Panel Discussion - 18-July-2008, Hyderabad - At a gathering of faculty members, stakeholders in Engineering Services discuss different viewpoints - the framers of the curriculum, employers of graduate engineers, and owners of educational institutions. Lessons are also drawn from the IT industry, which has already experienced several of the problems that growth opportunities in high-technology services businesses bring.


HyperWorks - A Launchpad for Career Development

Stakeholders discuss opportunities and challenges

thumbnail The Skill-Gap in CAE: Colleges frame their curriculum keeping mind a range of requirements. Employers are aggressively growing their business in Engineering Services - and struggling to staff them. College managements find that engineering students gravitate towards jobs in IT. Are these just perceptions, or are they hard facts? If the latter, what are the solutions? Can any lessons be drawn from the IT-Services industry which is so much larger and older than the Engineering Services industry?

Altair's HyperWorks for Students initiative offers an innovative solution to the problem of the skill-gap, by offering relevant, realistic project templates, together with Instructor's Manuals and a Technical Support Forum.

In a series of lectures, 4 experts present their views as faculty members listen - and offer opinions of their own.
