value.Shallow forward inferencing was credited to the student if the student selected a  Forces or Moment equation that could immediately yield a value for a variable in the problem (the firstcriterion above) but one or more of the other criteria was lacking.The following predictions were made for this study:  IIT-KGP students would show relatively strong evidence of deep forward inferencing  deep forward inferencing is a sufficient, but not necessary, marker of problem solving ability  deep forward inferencing would be associated with high ability, as reflected in cumulative grade-point averages (GPA).The reasoning for these predictions is as follows. The first prediction was made because thestringent admission standards

Increasingly, debates around quality and adherence todifferent development goals, economies, and technology widely-accepted standards serve to create a consensus aroundenvironments all lead to and indicate different purposes for how much theory and how much practice is needed in theeducation. Some nations built their engineering training engineering curriculum.

the instructor well. One-third said it was more difficult than expected. Studentsliked the communication in the classroom highlighting the introductions, the relaxed and activeatmosphere, and interaction between teacher and students. About half the class cited Englishlanguage problems as a challenge. Some students admitted that they had forgotten some materialfrom the previous circuits class so had trouble with the in-class problems. Reflections from theinstructor, assistant instructors and administrators showed that the teaching method wasappealing to the students and that the students were able to actively participate in the activelearning activities.IntroductionActive learning is well established as an effective pedagogy in many parts of

Universities, Industries and the Government and can expedite the collaboration processes. Project competitions and Conferences and Seminars can facilitate this overcoming of limitations of Formal Education.3.0 Conclusion: Transformation of an Engineering Student to a Global Engineer is much needed to reflect the challenges and opportunities of the unprecedented changes World-Wide. The constraints and barriers that Engineering Education operates in should not be allowed to reduce the pace of this transformation. Professional Societies, through International Collaborations can become key enablers in embedding this dimension at all levels of Engineering education.References : 1. Profile of
