An integrated Multidisciplinary skill development strategy for effective execution from virtuality to reality in Engineering Education

Abstract

Every year thousands of aspirants complete their graduation from various institutions in different disciplines. Yet many engineering graduates are failing to find respective employment and education with respective their disciplines often they find crude employment belittling their efficiency. It is imperative to understand the gap between industry and engineering education in present scenario. As it is eventually found that there is a huge gap between engineering education and industry application in terms of learning. Engineering education follows more conventional and traditional practice on the other hand industry is more practical oriented where in emphasis on hands on skill development is primarily focused. To bring the transformation in engineering education it is prudent to address the major problems such as research methodologies, tools and techniques, Design Thinking, project planning, skill development and many more for conceiving ideas and executing the ideas into the real world. For this a multidisciplinary skill development workshop has been organized to impart basic set of skills like Carpentry, Sheet metal work, Electrical , Rapid prototyping among the engineering aspirants at the beginning of their engineering education.
