one-to-one basis. Students with unaddressed language or speech difficulties often have trouble communicating with their teachers and classmates. Personality differences and peer pressure add to the mix, making some classroom interactions feel awkward or forced.

SPEECH AND LANGUAGE DIFFICULITIES Students with unaddressed learning or speech difficulties often struggle to communicate in classroom settings. Some might have trouble comprehending lessons and organizing their thoughts, and others might rely on hand gestures rather than words. Students often shut down, isolating themselves out of fear or embarrassment. This communication barrier can often be overcome by developing individual education plans for struggling students and consulting with special education teachers, parents and counselors. BORING CLASSROOM LESSONS Classroom communication breaks down when students are bored, unmotivated or disinterested in their schoolwork. Students don't need to be entertained all day, but teachers should work hard to develop engaging lessons with interesting, relevant activities. Thought-provoking assignments, technology-enhanced lectures and creative projects spur classroom communication and interaction. Outdated, routine assignments and busywork create communication barriers students don't want to interact with their teachers and just want class to be over. Teachers who put energy, enthusiasm and creativity into their lesson plans don't usually have to deal with this communication barrier.

PERSONALITY DIFFERENCES Some communication problems stem from personality differences between students and teachers. For example, students who don't want to connect on a personal level with their teachers often avoid communicating with them. This personality dynamic frustrates teachers who attempt to bond with each student, only to find their efforts unsuccessful. Students who crave closeness and acceptance often strive to be the teacher's pet. Teachers and classmates might get irritated with students who brown nose for attention. Personality differences lead to frustration, unhappiness and a lack of communication between students and teachers. Teachers must recognize and understand these personality differences and strive to find a healthy balance, without showing partiality or favoritism.

PEER PRESSURE Peer pressure creates communication problems in the classroom when students respond to teachers by acting funny, cool or disengaged. Students might refuse to build relationships with their teachers in order to maintain their not-so-interestedin-school reputations. Peer pressure can influence classrooms as early as first grade. The best way to combat communication difficulties resulting from peer pressure is to reward positive behavior.

CLASSROOM FACILITES ISSUES The Impact of Facilities Improving the quality of school facilities is an expensive undertaking. However, when the positive impacts of facility improvement on teachers and students are translated into dollar figures, the rewards of such investments far outstrip the cost of the investments. There are five primary facets of school facilities: acoustics/noise, air quality, lighting, temperature, and space. These are addressed below. Acoustics and Noise Noise levels greatly affect teacher and student performance. In fact, excessive noise causes dis-satisfaction and stress in both teachers and students. Research has found that schools that have classrooms with less external noise are positively associated with greater student engagement and achievement compared to schools with classrooms that have noisier environments. Thus, building schools that buffer external noise from classrooms can improve student outcomes. Lighting Before the advent of cheap electricity, schools often relied on natural lighting. As electric power costs declined, the amount of artificial light used in university increased. Research has shown that artificial lighting has negative impacts on those in university while natural lighting has positive impacts. In fact, research has shown that not only does classroom lighting boost the morale of teachers and students, appropriate amounts of natural lighting also reduce off-task behavior and improves test scores. One study found that students with the most exposure to natural daylight progressed 20% faster in in math and 26% faster in reading than students who were taught in environments with the least amount of natural light.

Classroom Size and Space Overcrowded classrooms—have consistently been linked to increased levels of aggression in students. Overcrowded classrooms are also associated with decreased levels of student engagement and, therefore, decreased levels of learning. Alternatively, classrooms with ample space are more conducive to providing appropriate learning environments for students and associated with increased student engagement and learning. Classroom space is particularly relevant with the current emphasis on 21st century learning such as ensuring students can work in teams, problem solve, and communicate effectively. Classrooms with adequate space to reconfigure seating arrangements facilitate the use of different teaching methods that are aligned to 21st century skills. Creating private study areas as well as smaller learning centers reduces visual and auditory interruptions and is positively related to student development and achievement.

CONCLUSION Our report is purely based on serious and real issues of UET TAXILA MED, Department Students on the basis of Academic level. In our all report we highlight the student teacher class relation also rise the classroom basic facilities to meet the level of new age.

We are try to cover all the basic areas of this topic to enhance the report that make this report more meaningful. The aim of this paper is to determine satisfaction level of the students studying in Mechanical Engineering Department. As a matter of fact, student satisfaction has never been considered as an issue of importance by educational authorities nor regarded as a matter of survival by institute.

Overall results reveal that university students express their dissatisfaction regarding teaching techniques and methods, behavior of administration & staff, at campus.
