Engineering education is much talked subject in the Country since many of the engineers who come out of the colleges do not possess the needed skills to solve the practical problems. To find the engineering solutions to problems require proper orientation. Keeping this factor in mind some of the prominent professionals and educationists who have spent several decades in building the systems and also in training the students with specific focus on the problem solving have conceived an interesting programme termed as “Tomorrow’s Engineer”.

This calls for an ability to keenly observe the world we live in, to notice the problems that need solutions, perseverance to find solutions, ability to interact with all stakeholders, an awareness of the environment and above all an ability to be creative. Tomorrows Engineer was an event that aims to sensitize students of engineering towards finding the engineering solutions to many of such problems and introduce them to a broad framework for engaging with many practical problems.

It is expected that at the end of this programme the participating students and faculty members would get the needed training and basic skills in attempting the solutions for many of the practical problems.
