Follow up of the tracer study Dr.V.Thanikachalam
Report card on education Universities are increasingly judged by their peers and students and clientele of their communication of their commitments action to internationalize By numerous measures Indian higher education has FAILED to meet the challenges and opportunities of globalization
Catalysis for change Strong economical development of China Possible loss of global jobs by Indians The rapid rise of middle class who demands Reconfiguration of global economy Reshaping of global agreements (GATT and WTO) Development of modern and effective private university system global partners Expansion of learning and diversification of research base
GLOBAL CONTEXT EXPERTISE IN INTERDISCIPIINARY AREAS READY TO DEVELOP PRODUCTS IN EMERGING TECHNOLOGY SUPPLY OF HUMAN CAPITAL TO GLOBAL INDUSTRIES DEVELOPING RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMMES AND PROTOTYPE UNDER GLOBAL INDUSTRIES PARTNERSHIP NETWORKING WITH GLOBAL INSTITUTIONS
Global Context ‌ Worldwide spread of research capacity Global scholarship programmes Rapid diffusion of technology Opportunities for intellectual exchange Best universities in all fields internationalize access and interactions across borders
GLOBALIZATION LOOK AT THE WHOLE WORLD AS BEING NATIONLESS AND BORDERLESS TECHNOLY,TECHNICAL SERVICES AND HUMAN RESOURCES ARE MOVING FREELY DEVELOP YOUR PROGRAMMES TO MEET THE GLOBAL NEEDS AND STANDARDS
National interests and national security Internationalizing higher education serves both national security and economic competitiveness goals Knowledge and skill deficits will pull down the GDP Leading edge research and development will enable the country to build collaboration among the best researches in the world

Strategic planning of the departments Develop leadership Encourage perspective plans Develop strategic plans Review the plans once a year Update the plans by overcoming the bottle necks,barriers and constraints
Why do we internationalize Indian technical education? The case to internationalize technical education is unimpeachable. National borders are increasingly porous. Easier world-wide communications, travel, migration, and global needs for competent engineers,technologists,managers and scientists Opportunities in cross border services under GATS
The needs of the students Visible impact at the local level of a worldwide economy International mobility of capital, jobs, labour, Current technology to succeed market competition in the global level Complexity of world technology problems demand a wide array of problem-defining and – solving perspectives that cross disciplinary and cultural boundaries
Impacts of global system Continuous improvement in instructional and research paradigms Should enable the students to meet the global challenges Should become competent in the world market place Competent institution to engage in global problem solving
Planning to reach global engineering excellence Understanding the global competitiveness and the role of information technology Implementing Global standards in science,engineering,management,and technology programmes Planning for technology development and transfer to the global industries
Possible vision Technological research university of the 21st century Transition from an industrial economy to an information economy Prepare students to use their innovative problem solving skills and strong work ethics Planning for multiple intellectual pursuits in an interdisciplinary fashion Prepare for lifelong learning,leadership and outstanding service to the society
Global engineering excellence institute Technological innovation is a key driving force in every national economy worldwide To steal a march on its core competitors, Indian economy needs innovative research and development projects Develop and train next generation of engineers,technologists,managers,and scientists
Just in time learning Use combination of faculty and other assets Develop project based teams Introduce P.P.B.S and zero based budgeting Introduce value analysis in planning infrastructure Innovate through cross -disciplinary project teams
Possible inputs to design focused outcomes Competitiveness of Indian engineering education Career paths of graduates in information technology driven occupations Needs for incorporating global standards Anticipating the future trends in the role of technical education in Indian economy Interchange of knowledge between universities and industries
The path to global excellence Tracer study will provide the needed path Focus on the competent human resource Demand technology leadership Indicate possible innovation Uncover fundamental facts about the world of engineering education,and career paths Global job potential for outstanding graduates
Possible impact Indian companies could compete successfully in this global environment They could rely on technical institutions Indian universities could educate the next generation of scientists,engineers,managers and entrepreneurs who can benefit from global economy Institutional transformation in knowledge production and human capital development
Global citizenship WB, WTO, ADB, UNDP, UNESCO, APEID , DANIDA, SIDA, CIDA… HAVE BROUGHT CHANGES IN POLICY PLANNING IN TECHNICAL EDUCATION INDIAN ENGINEERS NEED TO BE AWARE OF THE GLOBAL CHALLENGES
You are the best planner, hence practice
