The Delhi College of engineering has determined its uniqueness in order to be an effective agent of change in engineering education for the 21 st century. Our mission consists of three part, education, research and service. Furthermore, university tradition is one inclusion and openness, both in the students we educate and the society we serve. Our commitment is demonstrated by proper concern for the intellectual and personal well being of our students. Clear evidence for this point is found in the deep affection and high regard by which our alumni hold the Delhi College of engineering. Because, we are a large and comprehensive college of engineering, we have a demonstrable impact on technology and economic well being of the state and nation. In terms of enrollment and technical survey, we are in the top 10 colleges of engineering in India. Our programmers range from basic professional degree to advanced study leading to a doctorate. One notable competitive advantage is the high quality student population attracted to our institution. We can offer these students a comprehensive education experience. The industry and government agencies that hire our students receive the best quality graduates. Our contacts with industry, the large participation of students in professional organization, namely, IEEE & IEE, SAE, ASHRAE, ASME, SEM SOCCE etc. Connections of our college with other educational institutions in the country are testimony to the breath our institution. The Delhi College of engineering has a history of seeking partnership with government and industry in both research and service.
Engineering has a history for the future will be based on three fundamental requirements:
- Practice-oriented while firmly rooted in fundamentals.
- Learning-based
- Integrative and holistic.
The nature of the engineering profession revolves around the practice of engineering and is firmly rooted in fundamental. Indeed “To the engineers falls the job of clothing the bare bones of science with life, comfort and hope”. Engineering is a practical profession much like the domain of the physician. Certainly the underlying theories of medicine, anatomy, pharmacy etc. are necessary aspect of the education of medical doctors. However, no medical education is complete without a firm grounding in the practice of medicine in real life and death circumstance similarly, the engineer’s education is firmly rooted in science, engineering science and design and very necessary social science and humanities that defines the society in which we operate. But it is the practical training that allows the engineers to “doctor” to the technical of society. Traditionally, we have left a good portion of the practical training of our profession to industry. Industries have taken our raw engineering graduates and give them the necessary training to accomplish the assigned job, and over the time, an engineer becomes a “seasoned professional”. Whereas we, in the academy, have largely focused on engineering service to the extent we have created a profession largely taught by non-practitioners.
