AICTE launches Model Curriculum for Undergraduate Electrical Engineering
Model Curriculum will ensure hands-on training and exposure for
undergraduate electrical engineering students launched by All India
Council for Technical Education. The curriculum is up-to-date and aligns
perfectly with global standards.
The All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) has constituted a team of experts to prepare a model curriculum for UG Electrical Engineering.
This curriculum was unveiled by the Chairman, AICTE, Prof. T. G.
Sitharam, in collaboration with the Expert Committee, headed by Prof.
Prem Kumar Kalra, former Vice- Chancellor of Dayalbagh Educational
Institute.
Model Curriculum for Undergraduate Electrical Engineering
The
Model Curriculum has been specifically designed after taking inputs
from industry leaders and employers to prepare students for the
real-world challenges, enabling them to have expertise in various area
like renewable energy and AI-driven systems. The curriculum seems
promising as it combines electives like artificial intelligence and
machine learning together which ensures equipping students with
everything that would be required by them to tackle real-life
challenges. The scope of adding more electives, including minor
specialisations and micro-credit courses, makes the curriculum
inter-disciplinary in nature. This flexibility, and modern perception
towards education enhances industry relevance and boosts employability.
Vision Behind the Model Curriculum
Commenting
on the vision of this curriculum, Prof. Sitharam said, “Our vision for
this curriculum is to equip students with industry-relevant skills that
meet global standards, preparing them to thrive in an increasingly
competitive and rapidly evolving technological landscape. By emphasising
critical thinking, ethical leadership, and an entrepreneurial mindset,
this curriculum aims to develop not only competent engineers but also
leaders who can drive change in society and the industry," he stated.
The
curriculum has been formulated in such a way that it would ensure that
students are sensible towards improved electrical safety, while
fostering research and innovations in the young minds, which aligns with
the national initiatives like Atmanirbhar Bharat. The curriculum has
been focused around practical, hands-on training that would give the
students valuable industry exposure. Through field trips, trainings and internships students are being prepared for the industry. Direct link to download syllabus.
