Learning pattern change in Engineering Education

• The learning of engineering has been transferred from the workplace to the schools• Establishment of theory and theory has been substituted for practice and application

• Observation and practice (Workshop base)• Supplemented by whatever instruction was relevant and available

• E learning• Virtual Laboratory• Remote Laboratory• Institute and Industry Collaboration• Web based learning• Distance Education

Benefits and Constraints of ICT in Education:

Benefits : Constraints:• Anywhere, Anytime, Anyone Learning• Substantial Cost and Time Savings• Innovative and Interactive Learning• Improved Collaboration• Just-in-Time Access to Timely Information• Self-paced Learning• Allows Learning to be Broken down into Units • Allows to combat faculty shortage

IT’S REALLY ROSY ??

• Level of interactivity• Strong ICT Infrastructure • Adequate Bandwidth Support• Budget constraints• Attitudinal constraints • Thorough training• Content development

HOOPS !!!!!!

• Electricity is most versatile form of energy

• Development of country rests largely on power sector progress

• Increasing Global demand of Electricity

• Implementation of Grid Concepts

• Testing for the equipment

• Development work on equipments for conducting research

• Economical and reliable operation of high voltage transmission system

Why High Voltage Engineering ?

High voltage:Minimize costs in conductors, towers and equipmentMinimize power loss to increase efficiencyThe higher the voltage the smaller the current and therefore the smaller the losses

P = V * I

Status of High Voltage Engineering Education in India ?

No of Engineering Institutes in India > 1000

Imparting High Voltage Engineering Education in No (Apx) = 275

No of High Voltage laboratory in Institutes = 19

High Voltage Virtual and ICT enabled Laboratory are the effective tool for e learning and distance education in High Voltage Engineering course

Website will help to access the students, faculty members and utility members

ICT enabled High voltage laboratory first of it’s kind in the world can be accessed with proper authentication from any where in the world

ICT enabled High Voltage laboratory culminates the “access to all” opportunity to every incumbent to build the trust between industries, Government agencies and individual which is a powerful tool for the development of underdeveloped and developing countries

Visited University of South Australia, Australia and Caledonian College of Engineering, Muscut, Oman for successful remote operation of ICTRHVL and initiatives are taken to join the consortium of remotely operated Electrical Laboratory consists of Australia, Spain and Portugal at present.
