An Engineering Curriculum to meet the Challenges of the Present Decade
Subscribe/Renew Journal
The challenges that the engineering education faces today are (1) Lack of demand forecasting of requirement of different types of engineering, say after a period of 4 years and beyond; (2) Lack of proper training in required skills for direct placement of the students and (3) The number of graduates that may be required for different industries, research labs, educational institutes etc. To meet these challenges, to some extent, we propose a curriculum through which the engineering student is trained in engineering fundamentals, broad specialization and product realization with the participation of the industries (in teaching activities) the forecasting period gets reduced to almost 2 years or less which helps in arriving at reasonable estimates of types of engineers, the number of each type of engineers. Further the curriculum enables the students to be directly employed or with minimum further training and skill up-gradation.
