Engineering education is undergoing a fundamental shift, moving from traditional academic instruction toward immersive, industry-aligned learning environments. Prof. Sanjeev Bedi’s session will explore how universities can cultivate entrepreneurial acumen and practical problem-solving skills, drawing from the University of Waterloo’s renowned cooperative education framework. He will examine how early hands-on design challenges and capstone projects equip graduates to drive real-world impact and navigate modern industry demands.

 

Join us for an engaging conversation on building the next wave of engineers and innovators through experiential and industry-oriented approaches.
