To strengthen our programs, curriculum and delivery strategies, we have constituted an Industrial Advisory Board (IAB) for Industrial & Production Engineering Department comprising of representatives from various industries thereby generating a mechanism for providing precious and valuable inputs to our department.
IAB is intended to help to initiate close interaction between the institute and the industry and is serving as the platform for showcasing best practices, latest technological advancements and their implementation. Through IAB, we expect to improve the quality of technical education adequately and meet the needs of the industry and academia based on cross-fertilization of ideas for systems improvement.
This Industrial Advisory Board will serve following objectives:
- bridge gap between Industry & Academia strengthening the ties,
- more intense and effective implementation of interaction channels like industrial visits, faculty and student internships, industry projects, training and consultancies,
- offering more and more industry relevant courses through curriculum,
- the pursuit of new broad research agendas (e.g. through the creation of research centers and strategies for technology development),
- fostering entrepreneurship by facilitating expertise,
