Why study BE Mechanical Engineering?

Would you pursue Computer Science or Electronics or Mechanical Engineering? Isn’t mechanical engineering old and dated, and so not interesting?

Not so if you consider ChatGPT and how IT careers are changing. ChatGPT and other tools are writing code faster, cheaper and often better. Rapid product development is replacing multi-year IT service contracts that the big Indian IT companies built their businesses on.

On the other hand, India is building a new economy built on Manufacturing and Engineering. The government, under its flagship Atmanirbhar Bharat and other programmes, is inviting multinationals to make India the manufacturing hub. Manufacturing and engineering sectors create many more jobs than service sectors and are critical for India’s journey to become a $5 Trillion economy. 

You should also know that Industry 4.0 is bringing cyber and physical together and changing the factory (some interesting data point is in last year’s Global Employability Handbook). Sustainability has emerged as one of the key considerations. Consumer demand – both B2B and B2C – has become more globally influenced and design thinking and entrepreneurial mindset are far more important in manufacturing than it ever was. In short, manufacturing is no longer the grand-dad business – it is as innovative and digitally transformed as ever.

We are constantly talking with some of the big manufacturing and engineering companies in India, L&T, Arcelor-Mittal, and ITC among them. There is a real talent shortage in the manufacturing sector. Engineers don’t want to do engineering in India and often do not consider manufacturing or engineering as an attractive career option. This is why we have come together with LTSU, which is located in a region which has a long track record of engineering excellence, to create an engineering programme which prepares the students for the future of manufacturing and engineering. By this, we hope to provide our industry partners with the kind of future-ready talent they seek.

Be in charge of your career with XPMCs (Experiential Microcredentials)

XPMCs is integrated into the curriculum as a mandatory course of Lamrin Technical Skills University for Mechanical Engineering with Design & Manufacturing program. All students undergoing or planning to join Mechanical Engineering with Design & Manufacturing at Lamrin Technical Skills University will experience up to 6 (six) XPMCs during the course of their degree study. Each XPMC is a team-based agile project lasting 12 weeks and is focused on developing the learners’ holistic capabilities in a work-like scenario.

Experiential Projects (XPMC):

Semester 1 - XPMC: Product development - Fundamentals 

Semester 2 - XPMC: Conducting an environmental impact study 

Semester 3 - XPMC: Scoping out Smart Manufacturing

Semester 4 - XPMC: Creating sustainable packaging

Semester 5 - XPMCLive: Industry4.0 process implementation

Semester 6 - XPMC: Measuring Social Impact of an Organisation.

Project Outcome:

Workplace Readiness Profile of learners mapped to competencies required for respective job roles.

XPMC Methodology:

Employability.life aims to put practical knowledge, using hands-on methods with flexible and transparent credentials, at the heart of Higher education through XPMCs focused on high demand focus skilled areas. 

XPMCs are backed by strategic university partners, professional bodies and globally recognized employers based on 3 design principles namely: collaborative, mentor-led & agile.
