Establishment of several National Institutions of Technical Teachers’ Training andResearch (NITTTRs) has paved the way for quality improvement of technical education atdiploma/polytechnic level. The general consensus is that they have provided good results.However, there is a lack of well-structured FDP for engineering and technology education inIndia. In the higher engineering and technology education sector, the idea of the FDP remainedneglected possibly due to twin perceptions: (i) a philosophical belief that this activity belongs tosocial scientists and is less

This structured approach enables students to build confidence, refine theirskills, and develop the flexibility necessary for adaptive expertise.The need for adaptive expertise is further underscored by the evolving goals of engineeringeducation. The Engineer of 2020 report by the National Academy of Engineering [5] envisionsfuture engineers as agile learners who can quickly adapt to emerging technologies and newproblem domains. Similarly, ABET criteria [8] emphasize outcomes such as life-long learningand the ability to address open-ended problems in interdisciplinary

year VIT University had over 88,000 applications for itsBachelor of Technology Programs, but could accept only 2,234 students due to facility and staffcapacity limitations. The total number of new students for 2007-2008 in all undergraduate andgraduate programs was more than 4,400 and the total university enrollment exceeds 12,000students.Introduction The two main ingredients for new universities emerging as leaders have been acommitment of leadership and a commitment to quality. One author has observed two start-upuniversities which have achieved outstanding success and they are Aalborg University (AAU),which was started in 1974 in Denmark and VIT University which was started in 1984 in Vellore,India.

The use ofnursing theory to improve the teaching of engineering practice previously is described in theliterature [20] and includes such relevant examples as improving access to clean drinking waterand safe food [21][22], improving access to mobile technology [23], and improving access tofinancial security in the face of a changing climate [24]. Educators of nursing and educators ofengineering have much to gain from collaboration [25], including the emergence of newparadigms from the efforts of convergence research [26].In particular, it is

But engineeringprojects and practical activities are becoming increasingly complex. Engineers who act as theclosely related community of responsibility are faced with difficulties in coordinating conflictsof interest and making ethical decisions in engineering practice. Universities of Science andTechnology play the pivotal role of cultivating innovative engineering talents and shoulder themission of innovating China's engineering ethics education, unleashing the value of engineers.Since the 1970s, engineering ethics education has emerged in developed countries abroad andhas been officially

Phishing Threat OverviewPhishing is a deceptive cybercrime where attackers impersonate trusted entities to trick individuals intorevealing sensitive information like passwords or financial details [7]. Initially emerging in the 1990s asemail scams, phishing has evolved into a persistent cybersecurity threat across multiple digital platforms.Attackers increasingly exploit real-time messaging services like WhatsApp, where rapid interactions makeit difficult for users to verify message authenticity. Phishing attacks take various forms, including emailphishing[26], SMS-based "smishing," and
