Recently, I've had the
opportunity to have an inclusive, interactive, and enlightening conversation about universities that student target. Names of the most prominent universities across the world were put forth, and so was their ideologies and philosophy about education.
'Who built these buildings in which we are safely discussing about the future of the world?'
'The Builders!' answered the murmuring students from the middle to the end rows.
'What is the idea behind the technology that amplifies the voice that made my low whisper reach the last person cribbing about the education system?' I asked.
'The microphone,' answered a front row student, 'amplifying the voice over the stranger.'
'And what about the bodies that you proudly carry around for the strength it
reflects?' I asked a few well-built students sitting in the middle rows, blocking the view of a few girls sitting behind them.
'The protein powders?' guessed one of the boys in the row after a couple of seconds of hesitation.
Taking this conversation forward, I addressed them, 'With all the prominent universities in sight, who do you think have built the genesis of all the answers?' I asked. Without waiting for an answer, I continued, 'these were not geniuses who studied at some of the best universities in the world. They were passionate people who specialised in one thing, which allowed them the future (US) witness their greatness.'
'But today, they have set the benchmark very high for someone like the youth to follow and studying them is extremely important.' I added. 'Education and technology are separate entities, but if studied, can create wonders and this infrastructure with the carvings on the walls, the able voice modular and supplements that have given you these incredible bodies is the proof!' I further
added addressing the gym freaks in the front row.
While this mini monologue left the entire hall and the group of students in awe of technology and education, I ended my talk by saying, 'And that is the reason you should study Technology.'
But the inspiration for this edition— The Best Innovative Tech University of India, 2022 —came in the form of a question from a cornered student with glasses, a dangling posture and a wiser attitude toward learning.
'As an editor of an education magazine, which university would you suggest us to be admitted to?' he asked.
And I was speechless, leaving the hall to its constant murmur, I decided to give them the university of their choice.
So let this edition help you find the best innovative tech university for engineering in this modern world and have a happy read.

Industries and corporates are looking for young minds who can cater to the industrial demand, and people need to be skilled in modern technological tools, as it helps them to stand out from the folks.
After knowing this fact, many schools, colleges and universities are introducing various subjects related to modern technology.
But why do schools and colleges emphasize technology in their regular curriculum? Artificial intelligence, Machine learning and others are tools that help students learn about the technologies and meet industrial demand.
All these technological tools not only help to fulfil the industrial demands but also helps the schools and colleges to imply that the technology on their campuses enhances the teaching methodology of the faculties and makes learning more accessible for students.
And since the occurrence of COVID19, many universities have adopted modern technological tools. According to the McKinsey new research report 2021, the students and teachers are eager to pursue new classroom learning technologies which have been embraced during COVID-19; however, universities could adopt and support the more technological shift.
Adopting modern technology in universities has several benefits, which have been discussed below:
•Affordable
Earlier, schools and universities used blackboards and chalk to write and draw things so the students could get a fair idea about the concepts. It used to take lots of effort from all the faculties and consumes the massive cost of the schools and universities.
However, electronic devices have replaced blackboards and chalks in the techno-savvy world. But, as one can say, electronic gadgets are costlier than
chalks and blackboards. These devices consume one-time costs and last for a long in schools and universities.
The blackboard's primary goal was to give the students a proper understanding of the concepts. In contrast, a digital blackboard provides students with much better clearance of any subject or concept.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, schools and universities took online lectures through various software, and many universities also provided their student's laptops and tabs for learning purposes. Since then, schools and institutions have launched inclassroom devices so students can use the devices during lectures to understand the subjects better.
The devices also show visual pictures related to their topics, which helps them gain a more profound knowledge of the matter.
•Accessible
Students get bored during lectures sometimes and don't understand things, which may affect their academics. Although, with the changing landscape, the teaching pattern has changed, and now the faculties are using projectors to show pictures, videos or case studies, making the students curious to learn and score well in their academics.
•Enhancing
As technology has opened many doors for various educational systems, another benefit of modern technology in universities is enhancing communication and collaboration among teachers and students.
Online learning has brought many opportunities for students to
amalgamate with each other through online platforms and organizes many projects which have to be submitted through online, all these projects are distributed among the team of students where everyone has been assigned work, and every student comes up with their innovative ideas and information which enriches the knowledge.
In the process, the students build a good rapport with teachers and improve their communication.
As discussed before, modern technological tools are helping the future generation to get used to these technologies.
It allows them to bring more innovation and development to the world, as technology is itself an innovation; however, with its help, the world has been seeing a drastic transformation that is developing the lifestyle of humans and making everything accessible to them.
The Bottom Line Advancement in digitalization and technology is the bewildered step of universities, which prepares the young generation for the digital environment; technology plays a vital role in the world. The universities are investing in technology-based education to enhance the quality of education. With the advanced learning approach, the universities are making the student industry ready.
Industries are also adopting various technologies for the smooth functioning of their firm and looking for young students who can cater to the industry's needs.

Construction is an art as well as the science of creating objects. Being a diversified field of effective collaboration, it includes the erection, maintenance, and repair of buildings and other immobile structures and building roads and service facilities. It delivers buildings, infrastructure, industrial facilities, structural additions, and alterations. Typically designed as the process of planning, designing, executing, building, and covering repairs, maintenance, and improvement of work.
In the Bronze Age, craftsmen, bricklayers, and carpenters appeared. And around 3000 years ago, Egyptians started building large structures from stone and baked brick; the most prominent examples of this can be seen in the 2,500years-old Guatemala temple, constructed with hand-covered stone.
Channelising and removing all the ancient architecture, the roots of construction can be traced back to North America, the origin of residences and shelters in colonies that gave rise to agriculture.
Taj Mahal, Great Wall of China, Pyramids of Egypt, Grist Mills, Water Mills, and Windmills are some historical examples of sustainable construction. In 1796, the industry started using Cast-iron pillars to Construct ten stories, and by the 19th Century, 14 to 15 stories equipped with elevators were raised to 100 stories.
Today construction is the leading industry, counting for 10% of global GDP and 7% of the global workforce employment, which is 273 million people . During the pandemic, the construction industry's output dropped to 2.4% in 2020 and rose to 5.8% in 2022 .
Today's industry trend demands Lighter, Stronger Metallic, and Synthesis products. These new products withstand natural disasters, such as earthquakes and hurricanes and more than 40% of Construction Projects are fast-track in the st 21 Century. Taiwan, Malesia, and Hong Kong have boosted their economy by accelerating the construction sector for a vibrant economy. On the same line, Malaysia and China are using the same strategy by rebuilding cities and highways.
Every segment construction project needs a unique team to plan, design, construct and maintain the project. Industrial Construction needs a high expertise team in planning, cost estimating, and designing the construction, whereas Infrastructure Construction, also known as heavy civil engineering, includes large public work, dams, bridges,
highways, railways, and wastewater utility distribution. Hence, they need highly trained project managers highly supervised by a construction manager, design engineer, construction engineer, and project architect.
Owners of the company projects or clients are the driving force behind the construction industry. Architects, structural designers, and construction managers supply specifications, methods, statements, design, and schedule of the project and perform supervision and quality control functions. The constructor ensures that the work is done and delivered on time.
In big construction projects, a bid for work secures them. Club under the conglomerate of prime constructors, and subcontractors, engage their own minor and petty contractors and vendors for various work to a network of thousands of contracting farms for carrying out contractual activities in a time-bound framework.
The Multiplicity of Agencies: Multiple agencies work in many governments and semigovernment municipal committees. Planning with the Mining Department, Forest Department, Safety Inspectors, Fire Department, Labor Department, Director of Industries, Local Police and Administration, Sales Tax, Income Tax, Excise Department, and various other public departments is done in towns and across the nation. On a typical construction site, never-ending clearance certificates are also invited.
• Complexity : Construction Industry is complex in nature. High-tech, highly mechanized tools, and equipment plant machinery are needed.
• Uniqueness : Every construction project is unique and different in its own nature. Two identical bridges are to be constructed because of the location issues such as soil and subsoil, which may introduce many variations.
• Quality of Supervision : Quality supervision of high order is needed for every site. A small deviation in parameters such as Time, Cost, and Quality may affect variations in the Project Cost.
• Mobility : Vertical, Horizontal movement of materials, human resources, equipment etc., are continuously changing. Construction industries affect all sectors of the economy.
• Linkage to Other Industry : Linkage to this Industry and High-Value addition provides sustainable growth to every economic sector. Surveying Companies, Architecture engineering firms' inspection services,
•project management firms, model creating firms, plumbing, heating, central air condition, electrical wiring, lighting equipment, elevators, and escalators depend on the Construction Industry.
• Organizational setup : Public/Private Government sectors are not designed for administrative structure in highly dependent and conflict-prone environments.
• Safety Hazards : The accident rate on site is higher than in other industries.
• Labor Quality : Labor productivity largely depends on the quality of the labour workforce available in each geographical area. Poor quality of construction is major concern because of the unskilled workforce.
• Productivity Dependency : Supply and demand of material and workforce affect construction site productivity. Planning, designing and execution control and maximizing productivity.
Technology advancement in ERP systems helps project managers to develop successful plans for civil engineering projects from the start of work through completion, as well as throughout the construction life cycle. Thus, Most of the ERP software helps from planning, Project control to the cost and revenue estimation to avoid project failures because of labour cost and deadline meetups, raw material planning, HR, and design developments. Real-time project tracking, streamlining operations with the simplified information exchange.
