Empirical StudyIntroductionIndian engineering education system is one of the colossal educational systems. As per the AllIndia Council of Technical Education (AICTE) report of 2012-13, it has 3,384 colleges admitting1.63 Million students1. The system has almost no attrition and is graduating more or less theentire intake. The study of Blom and Saeki2 shows that 64% of employers are only somewhatsatisfied or worse with the current engineering graduate skills. Earlier, NASSCOM andMcKinsey report (2005)3 had found that 75% of engineering graduates are not employable bymultinational companies. A recent report by Aspiring Mind found that there is a drop inemployability in all roles and at all locations. It has noted that the decrease in employability

In practice, it is important to properly prepare students’ minds regarding thesespecial arrangements.Since the participating students were all first-year engineering students, the instructor alsoattempted to evaluate whether and to what extent their skills meet the various requirementsand constraints of a globally distributed team. The evaluation was conducted based on theinstructor’s subjective observations, against the benchmark of the third-year engineeringstudents in another global course [9]. Firstly, most of the students had demonstrated strongcommunication skills. In particular, since there is no

As is right now, Tenaris already hires several students of theLook College. However, due to the lack of presence or awareness of this company in the mind ofstudents, some of the best students choose to go to other companies when selecting theirinternship and employment place.

This was in part a response to the papers nominated for the BestDiversity Paper award. The Diversity Committee maintains a position of supporting a broaddefinition of diversity and recognized a need to provide a space for papers on diversity-relatedtopics that were not the historical focus of other divisions within the organization. That year,twenty-two papers were accepted for presentation at the annual conference; this was above andbeyond the papers submitted to the Minorities in Engineering Division (MIND), the Women inEngineering Division

Privatize portions of the College- if at all feasible- to eliminate red tape, reduce waste, and allow industrial partners to make more effective use of college resources. Contracting or transaction costs are often a major barrier to cooperation between different parties, and many university-industrial activities run aground on the shoals of intellectual property rights. In efforts that are educational in nature it would do the universities well to remember that industries are the sine qua non of real engineering activities (34) .Be broad minded and think long range.In this vein, the major engineering problems

It also provided the students with a systematic way to creatively combinetheory and applications to solve practical problems.By integrating the American teaching style, a student-centered environment was created and itprovided a positive atmosphere to enhance student learning.

The studentsmentioned that their peer group was almost entirely based on knowing others from PreF orPathways Fellows. They felt they had experienced much together socially and that they felt theywould always have someone to go to talk about academic struggles. The trip taken by the groupto Peru, discussed more below, also played an important factor in the retention of some of thestudents as engineers, because it shed light on the way engineers can positively affect acommunity in need.Academically, the PreF program hosted at Penn State the summer before the students’ freshmanyear had the most significant impact on them.

studentsfeel intrinsically motivated to behave in proactive, open minded and collaborative manner, theexpected level of effort is high, and the expected level of persistence to arrive at an acceptablefinal design is high as well. Motivation of students needs to be across the curriculum [Sheppardet al, 2010], and it is important to consider how to best support early year engineering students’motivation and self-regulating learning [Nelson et al, 2015], due to the fact that in these years iswhen students are more likely to drop out [Gainen, 1995].There are many studies regarding the variety of factors, internal and external, that might affectmotivation in an individual.
