An Innovative Approach to Achieve Engineering Graduate Outcomes

Abstract

In today's technology driven era, education becomes vital for developing the generation of innovators and artistic thinkers. The process of identifying problems and providing solutions constitutes research. It is very essential for engineering students to analyse and orient themselves to research thinking which could be very much useful for them in later stages. But the present engineering curriculum does not encourage research until final year. To bridge this gap, this paper proposes a new strategy to be implemented at the early stage of engineering. The idea is to help in orienting the students towards research which is an essential requirement in engineering education. This paper presents our idea - An Innovative Approach to Achieve Engineering Graduate Outcomes (IAAEGO).
