In
the competitive industrial environment, with the advent of globalisation
of economy, industries, government departments, R&D organisations
etc need highly educated, trained and specialised engineers &
technologists to cope up with the challenges to be faced in the
coming millennium. In order to bridge the gap between the requirement
and the availability of highly specialised and trained manpower
in the emerging areas of technology, the engineers require updating
their knowledge and competence, at regular intervals, to learn
new technologies.
The Nayudamma Committee (1978-80) recommended for promoting and
strengthening postgraduate education in the country with observation
that "it is necessary to recognise publicly & publicise
widely that, in today's world, postgraduate studies are normal
part of basic engineering education". But in the vast country,
like India, the benefit of higher education is out of reach to
a large number of engineers and universities have limitations
to enlarge the existing facilities to undertake massive up gradation
programmes due to financial and other constraints. Industries
and government departments are also unable to encourage engineers
for higher studies on the apprehension of likely disturbance in
their normal work schedule.
IEI is deeply concerned with the growing obsolescence of knowledge
among its members and their desire to upgrade their competence
and technical skills in the areas of their activities. IEI has,
therefore, embarked on offering postgraduate programmes in selected
disciplines to enable its members to benefit from new technologies
being introduced.
This programme is being hosted in collaboration with different
university level institutions.
