This paper focuses on the journey of engineering education to flourish the India’s economic growth. To know the role of engineering education towards the contribution of nation’s economic growth, the meaning of true engineering education must be understood. The engineering student’s life includes three phases in his/her education journey; i) education, ii) employment and iii) society welfare. At the world level, engineering education is the most preferred career option. At present India produces 15 lakh engineers for 1 trillion economies whereas United State (US) produces 1 lakh engineers for 16 trillion economies. The difference is the engineers of US is skill oriented from day one while India’s engineers are not industry ready due to lack of skill and required 6 month or 1 year training after the course completion. So, the quantity and quality of engineers produced by India is not adequate to keep the pace with the world. In the new world technologies changes very fast so as engineering education from 1.0 to 4.0 and now education 5.0 more focuses on rehumanizing approaches with machine and technologies. The paper also emphasis different era of industry, society, education revolution with respect to engineering education to compete with globalized world.

Abstract


This paper focuses on the journey of engineering education to flourish the India’s economic growth. To know the role of engineering education towards the contribution of nation’s economic growth, the meaning of true engineering education must be understood. The engineering student’s life includes three phases in his/her education journey; i) education, ii) employment and iii) society welfare. At the world level, engineering education is the most preferred career option. At present India produces 15 lakh engineers for 1 trillion economies whereas United State (US) produces 1 lakh engineers for 16 trillion economies. The difference is the engineers of US is skill oriented from day one while India’s engineers are not industry ready due to lack of skill and required 6 month or 1 year training after the course completion. So, the quantity and quality of engineers produced by India is not adequate to keep the pace with the world. In the new world technologies changes very fast so as engineering education from 1.0 to 4.0 and now education 5.0 more focuses on rehumanizing approaches with machine and technologies. The paper also emphasis different era of industry, society, education revolution with respect to engineering education to compete with globalized world.
