Equip the engineering graduates with robust fundamentals as well as applying the same to Industrial processes. This can be acheived by proper development practical curriculam at the college as well as well equipbed laboartory with proper guidance for explaining the importance of the experiments in their future endevaors
I agree with Subba Rao. But the present education system does not have much scope for this. Ofcourse, when compared to 10 years back, it has improved. But it is not sufficient.
We should have tie up with local industries, lecture from industry experts can be arranged, compulsory industrial training should be given, separate training cell with paid officer should be established, regular industry visits should be incorporated in the syllabus itself with examination ( marks).
Do we need so many engineers doing this kind of stuff? When we are able to design a complete car with 2 man years effort, and design software with icons and directories, should we not rethink the number of engineers that are required?
Yes. The quality and quantity of engineers graduates is not satisfactory. The quality is coming down and the quantity is alarming. The number of employable engineering graduates is declining year by year. This is a serious concern.
We are introducing out come based curriculum for our new engineering faculty to solve all these problems
I totally agree with Prof. Sivakumar. The new outcome based education sure will address this issue to some extent.
There is Professional Doctorate Program at TU Delft which prepares students for the specific industrial needs. Industry are participating in this specific skill development processes as well.
Here is the link of the program at TU Delft.

May be you can tailor a program also in similar fashion in India. My experience during my studies at Jaipur was we need more collaboration between industries and academia in India.
Thank you Dr. Binodji, This is order of the day. All Indian universities must think and implement this in war footing. In fact TEQIP is the best funding agency for this.
