How can engineering colleges India defines their future after covid-19?

Do you know, what we would have done in the absence of the internet? All the technology tools accessed during the long and continuing Covid-19 lockdown. Considering this fact, the basic working of engineering colleges India has changed considerably ever since the advent of COVID-19. Some have switched over to the old-fashioned method of education through correspondence, wherein the majority of the interaction takes place through written email.

Engineering Colleges in Jaipur have tried to create a new setting that is mostly online such as ZOOM. Some colleges are still in between and teaching students through online tutoring and practice programs, along with posting videos. Similarly, few are still trying to get things back to normal and start with the traditional methods of teaching.

There may be changes in the attendance pattern both for the students and the teaching staff. The regular classes are not organized and there will be no sporting activities or cultural activities. With this, things will look much different to what students of BTech Colleges Rajasthan had been seeing up till now. Since the mobility of the students will be highly restricted, going from one place to another will involve a lot of planning associated with the safety. A large gathering of students will be prohibited at all costs, specifically gathering in auditoriums or at other places.

Grand challenge approach

The pillars of this engineering re-imagination are different. Engineering education has to incorporate within itself a strong element of ‘Grand Challenge’ problem-solving. Engineers of best engineering colleges in Rajasthan have to work to find solutions to “big problems” of the world, like climate change, agriculture, health, education and so on. This will bring in more innovation in engineering education and create jobs for our graduates, as some of the best opportunities for innovation.

If engineering education at top btech colleges Jaipur has to fundamentally re-invent itself, then students need to be trained early to take on big challenges. One innovation in engineering education encourage different modules around a specific big problem with teams of students taking on projects to build solutions to a specific problem.

Such an education will also be inter-disciplinary. The ‘big problem-solving mind-set’ also pays rich dividends in a country like India. Where solutions to some of the biggest challenges lie in technology. A simple problem like ‘tap water for all’ is an engineering challenge that has the potential to pay both social and economic dividends.

Additionally, the higher education in today’s age cannot operate in a disciplinary archive. A degree in any discipline, at least at the undergraduate level, like BTech has to be broad-based. Engineering education will also require to be broader, with no absolute boundaries.

Integrating disciplines

If engineering has to solve problems and provide solutions, then it is significant for the students of top BTech colleges to understand that such solutions require an interplay of different disciplines. For instance, drone technology combines elements of computer science, electronics and mechanical engineering. Engineering disciplines have to collapse to reflect this current reality. Also, new engineering degrees may have to do away with traditional branches of Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering or Civil Engineering. The way we know them and be reimagined to reflect more contemporary applications.

Engineering is the application of scientific principles to solve problems. Engineering education has to evolve to reflect contemporary problems. In some way or the other, Computer science is becoming fundamental to most disciplines. Engineering disciplines have to adapt to this new reality. It has integrated more with pure sciences and better with humanities and social sciences too.

The current approach is to separate engineering and science education and to offer some courses in social sciences to provide a “humanities” breadth to engineering graduates of Best Engineering Colleges Rajasthan. The ideal scenario has to be much more than this. It will require the creation of new courses. That fundamentally integrate an understanding of society with elements of science and technology.

Entrepreneurial mindset ?????
