Dean’s message

Dr Smriti Verma

The International Relations Office of YCCE has a legacy of over one and a half decades. YCCE has been making positive efforts towards establishing and building relationships across the globe to benefit the faculty members and students of the institution. IRO operates on a three-pronged program, the first being promoting quality research on international platforms. Student fraternity in the present era requires much-needed exposure to the global scenario. Under the second program agenda, IRO exposes students to international opportunities available for higher studies, internships, placements, research, and cultural experiences. The third program agenda of IRO is to establish institutional collaborations for overall organizational growth and development and position YCCE on the global education platform. We aim to generate groomed learners through our carefully designed unique techniques which are poised to enrich their technical and managerial knowledge, skills, and attitude to make them globally competent in terms of employment and entrepreneurship.

International Faculty Development Program organized at YCCE: A step towards internationalization

Recently, the International Relations Office (IRO) at YeshwantraoChavan College of Engineering, Nagpur, organized an IETE-approved one-week international faculty development program (FDP), titled, “21st Century: Recent trends, challenges and future roadmap for transitions in technological generations”. The FDP was successfully conducted with huge takeaways, as informed by Dr. ShubhangiRathkanthiwar, Dean, International Relations, YCCE, and Convener of this FDP.

According to Dr. Rathkanthiwar, the IRO has been striving toward bolstering the innovation ecosystem at YCCE from a global perspective. The FDP engaged presentations on the aforementioned theme from prominent intellectuals, academicians, and industry experts from around the world such as the USA, Austria, Australia, Botswana, Bangladesh, Kuwait, and India. The FDP was designed to serve as a common platform for fostering cogent interaction and networking between Indian faculty members and prominent international speakers. Solving the 21st-century challenges necessitates the development of cutting-edge technologies involving various disciplines of engineering and science. The FDP aimed to provide attendees from diverse disciplines with broad perspectives and a vision for enhancing their research and development activities.

The FDP was graced with eminent stalwarts around the world who presented state-of-the-art and future roadmaps for transitions in technological generations in various disciplines. The list of speakers included Dr. Krishna Vedula, the executive director, Indo-Universal Collaboration for Engineering Education (IUCEE), and an emeritus professor at the University of Massachusetts, Lowell, USA, Dr. James Conrad, a professor at the University of North Carolina, Charlotte USA, Dr. AviralShrivastava from Arizona State University, USA, Dr. DigbijoyNath from Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore, Er.
