IUCEE

TCE is one of the consortium institutions of IUCEE. The Indo Universal Collaboration for Engineering Education (IUCEE), with Headquarters at University of MassachusettsLowell, was conceptualized by over 150 leaders of engineering education and businesses from US and India in 2007. The vision of IUCEE is to improve the quality and global relevance of engineering education and research in India and related benefits to US engineering educators, with focus on faculty development, student development, curriculum development, as well as improved  teaching technologies & research.

ENGINEERING PROJECTS IN COMMUNITY SERVICES (EPICS) @ TCE

TCE is a member in Purdue University’s Engineering Projects in Community Services (EPICS) Program. EPICS Program is an engineering-centered, multidisciplinary, community-based approach to design education. EPICS and IUCEE have developed a strategic partnership to expand opportunities for Indian colleges and universities to adapt the EPICS model into institution’s curriculum. We have enrolled in IUCEE-EPICS in August 2017. Prof. Bill Oakes of Purdue University, along with the IUCEE team, offered a formal course in Design Thinking. TCE is recognized as one of the consortium members of IEEE- EPICS-Chennai Chapter. The concept of design thinking throngs the minds of TCE faculty with the IUCEE course on Design thinking. With this seed, a design thinking course has been introduced in TCE as a part of CDIIO framework with the given course outcomes and are able to get number of interesting projects.

Conceptual Design of submitted proposals were assessed in form of a presentation by student team members in three streams. The faculty members who have been undergone training on  Human-Centered Design in Design Thinking course have been assigned as the reviewers for each stream based on their technical expertise.
The following courses of 26 credits have been designed to facilitate the sustainable EPICS projects in our institute.

  • Engineering Exploration and Lateral Thinking (1st Year) – 5 Credits
  • Design Thinking and Project Management (2nd Year) – 5 Credits
  • System Thinking and Engineering Design Project (3rd Year) – 4 Credits
  • Capstone Design Project and Project (4th Year) – 11 Credits

Laurels obtained after the course: Two best design thinking posters in ICTIEE 2020

  • Match Sticks Marshaller - Dr.B.Yogameena & Team
  • Modular Helmet - Mr.B.Sankar & Team

ENGINEERING EDUCATION RESEARCH (EER)

TCE, with its strong passion for research, supports research in Engineering Education also. The faculty of TCE has participated in various EER courses offered by IUCEE with EER experts. Also, EER publications of TCE faculty in ICTIEE Conferences have been sponsored by the institution. EER Publications of TCE faculty shall be accessed at https://www.tce.edu/academics/eer-publications

INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON TRANSFORMATIONS IN ENGINEERING EDUCATION (ICTIEE)

As part of IUCEE partnership, TCE has been participating in the annual conference of IUCEE - International Conference on Transformations in Engineering Education (ICTIEE) since 2018, held every year in order to facilitate the sharing and collaboration between the institutions, faculty and students associated with IUCEE. TCE has hosted the conference during 2018, 8th & 9th of January 2018. ICTIEE is one of the best forums for sharing of best practices in curriculum design, content delivery and assessment for effective implementation of Outcome Based Education.
