FACULTY
For an academic institution, this is very important to recruit quality faculty. In TIET, faculty
members are recruited through a rigorous selection process. This process includes the
opinion of Academic Units and also that of outside experts. This is even more important to
train and retain this key resource. We have taken a number of steps to retain the faculty
and have entered into an MOU with Trinity College, Dublin to train the faculty members on
state-of-art learning practices and pedagogies. For this purpose, we have established a
Centre for Academic Practices and Student Learning at our Campus, and plan to get all
the faculty members certified on these practices by experts from TCD. We hope to bring
sweeping changes in the methodologies adopted by faculty as of now and are confident
that this initiative shall help faculty members importing better learning to our students, shall
help faculty members to involve students at all levels in their research endeavours and thus
producing graduates who can serve our country better.

Aspiring to become a globally acclaimed Institute, Thapar Institute of Engineering and

Technology (TIET) is implementing a major contemporisation program mentored by global
partners. The program focuses on strategies to deliver a research inspired, outcome based
educational experience to the students at all levels. It is a major shift in focus from current
‘content-oriented’ imparting of engineering education to a ‘project-based’ and
‘outcome-oriented’ educational experience.

The new teaching pedagogy lays emphasis on applying engineering skills through relevant
engineering design projects, improving team-working skills, and awareness of issues
relating to ethics and professionalism. Additionally, all academic staff is encouraged to
bring in cutting-edge research ideas from their own research into their teaching. The
introduction of multi-disciplinary engineering design courses, which include a catapult,
buggy and bridge design projects, makes this a unique engineering program in the
country.

Thapar Institute of Engineering and Technology offers a basket of undergraduate

engineering and a 2+2 credit transfer program (International Engineering Program) in
collaboration with Trinity College, Dublin.

Thapar Institute of Engineering and Technology, with its sprawling campus spread over 250
acres, is home to over 100 teaching and research laboratories in engineering and
sciences. TIET have envisioned improving the laboratory and physical infrastructure on the
campus. A modernization plan for the important teaching and research laboratories is
being implemented at a cost of Rs 70 cr. By this time, we already modernized over 40
undergraduate teaching labs. TIET have hired world class foreign architects to develop
key academic infrastructure that includes a new Computer Science block, green Library,
modern lecture hall complex, iconic student residences and other academic blocks. The
first phase of these facilities will start functioning in first quarter of 2018.

An Innovation Centre/Venture Lab has been set up to run accelerator program open to
teams of students with an early-stage business idea in collaboration with University of
Groningen. The program is supporting students in developing investor-ready ventures.

The strong industry-academia linkages forged by Thapar Institute of Engineering and

Technology, its quality of students and faculty, and the high industry relevance of its
professional courses have helped the Institute to emerge as a top draw among some of
the biggest corporate names from across the world. The highest salary package offered to
students this year is Rs 40.00 lakh per annum by Work Applications Japan and an average
of Rs 7.00 lakh across disciplines. The key highlight is the placement of students in their core
area of study throughout all disciplines.

TIET have set up a Centre for Academic Practice and Student Learning (CAPSL) to train
faculty to in-house teaching & learning modules during the next 3-5 years. As the centre
gets established, we have recognized key academic staff across different disciplines with
specific interest and knowledge of different aspects of higher education pedagogy, and
train them at Trinity from January 2018. Continuous professional development modules and
certified programmes are delivered by faculty from Trinity College Dublin regularly. The
training programmes have been developed based on core needs identified in Indian
context and adapted to reflect the specific academic needs of Thapar faculty. The
training of all academic staff and on-going professional development has been
instrumental in establishing the culture necessary for implementing the outcome-based
education.

To remain in the forefront on the scientific and technology development and to share the
experience and knowledge, Institute is actively involved in collaborative programmes with
international organizations/universities. A number of collaborative works are under
operation with Universities, Labs and other organizations. Institute has several MoUs with
reputed Universities abroad. A brief update is given below for the academic partnerships
with the following institutes:

 Trinity College Dublin, Ireland

 Tel Aviv University, Israel
 University of Groningen, Netherlands
 University of New South Wales, Australia

Trinity College Dublin: Trinity is a strategic partner with activities spread across the
university. During the past three years, Trinity has mentored the academic programs,
helped us reform our governance and academic procedures and is actively mentoring
some of our young faculty. During the year 2016-17, a team lead by CBoG, Mr Vederah
visiting Dublin in September 2016. Trinity team later visited Thapar Institute of Engineering
and Technology in January 2017 for an academic review. Mr Gautam Thapar, President
TIET and Mr Vederah visited Trinity in May this year and held discussions on wide range of
topics related to academics, joint programs and research. Trinity Provost visited TIET earlier
this year for partnership review meetings.

Tel Aviv University, Israel: We are exploring the possibility of recommending some students
from Thapar Institute of Engineering and Technology to join the International Program in
Electrical Engineering at TAU in 2+2 mode. Prof Ehud Heyman visited Thapar Institute of
Engineering and Technology in May 2017 and reviewed our programs. The mapping of the
curricula at both institutions is currently ongoing. We propose to sponsor two to three post-
doctoral positions for our young members of staff in School of Engineering at TAU on
agreed thematic research areas. The post-docs holders will spend approximately one year
at TAU and contribute to the development of a research culture at TIET. Three candidates
were sponsored to complete summer offerings at TAU (2017) in Cyber, IP, Innovation and
Entrepreneurship and Food security etc. We are also exploring the Clinical/Cognitive
psychology program to collaborate with our new MA psychology program. There are also
options for one semester exchange for the BE-MBA integrated program at the master’s
level when the students move for their MBA program at Porter School of Environmental
Studies.

University of Groningen: We have tied up with University of Groningen for setting up a

Venture Lab at TIET. 18 faculty members were trained at Groningen during from the last
two years.

University of New South Wales (UNSW): TIET signed a MoU with UNSW on April 7, 2017 with
scoping the areas of partnering. Dialogue with a detailed proposal has been sent to UNSW
for developing a comprehensive partnership. A Credit transfer program at UG/PG will be
on offer and short-term mobility programs (typically 3-12 weeks) for UNSW students to
collaborate and explore research opportunities will also be discussed.
