Krishna Vedula of IFEES member organization ASEI
(American Society

Hoyer of ASEE
returned from a trip to India, where they visited the site
of the first India/U.S. Collaborative on Engineering Education.
This meeting will bring together engineering educators from
India and the U.S. to discuss ways to improve engineering
and technical education throughout the Indian Subcontinent
and the US. The meeting will take place this June in Mysore,
India, and will be complemented by a follow-up meeting in
Washington, DC at the National Academy of Engineering in August
2007. The representatives of the international delegation
including Xavier Fouger of Dassault
Systems who is also an IFEES member, ASEE president-elect
Jim Melsa, Executive Committee member of IFEES, Frank Huband
and Hans Jürgen Hoyer will be part of that delegation
and will visit high level Indian government officials as well
as other leaders of the Indian industry and academic community.
Professor Vedula is the Dean Emeritus and Professor of Engineering
at the University
of Massachusetts, Lowell and the intellectual leader of
the ASEE-supported IUCEE,
the Indo-US
Collaboration for Engineering Education. While in India,
he and Hans Jürgen Hoyer made contact with IFEES vice
president N.R. Shetty, of the Indian
Society of Technical Education, visited the cutting-edge
professional training campuses of INFOSYS
Technologies in both Bangalore and Mysore as well as the
