Abstract

The outcome of technical education system is fresh engineers/technicians who are the backbone of the industrial sector. It is the responsibility of faculty members, institutions, and industries to enhance the quality of this outcome to (a) achieve higher production rate and (b) manufacture the quality products to satisfy the customer needs in the global market. It is essential to update the curriculum, Teaching-Learning (T-L) process, and practical skills of faculty members according to the industrial requirements. This chapter presents different important aspects that can be scientifically implemented in technical education systems to escalate the quality of fresh engineers/technicians. The quality deciding factors are: industrial exposure to faculty members through the industrial case studies, inclusion of interdisciplinary subjects in the curriculum, implementation of structured project work, and planned industrial training for students. Another important element is to create the research and development environment in polytechnics and engineering colleges to inculcate the research capabilities amongst the students. In each aspect of this chapter, flow diagrams, models, implementation methodology, role of faculty members, students, institutions, and industries are presented and discussed. These aspects facilitate to generate intelligent, multidisciplinary skilled, and innovative technical manpower. Thus, the fruitful industry-institute-interaction can be achieved.
