Subscribe/Renew Journal
Technology is an ever-advancing field at par with scientific and technological innovations. Technical higher education policy always tries to adopt and implement these changes in their scheme and curriculum in line with industry requirements. The present paper briefs about the latest indications on the teaching/learning methods and technical change in academia of countries on the path of development, and its effects in the applying the enhanced employment of students in core industries. Here the tool for successful enhancing of employment in related industry over the years is discussed. Exploration of the corporate working environment with focused design orientation is addressed through specific industry guided projects. The proposed plan of industry supported (Prakalp) projects are implemented at our institution, starting from pre-final year to final year UG scheme over past three years. Key benefits observed through the implementation of the proposed scheme are enhanced employment of students in related industries, improved skill development of the students and peer learning among student fraternity through group discussions. Industry guided projects can help to reduce the technological gap between industry and academia. Teaching fraternity can communicate in progressive and meaningful way with team of students and industry mentors for the implementation of set objectives of the projects.
