Dynamism and Total Integration in Engineering Curriculum Planning to Meet Industry Needs and Implementation based on Theory into Practice (TIP)

In this knowledge-based economy, the role of engineering colleges and technical universities has an important effect on developing needed knowledge capital and human capital. The industry-specific programs are focused on the desired outcomes. Most of the well-established universities started improving their curricula to meet the demands of transnational organizations. This paper aimed at developing a dynamic curriculum design model from the assessment of needed attributes of the graduates, preparing a draft curriculum, conducting formative evaluation, improving them, continuously improving resources, and faculty members, offering needed instructional materials, and incorporating on-the-job training, introducing industry-specific projects/dissertations, and placing the graduates in the industry or guide them to become entrepreneurs. The research methodology is the action research method. SWOT Analysis has to be done and the vision of the institute has to be focused on creating human and knowledge capital. The draft curriculum has to be evaluated by groups of experts, improved, piloted, and implemented systematically with well-designed resource learning packages, periodically evaluated through tracer study. The stakeholders are to be involved at every stage and the program has to be accredited.
