Message from General Chair


Good engineering education is a key to the progress, strength and development of any nation. It is more relevant to India as we face many issues related with different domains of human life. We need different solutions who can work in the local context.Transforming Engineering Education will be the backbone of such change which will induce vibrancy, innovation and new jobs in India. For this to happen we need to work on three things. 1. Faculty 2. Faculty 3. Faculty Rest will follow automatically. Faculty needs cutting edge training in their own domain of research and teaching apart from training in the educational technology and pedagogy. We need to set up world class training centers which with modular and flexible human resources as well as infrastructure. We need to create groups of excellence in core engineering and science areas which are spread evenly in all parts of India. Accreditations and Reviews may be helpful but will only serve the partial purpose unless we create the world class human resources who are running these Engineering Institution. Administrators of these institutions are require specialized training as many of them are too naive to run these institutions professionaly with the world vision.
