Institutes like SVIT (Sai Vidya Institute of Technology) are predominantly engineering complexes well known for successfully producing engineering graduates in various disciplines. Since 2009, SVIT also pioneered imparting quality education in the management discipline.

This paper researches the beneficial aspects of empowering management students with digital technologies from a crucible of engineering excellence - an innovative manner of teaching. It investigates whether the learning outcomes due to the digital engineering interface empowers management students and propels them towards better performance as compared to stand alone management institutes.

While both types of institutes have access to excellent libraries and management laboratories with state-of-theart computer centers, it is the environment blossoming with digital engineering fervor that generates excitement and propels the management student towards accelerated performance. A readily available pool of engineering faculty members, actively involved in developing and incorporating new interactive teaching methodologies in the field of digital technologies (engineering and sciences) are leveraged for developing management resource required by industry today.

This fusion of ideas between the engineering and management faculty helps bridge theoretical concepts with practical exposure through constant interaction easily possible within the institute precincts. Further lots of industry interaction which the MBA curriculum requires and which makes students get an insight in the management concepts thoroughly is easier in an engineering institute, where its faculty, engineering discipline and workshops, make this domain knowledge available from Day 1.

The paper investigates the performance of MBA students at SVIT from the 2007-09 batch onwards and determines how integrating engineering disciplines with the MBA philosophy, is the result of the result of learning outcomes due to innovative teaching which addresses major challenges, develop complete solutions and knowledge which is shared and transferred to industry through teaching, collaboration and entrepreneurship, making it more acceptable to the ultimate end user. This performance of SVIT's MBA students and their acceptability to industry is analyzed and enumerated.

Abstract


Institutes like SVIT (Sai Vidya Institute of Technology) are predominantly engineering complexes well known for successfully producing engineering graduates in various disciplines. Since 2009, SVIT also pioneered imparting quality education in the management discipline.

This paper researches the beneficial aspects of empowering management students with digital technologies from a crucible of engineering excellence - an innovative manner of teaching. It investigates whether the learning outcomes due to the digital engineering interface empowers management students and propels them towards better performance as compared to stand alone management institutes.

While both types of institutes have access to excellent libraries and management laboratories with state-of-theart computer centers, it is the environment blossoming with digital engineering fervor that generates excitement and propels the management student towards accelerated performance. A readily available pool of engineering faculty members, actively involved in developing and incorporating new interactive teaching methodologies in the field of digital technologies (engineering and sciences) are leveraged for developing management resource required by industry today.

This fusion of ideas between the engineering and management faculty helps bridge theoretical concepts with practical exposure through constant interaction easily possible within the institute precincts. Further lots of industry interaction which the MBA curriculum requires and which makes students get an insight in the management concepts thoroughly is easier in an engineering institute, where its faculty, engineering discipline and workshops, make this domain knowledge available from Day 1.

The paper investigates the performance of MBA students at SVIT from the 2007-09 batch onwards and determines how integrating engineering disciplines with the MBA philosophy, is the result of the result of learning outcomes due to innovative teaching which addresses major challenges, develop complete solutions and knowledge which is shared and transferred to industry through teaching, collaboration and entrepreneurship, making it more acceptable to the ultimate end user. This performance of SVIT's MBA students and their acceptability to industry is analyzed and enumerated.
