About IUCEE
US and Indian universities have launched an initiative to build US-India collaborations in order
to make engineering education and research more relevant to the needs of the global society and
to the aptitudes and aspirations of new generations of youth.. This synergy between US and India
provides the opportunity for the two countries to collaborate on building the next generation
technical workforce using new paradigms.
The Indo US Collaboration for Engineering Education (IUCEE) has the mission of improving
the quality and global relevance of engineering education in India and in the US. We expect that
success of IUCEE will benefit other countries. We believe this will lead to a better world.
IUCEE will focus on increasing the number of engineering faculty in the US and in India who
collaborate on research and teaching and who will be able to better prepare engineers for the
global economy.
The key approach of the IUCEE effort is to conduct summer institutes for engineering faculty in
India in the “Facilitate the Trainer” model with the help of renowned US faculty experts.
The unique features of the “Facilitate the trainer” model are:
1) Exposure of global practices by the involvement of renowned global experts in various
disciplines initially from the US in the creation of the course content and delivery to
experienced Indian with a potential to be regional leaders
2) Creation of IUCEE Regional Centers of Excellence wherein certified Indian faculty would
impart training via regional workshops to faculty drawn from second and third tier colleges
from their respective regions, with provision for offering such workshops in other regions
as well.
3) Emphasis on follow up and assessment of the impact by a team of educational experts.
4) Continuous engagement of employers in defining the content and deployment of the course
materials.
5) Intelligent use of educational technologies tools in order to scale and improve faculty
productivity
6) To establish a framework for developing educational leadership.
Networks will be created between US and Indian faculty and colleges of engineering via the
summer institutes and tours of US colleges by heads and faculty of Indian engineering colleges.
These networks will enable the identification of best practices which can be replicated and scaled
up. Networks will be assisted in developing specific long term collaborations.
