The
College is sensitive to the forces of globalization and its effect on Indian education. The country
today needs to
develop engineers who know the best technology and can
deploy it to produce the best products and services. We
need engineers who can translate requirements
into real
functional
systems.
We are constantly reviewing our
teaching-leaning processes
to make them modern and keep them up to date.
Engineering students today should be well-rounded
problem solvers who
go beyond the confines of their functional units. Whereas carrying out one’s function is important, this function is to be
seen in the larger context of the value addition
that a corporation
wishes to provide.
Therefore, taking responsibility for and
being a player in
the total value addition
process is of the
essence. This makes
our students highly
employable in Indian industry.
Ultimately, responsibility for
learning lies with the student.
The best teacher, the best
resources and infrastructure,
the best atmosphere comes
to naught if the student does
not put in the effort to learn. Given
the high rate of
obsolescence of technology, the chance is that
the
technology taught to the engineering student in College
shall not be used for long after the student passes out.
Therefore the acquisition of basic principles and
fundamental concepts
is the only learning that remains.
Thereafter, the student stays abreast of technology by on-the-job
and life-long learning. We at Galgotias are driven
by this
underlying view of education. While providing good
infrastructure, teaching resources, library and
laboratory, we impress upon our students the importance
of original
thought and learning how to learn. We believe that much
of our success is due to this.
Obviously, the key to good education is good faculty. We
have a very rigorous faculty recruitment process.
Faculty
interviews are conducted by the best
selection boards in
the country. Invariably these boards have
members from the IITs and other
reputed Institutions
in and around
Delhi
region. Only about 5-10% of the
applicants are
finally selected. This
rigorous procedure
brings in the best
faculty in the UPTU
system.
Galgotias provides an educational
experience that is at
once enriching,
empowering and
enlightening. The
Galgotians can hold
his/her head high in
the community of
engineers. |
