Education Reform in IndiaAbstractIn this Work-In-Progress, we aim to initiate a human-centered design thinkingapproach to engineering education reform at the National Institute of Technology(NIT) Raipur, India. In using a human-centered design approach, we will developmutually collaborative solutions with, rather than only for participants, whileopening up a broader space for innovative thinking, dialogue, and reflectivepractice. Today’s global, knowledge-driven economy is giving an impetus to theengineering educators to produce more and quality engineers with a mindsettoward global innovation and an international outlook. Unfortunately, mostengineering faculty are not well prepared for this educational reform. This is alsotrue in India, a

Based on these findings, the we propose a high-level conceptual framework ofgroup development specific to the development of collaborative communities aimed to supportresearch goals within engineering education. To confirm preliminary results, we are solicitingfeedback on the proposed conceptual framework.The field of Engineering Education is a relatively new discipline that has been growing innumber of researchers and students in recent years [2, 3]. Despite the recent development ofdepartments and degree-programs, many engineering education researchers lack supportstructures to contribute to their success and are often seen as lone wolves in their departments.Moreover, a number of issues including a
