INDUSTRY-INTEGRATED COURSES:
The industry has repeatedly drawn attention to the
inadequacy of technical knowledge of diploma holders. This inadequacy has been
partly met by the introduction of Sandwich Pattern courses since 1972-73. But
the industry insists that however efficient the system of technical education
and training may be, the diploma holders are not likely to fit exactly into the
industrial requirements without the industry’s active participation. Practical
work in polytechnics, if coordinated with the industry can impart training
necessary to develop, acquire and appreciate basic working skills. A judicious
combination of skills and tools, assimilation of knowledge and techniques on
the floor can be acquired only through the integrated participation of the
industry.
In classroom instructional atmosphere a student lacks
urgency and interest which characterizes the job executed as a part of
production, maintenance and marketing. Practical work in a production shop or
in a design office of an industry are not merely exercises; but stages of work.
These exercises end in saleable product. Thus they make a difference in the
intensity of motivation, assimilation and appreciation in contrast to the
classroom instruction. Only through the co-joint efforts of industry and
educational institutions, a closer relation between knowledge and skill can be
achieved. Therefore to meet the existing demands of the industry, L&T
Institute of Technology has adopted the Industry Integrated Courses – a new
approach in technical education.
Salient features of the Industry-Integrated Courses are:
-
Utilization of well established training centers of industry for imparting
instructions.
-
Shop-floor instructions and hands-on training for effective and meaningful
learning.
-
Enhanced Inplant Training period.
-
Thirty percent of lectures by practising engineers particularly in VI and VII
semesters.
-
Introduction to industrial environment right from the first semester.
-
Emphasis on development of attitudes.
