Thapar Institute of Engineering & Technology University (TU) has entered into an historic academic agreement to contemporize its academic systems and processes with Trinity College Dublin, the University of Dublin (TCD). As a result has harmonized the curriculum of the undergraduate engineering programs in line with TCD. TU understands that in the existing curriculum, the students spend much time in the class room and have limited involvement in project based and research led teaching. The course scheme has been finalized to completely sync with TCD. The idea is that an average student is able to experience the contemporisation program.

TU has adopted the learning outcomes approach to switch the focus from content based education and has shifted towards greater reliance on self-directed learning, mini-project within the modules, research-led teaching, use of project work and assignments. TU offers design or application-based engineering projects. Research led teaching has been evolved in terms of course content. All academic staff are encouraged and trained to develop modules associated with their research area and bring in cutting edge research ideas from their own research and of other eminent researchers. This is being achieved by involving the students in research activities which in many cases may mean re-exploring research findings which are already known. The students are introduced to the whole ethos of research in terms of what is called as “State of Art” and how research is conducted. The students are imparted skills to use information sources and also equip them to design and conduct experiments. The students are trained for research based (engineering) problem solving.

Department of Mechanical Engineering is applying for ABET this Year.

All the Departments and Schools of the University are certified as complying to the requirement of ISO 9001 by STQC. Implemented of ISO 9000: 2000 system for all academic procedures
