Issues for discussion at the Brain
Storming Session:
Curriculum Innovation
:
Credit based course structure.
Modular course curriculum
Adequate coverage of Emerging Technologies
Focus on Frontal Areas of Technology
Window for future technologies
Include a course on Intellectual Property Rights
Introduce the subject of "Engineers and Society"
Pay Attention to Science base of Modern Engineering
Pay Attention to Managerial Oriented courses in
Engineering Discipline
Pay Attention to Interdisciplinary Engineering. Create
problem Solving Capabilities, do not merely confine to tutorials
based on lectures, Design Engineering, Thinking Capabilities to be
strengthened.
Pay greater attention to the weaker sections and other needy
students by organising special coaching classes under special
component plan scheme
To make Engineers Professionally Competent
- Once in two weeks interaction with Professional Engineers
/ Technologists.
- Group discussions on various issues including latest
technology, Industrial development and issues of generic
interest.
- Personality Development through short term programmes /
Workshops, twice in each semester
- Entreprenuership and self employment through Workshops
once in each semester
The ultimate objective should be to produce
Total Engineers – Bridge the Gap as far as possible between
an Engineering – graduate and a Professional
Engineer.

Synergetic Partnership with
Industries :
Effective linkages between Institutions and industries are
highly desirable;
Industries are receiving their manpower from Engineering
Institutions without direst investment / expenditure. It is
ironical that while the individuals gets the pay and perks, the
institutions from where they graduate get nothing from the
industries for the man-power they provide!
Even on the technology front the industries continue to
receive the technology they require from abroad – hence, no
concern for indigenous technology development except in areas of
strategic defense and nuclear development partnership with the
institutions in India.
The Issue at hand is how to create a synergetic
partnership between the academic institutions, R&D
organisations and the industries?

Linkages between Institutions
and Society :
Engineering and Technology Institutions contribute
both the man-power as well as the brain power for Socio-economic
development of the country. However, because of the absence of
effective linkages between the institution and the society, the
society is not directly benefited by the in-house talent in the
institutions.
Effective Linkages between the society and the
institutions could yield the following benefits:
- The society will have a greater appreciation of the
role being played by Engineering and Technology Institutions
in nations development.
- The Institutions shall have a greater awareness and
understanding of the societal needs in respect of the
technology solutions.
- This will enhance the relevance of engineering
education for meeting the social objectives.
- The linkages will help develop technology temper in our
people this will lead to better maintenance of equipment’s and
machines and energy & environment conservation.
- A synergetic partnership between academic institutions
and industries will enrich the industries in respect of technology
input when at the same time it will bring professionalism in
academic institutions.

Relevance of Technical
Education and R & D the Socio-Economic Development
:
Much of the efforts an R&D in India is considered as being
least relevant to nations need.
Research in the universities and institutions is currently
persued for career objectives while what we need is research for
technology development and developing capabilities for solving the
pressing problems of the country.
Focus on relevance of education and research required.
A consortium approach for R&D leading to technology
development will bring in relevance.
Engineering institutions should persue a greater component of
sponsored R&D to ensure professionalism and cost effectiveness
in the research program.

Networking of University of
Technology with technological institutions in the state and with
centers of excellence in India and abroad
:
Networking is highly desirable as we are in the age of sharing
information, sharing knowledge and expertise
Networking will ensure resource optimization.
Pooling of strength of various institutions becomes possible.
Better communication, faster speed of exchange of information
and ideas help in improving effectiveness of the system.
Ragiv Gandhi Proudyagiki Vishwavidyalaya proposes
to setup an advanced Information Center at its headquarters
at Bhopal. There is a proposal to setup five servers of the
university at five major cities namely Indore, Gwalior, Jabalpur,
Raipur and Bilaspur.

Establishing Centers of
Advanced Technology – Developing higher end skills
:
To setup advanced technology facilities for teaching and
research in the areas of high relevance to Madhya Pradesh.
To Setup facilities for developing higher end skills in
areas of professional importance such as:
- Composite Development Center – New Methods
- Computer Aided Design
- Computer Integrated Manufacturing
- Computer Aided Testing
- Computer Aided Diagnostics and Maintenance
- Advanced Manufacturing System – Agile Manufacturing
- Energy and Environment Management
- Advanced Information Technology Center
- IPR Facilitation Center
- Traditional Technologies and Traditional Knowledge Centers

Changing Style of management
:
The Present Management is not geared to modern methods of
management
There is no system of recognition and reward of talent
No system to infuse high motivation in the facility and staff.
Total Quality Management not yet a management approach.
