IUCEE Featured in The Chronicle of Higher Education
The Indo-US Collaboration for Engineering Education (IUCEE) was recently featured in The Chronicle of Higher Education. The IUCEE, the “brainchild” of IFEES President-Elect, Krishna Vedula, was set up with the help of the University of Massachusetts-Lowell, the American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE), and the Indian Society for Technical Education (ISTE). Since 2007 more than 7,200 Indian faculty members have been trained in effective methods for teaching engineering courses, with many reporting high satisfaction with the workshops, and notable changes in student performance due to newly adopted teaching methods.
