In order to nurture engineers as entrepreneurs, Hyderabad Software Exporters Association (HYSEA) is organising a five-week long product engineering and entrepreneurship workshop at JNTU along with Telangana Academy for Skill and Knowledge (TASK).
The workshop was formally launched on Thursday by JNTU - H vice-chancellor Shailaja Ramaiyer and HYSEA President Ramesh Loganathan. The objective of the workshop is refine tech product ideas (and tech-product-entrepreneurs) from engineering students in a guided structured summer programme that will end with a demo prototype of the idea.
It will also help create excitement around ideas, products and product entrepreneurship. This will soon be part of the JNTU curriculum as a summer course to be continued as the final year project to help build appreciation and practical understanding of product engineering and with a secondary objective of seeding new start-ups through products proposed and prototyped in the workshop.
The workshop proposal has two parts-- faculty development (product engineering, contemporary technologies like mobile/cloud, and IoT) and summer workshop for students. Faculty development has been taken up through three short workshops by the industry from March-May. The same faculty will be at the summer workshop as mentors to the student teams at the workshop; and will also experience the product engineering workshop up close.
In the pilot this summer, 26 colleges, 52 faculties, 230+ students will be building 78 IoT products for Smart City use cases. Each college has nominated two young faculty members and nine students who will work in teams of three. In all there will be 78 teams, each ideating and building a product in the structured 5 - week workshop.
With extensive guidance, industry and start-up mentoring and inspiring talks, the workshop aims to enthuse and excite the faculty and students attending the workshop about products. The focus for this workshop is on IoT (Internet of Things) and mobile for Smart City use cases.
