Engineering Education from an Industry Perspective Chitralekha Potnis, Ajit Potnis The Learning Institute / T I AutomotiveAbstractDevelopment of a country to a large extent depends on the progress made in science andtechnology. It has been widely accepted that industrialization is one of the major tools whichshapes national destiny. The qualitative and quantitative improvement in the industrial status of anation is strongly based on the quality of engineering education.Technical education must be suited to the development in economy, science and technology, andculture of the country and it plays a vital role in promoting their development. Due todevelopment of higher
even when it is not required.In the case of engineering education for 2020, many of the educational objectives discussedabove would need collaborating partners to realize them. For instance, offering engineeringprograms at a distance is the need of the day. Very few engineering programs are offered at adistance currently. One of the main difficulties in offering engineering programs, especiallyundergraduate programs, is the difficulty in offering hands-on experience at a distance. Whilesimulation and other technology based efforts are being tried, they are not an ideal substitute forreal-world, hands-on training. But this problem could be solved effectively by entering intocollaborative arrangements with local institutions in other countries

Addressingit will require broad societal changes with impacts that will reverberate through all engineeringdisciplines. Therefore, it is imperative that climate change and its associated impacts areintegrated into engineering curriculum so that the future workforce will be ready.In civil engineering, the impacts will present challenges to the design and maintenance of criticalinfrastructure systems that support daily life.

Although theUnited States is increasingly defined by and dependent on technology and is adopting newtechnologies at a breathtaking pace, its citizens are not equipped to make well-considereddecisions or to think critically about technology. As a society, we are not even fully aware of, orconversant with, the technologies we use every day. In short, we are not ‘technologically Page 10.856.1literate.’”1Proceedings of the 2005 American Society for Engineering Education
