who spend about two years to get employed. The question being asked by the
industry is for whom the colleges are training the students during their education
period and why the industry has to spend a lot of time and money for training the
graduates to make them capable to take up responsible tasks.
are to be taught are incorporated in the curriculum. These aspects should be considered
both for theory, practicals, projects, seminars etc.
In general, there is hesitation on the part of the Universities / Institutions to introduce a new
subject in the curriculum, though required in the current scenario of the industry, because of
the lack of expertise on the part of the faculty available to teach the new subjects. The
Technical institutions must not take this line as there is always a possibility of organizing
training programs to their faculty with the help taken from the industry and also higher
institutes of technology. Thus the curriculum revision must be a continuous process which
has to be considered by the Consultative Committee and other Sub-committees formed for
taking care of each discipline of engineering / technology.
2) Teaching Learning Process
Effectiveness in teaching and ensuring the learning to take place are two essential aspects
which need consideration. There is no meaning for teaching if the learning does not take
place. The capabilities required for teachers to ensure the skills required for students in
various practical aspects
must
programs and industrial exposure. Besides this, there are different methodologies for
ensuring effectiveness in teaching and learning. Audio visual aids are to be used so that
multiple senses available in the student can be made use of. The ability of the students with
regard to pracatical application of the theory learnt must be ensured so that he can perform
the tasks on his own confidently.
Exposure to industry is essential for all the faculty so that what they are teaching can be
made practice oriented and students will get benefited and they will appreciate the faculty.
Unfortunately there is a great divergence between what student is taught and what is the
industrial practice. Teachers must undergo practical training in the relevant areas so that
their teaching will then become effective and the students will become competent to take up
responsible positions in the industry after graduation.
In these days there is a large number of engineering colleges in the country. In Telangana
alone the intake into the existing professional colleges is of the order of 2,00,000 students
per year. It is impossible for all the industries put together to provide training facilities for
about 6,00,000 engineering and other professional colleges students in Telangana. In fact
some industries are not willing to give practical training to students. They wish to give
training to faculty so that generations of students will have the benefit of practical orientation
in
their education offered by trained teachers. . There is a need for the proposed
Consultative Committee to look into this aspect so that the facilities can be given for faculty
training for different branches of engineering. The number of teachers required to be trained
in a certain subject area can be assessed and their training needs are determined so that
they can be sent for practical training in a phased manner.
Similar activity has to be done for Supervisory cadre and
some practical
aspects of the equipments and infrastructure and how the manufacturing processes are
taking place..
The expertise available in the industry can be invited for giving special lectures and to get
associated with
internships wherever possible may also be provided by the industry to students and this will
also help the students to enter the world of work from the world of study in a seemless
manner after their graduation. There is some sort of hesitation on the part of the industry to
give such facility to
industrial visits leave alone, the internships to the students. This gap between what is
required to be done by the industry and what is being done now must be removed. In fact,
the industries blame that the technical graduates are half-baked products and are not
employable. At the same time, they say that they are unable to get competent graduates for
filling up the various vacancies in their organizations. The industry and the institutions must
think about this and they must treat student raining as a joint responsibility. Only then this
blame game can be stopped.
5)Collaborative activities in R & D and Consultancy:
Govt. of India have chosen a number of Engineering Colleges in Telangana for their further
improvement under Technical Education Quality Improvement Programme (TEQIP) with
World Bank assistance.
The fact that the some technical institutions in Telangana are chosen by the assessment,
made by the Steering Committees at the State level and National level to be beneficiaries
under TEQIP scheme, shows that there is some expertise available in each of the TEQIP
institutions. Great emphasis is being given for R&D and consultancy in the TEQIP Phase II.
In the light of this, efforts are to be made to collect information about the competent
professors who are available in various TEQIP and other
collaboration can take place for solving certain problems faced by the industries.
It is also possible to have a couple of institutions to come together so that the combined
strengths of various institutions in a particular specialized area can be very useful in solving
some complicated problems. In the light of this, the Consultative Committee may identify the
strengths of the faculty and infrastructure in different branches of engineering in various
institutions so that the pool of competent professors can be identified. This can be passed
on to the industries for their consideration to identify the groups of teachers who can be
approached for solving their specific
research and also will promote the consultancy activity of the institutions and this will greatly
improve the health of industry and also that of institutions.
Concluding remarks:
i)
the State of Telangana as there are large number of colleges established in the State
largely due to the participation of private un-aided educational societies and trusts.
Now there is great need for improvement in the quality of professional education to
compare with that in institutions of higher learning in India and elsewhere. . A
consultative committee will have to be constituted to
professional education in Telangana and to take all the steps needed for such an
improvement. A number of sub-committees have to be constituted branch-wise so
that the gap between the skills and capabilities developed in the students in various
specializations
possible.
ii)
consultative
ensured and
nurtured.
iv)
The main criticism is that the Indian Professional Graduates only know theory
but they are not aware of the applications. This situation has to be changed with
initiative from the Government of Telangana and concerted efforts of all stakeholders i.e. Professional institutions, Industry and R&D Organizations.
