The Future of Technology and Engineering Education

The all important objective of technical education is to solve real problems. It is very important to note that the student who joins our institutions, need to be with the Final Placement Package of 15 to 20 Lakh Per Annum which is our target today.

Education has never been as important as it is today. Good Education is worth its value in GOLD, in our case SONA, yes we have a 360 degree approach, which helps the student in overall learning. As we say in Sona “Learning is a Celebration”, the focus is on output and it is becoming more of experiential learning, which is a big challenge especially when students come from a background of Mugging. We have a detrain before we train; this process is called Mindset Engineering at Sona, where we work with our Medical College, Sona College of Naturopathy & Yoga. During the pandemic, we have built a model where Training happens from Mind Set, using our Yoga teachers to create a positive outlook. This has helped to improve self belief and has resulted in better outcomes.

There is a huge focus on technology development after the pandemic as companies are looking at faster and larger numbers and more start-ups from us with higher packages. It is important that our students are like a “Ready to Eat”, as companies save huge on training cost & time. We are investing in the latest technology, our platform 3T, Tomorrow’s Technology Today is built for the students of tomorrow.

Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning (ML) and Analytics are opening up huge opportunities for the future. Sona focuses on creating students for the global environment. This also requires huge thrust in the area of changing technology. We keep on adopting at a very high level.

As technology keeps changing, we need to change faster, our Board of Studies which consists of top industrialists & academicians review the curriculum & course content every 6 months. Our thrust towards Digital Engineering started way back in 2015 itself where we invested in Black Board, Lecture Capture System & in recent years Touch Screen Large Screens where a student learns 4W, 3H (What, Who, Where, When, How, How much & How long) has created thorough engineers who get the right outcome be it placements or starting their own companies.

Evolving Engineering institutions will need to keep up to the industry requirement as the KFA (Key Focus Areas) keep changing.
