Are we world-class ?
75 percent engineering students in India are unemployable
NASSCOM

14.97% of IT specialization students can write a simple program,
while 70% of them show theoretical understanding

A mechanical engineer may actually not know how to change a
part of a machine Sahasrabudhu said during a panel discussion at
the sixth Higher Education Summit

Incompetent faculty rendering engineering graduates
unemployable-The Indian Express

LACUNA
Outdated learning - Not staying in touch with the industry could be one
reason why engineering students are not relevant to todays industry.

Theory vs Practice - The current education system poses a chasm between
theory and practice. Very little of what is learnt at college can be put into
practice in everyday life.

Exam culture - Students lay emphasis on only the exam and not on learning
the subject. This results in weak fundamentals, and hence, industry
irrelevance.

Lack of exposure - The amount of exposure given to students about the
industry is also very little.

Bad career matching - Weather or not the student has the aptitude for the
stream is not taken into account, resulting in uninterested engineering
candidates, who havent taken to their subjects as much as they should have,
making them irrelevant to the industry.

What is need to be done ?
Rigorous practical hands on skill oriented
training.
Internship for longer period with industry with
machine, design, creative technical work.
Teaching-learning process- less spoon feeding
and more through self learning and participation
learning & problem solving
Assessment evaluation- Problem solving and not
asking theory question

Engineering colleges faculties to do
consultancy and involve students to work on
those real life projects.
Industry and education institution
collaboration.
Getting curriculum updated with industry
specific demands
Improve the skill by imparting skill on core
competencies skill
Engineering Colleges to do more research and
publish in international and national journals,
exploitable patents and innovative products.
The Path to Becoming a World-Class Engineer
begins with undergraduate study and requires a commitment to
lifelong learning and professional development.

World-Class Engineers are:
SOLIDLY GROUNDED-In fundamentals of their discipline
and are committed to lifelong learning.
TECHNICALLY BROAD-Conversant in multiple technical
disciplines. They design solutions that span business functions
such as finance, marketing, legal, and manufacturing.
GLOBALLY ENGAGED-Understand the worldwide nature
of their profession and are sensitive to the speed required to
keep pace in geographically and culturally diverse
environments.
ETHICAL-Uphold the highest ethical standards,readily
identify, and carefully address, ethical issues that arise in their
professional lives.

INNOVATIVE-Develop precise definitions of complex
problems and formulate sustainable solutions by thinking
creatively across technical, business, social, and environmental
dimensions.

EXCELLENT COLLABORATORS-Seek optimal outcomes
through collaboration and honor intellectual property rights of
all partners. They work effectively within co-located and
geographically dispersed teams.

VISIONARY LEADERS-Courageous, customer-oriented
leaders who develop visions that deliver successful results.
