In Electrical dept. ASU agreed to consider the proposal of co-guide from ASU for the projects of M.Tech / Ph D. students at YCCE.

Prof. Ravi Boparra, ASU faculty is consultant to National Grid of India, YCCE Electrical dept. may explore possible collaboration for consultancy as India representative.

ASUASU


“Global Capstone Design Programme at ASU”, The design programme is especially meant for aircraft design, where in team members from various disciplines design an aircraft, they are guided during the one semester course.

Team members from Singapore, Mexico and the USA participate in the programme. Overseas students are guided through videoconferencing and emails. Possibility of including MGI students in this project will be explored.

ASUASU

Points on MOUMGI and ASU will explore the program proposal 4+1

and 3+2 programsASU will inform MGI about the visit of its engineering

faculty members to India. This will enable MGI to send official invitations to the relevant faculty members thereby requesting them to offer guest lectures at MGI.

ASU faculty might be invited to co-chair / co-guide Ph.D. thesis guided by MGI faculty members.

ASU Entrepreneurship Programs Director might advice MGI in their entrepreneurship programs.

MGI faculty will apply to engineering master and Ph.D. programs at ASU. ASU and MGI will discuss the model to support this programme and will be detailed in the scope document.

ASUASU

Points on MOUASU and MGI will plan knowledge exchange

progrmmes at ASU for the engineering faculty members. MGI faculty members will visit ASU for one or two weeks during summer or times of year that are convenient. MGI faculty members will interact with the respective counterpart and will be exposed to ASU’s labs and research capabilities.

MGI students will apply to engineering master and Ph.D. programs at ASU as international students. ASU and MGI will discuss the model to support this program and will be detailed in scope document.

MGI and ASU will plan study programs at ASU for the MGI engineering students. Programs will be of one to two weeks at convenient times for both the institutions.
