"This was my first Talent Development Programme session, and I was quite impressed by its quality. I think the fact that all the participants are highly motivated and intelligent people enabled me to gain a lot from interaction with them. I am looking forward to the next programme."

Parijat Mishra, 2nd year, Engineering

Engineering is the art of using science, mathematics and experience for the well being of human kind. Engineers plan, design and build. They engineer happenings. The better ones among them proceed to change the ways of engineering itself.

The TDP in Faculty of Engineering is for those very capable students who aspire to a higher level of challenge than offered by the application of scientific and mathematical concepts as taught. To be able to become creative leaders of the engineering profession individuals need to nurture a wide spectrum of capabilities. To provide opportunities for such capable students, the TDP has been thoughtfully fashioned with special developmental programmes including independent study modules and a scheme for concept enhancement.

Independent study modules are for the enthusiasts. When one has a personal passion for seeking an in-depth understanding of a specific phenomenon the best is to undertake a study under the supervision of an expert familiar with the subject area. Independent study modules under the TDP permit students to study personally chosen subjects within engineering disciplines and earn modular credits in fulfillment of graduation requirements.

When engineers create, engineering concepts are what give them strength, support and confidence. Under the Concept Enhancement Scheme, TDP students are given special opportunities to develop an intimate familiarity with engineering concepts through discussions and interactions with course lecturers.
