Educating Future Mechanical Engineers: Brainstorming Workshop
July 10, 2021, 09:00 - 13:00 on Virtual Platform
Demography, economy, industry, technology and other factors are
creating a paradigm shift in the nature of work, workplace, and
workforce. There is a need to envision the role of future
mechanical engineers in the society, and how to train the next
generation of such engineers. The Indian Institute of Science,
Bengaluru, in collaboration with the All India Council for
Technical Education (AICTE) and Indian National Academy of
Engineering (INAE) is pleased to host this brainstorming
workshop to deliberate on the relevant issues.
Discussion points
Mechanical engineering temper (knowledge, skillset
and mindset) to be inculcated in students
How mechanical engineering discipline ought to be taught in India in the next decade
UG curriculum suitable for industry career‐focused and academic/research‐focused institutions
Suitable ways to use technology in the pedagogy for mechanical engineering
Coordinators
Prof. G. K. Ananthasuresh, Chair, Mechanical Engineering, IISc
Prof. Aloke Kumar, Mechanical Engineering, IISc
Prof. Navaneetha K. Ravichandran, IISc
