K. K. Wagh Institute of Engineering Education and Research is
beyond proud to have achieved this milestone. AICTE-IDEA lab is Idea
Development, Evaluation, and Application Lab for encouraging students in the
application of fundamentals towards enhanced hands-on experience, learning by
doing, and product visualization.
To provide updates on
innovative ideas, student projects, KKWIEER-IDEA lab process, achievements, and
awards we are starting this bimonthly Newsletter. It gives us immense pleasure in
writing this welcome message for this newsletter.
The purpose of a KKWIEER-IDEA lab is to provide all
facilities under one roof for the conversion of an idea into a prototype. With
this facility on the campus students and faculty members will be encouraged to
take creative work and in the progress, get training on critical thinking
problem-solving, collaboration, etc. which conventional labs are not able to.
The focus will be on training students so that they become imaginative and
creative. The whole idea is to transfer engineering education.
Under this, all the students will be exposed to the
KKWIEER-IDEA lab by organizing training sessions as well as supporting projects
and by providing online learning. Teachers will also be trained in these labs
to know their scope and opportunities in teaching-learning processes as well as
research and development projects. Students will also be encouraged to work
with faculties on R&D projects and internships which involve the
utilization of KKWIEER-IDEA lab facilities.
Under this
initiative students will be trained on 21st Century skills, teachers will
be trained in Teaching-Learning Process, research, and projects, and students
will be encouraged for projects and internships. Students will get actual
industrial exposure by working on the projects using the facilities available
in the KKWIEER-IDEA Lab.
We are looking forward to a key collaboration with all
stakeholders that benefits our students at large.
