Principal’s Message

	Engineering education must evolve to keep pace with mighty changes ‘Occurring today in business industry and society’. Engineers must develop attributes and knowledge beyond traditional constraints of the classrooms. Engineering education must be designed to accommodate current trends and future needs and enhance the flexibility of curricula. Engineering education must create more connection sand stronger partnership with the global society, in which we are embedded. We must examine the relevance of curricula and strive for fulfillment of University, College and professional missions. Our goal is to articulate the role of engineering education in the early part of the 21st century and to establish design specifications that will enable the College of Engineering, Koregaon Bhima, Pune, to be a leader in shaping the future of engineering education. As such we have an obligation to address the full range of higher education, namely: reaching and learning, research and service to the community. Indeed these three elements must be totally integrated if we are to be effective in the pursuit of our mission.
Engineering and Technology play a dominant role in manufacturing, including the manufacturing or processing associated with agricultural products. It should also be clear that engineering expertise and technology are major contributors to mining, construction, transportation and infrastructure. Use of current technologies creation of new technologies is at the heart of the engineering profession. Engineering education must have an eye on the fruits of the profession’s labor. Designing our educational program towards these ends will have a tremendous impact on the viability of the profession in practice. In the last quarter century, technology and society exhibited two defining characteristics: namely increasing rates of change and increasing complexity. It’s my message to the students that they should work hard with proper planning, do the smart work which is beneficial to individual at the international level. Always try to achieve the top most position. Prof. J.N. Shinde Ph.D.* I/C Principal AACOE
