Department of Mechanical Engineering, I.T.S Engineering College, Greater Noida

Department of Mechanical Engineering, I.T.S Engineering College, Greater Noida is organizing an Industrial Training Program for the students of B. Tech 3rd year. The training is being undertaken by Indian Institute of Skill Development (IISD) Pvt. Ltd. The training will focus on enhancing the soft skills of the students related to designing and development of products and the requirements of automotive industry in particular. The program was inaugurated in the presence of Dr. Vineet Kansal, Director, I.T.S Engineering College, Prof. Sanjay Yadav, Head, ME Department, respective faculty members of the department, CRC Coordinator of the college and IISD staff. In his views, Dr. Vineet Kansal, Director, I.T.S, expressed the need of having trained engineers to meet the needs of the industry. He said that of all the graduates coming out every year, a good strength belongs to Mechanical Engineering and therefore, the students need to have enhanced skills to satisfy the industry demand. Sharing his views, it was said that there was a time when the engineer graduates were recruited and trained according to the needs of the recruiting industry. After successful completion of the training, they were assigned jobs and start working as proper employees. With the coming of MNCs and ever growing competition in the manufacturing sector, this trend has seen a decline. Now, the recruiters prefer trained engineers who can join the job and help in revenue generation with minimum training inputs. This changing scenario has diverted the attention of academia to bring in some value adding courses in the teaching curriculum so that graduating engineers should possess some basic skills that can satisfy the industrial demand and increase their employability. The undertaken training program will focus on the enhancement of the student’s skill with industry oriented software familiarity, job designing and manufacturing.
