INTRODUCTION OF ADDITIONAL COURSE(S) AND/OR INCREASE /

VARIATION IN INTAKE FOR THE ACADEMIC YEAR 2011-2012 IN THE

EXISTING INSTITUTIONS.

CHAPTER I: PREAMBLE

1.1 Introduction

Model Engineering College is located in the District of Ernakulam in the state of Kerala, located inthe South-Western part of the Indian Peninsula under the Union Republic of India. Geographicalboundaries of Kerala are Western Ghats in the East and Arabian Sea in the West. Tamilnadu andKarnataka are the neighboring states.

Model Engineering College is situated in Thrikkakara, in Ernakulam District. This area isconsidered to be the industrial belt of Kerala. A number of industries are closely located to theinstitution. Hindustan Machine Tools Ltd., Kochi Refineries Ltd, and FACT are some of them. TheInfopark and the Proposed Smart city are at stones throw away from the institution. One of the labsof the Defense Department- Naval Physical & Oceanographic Lab (NPOL) is situated very close tothe institution and there is substantial interaction between these organizations. Cochin University of

Science And Technology (CUSAT) is situated very close to this institution.

One of the most important locational advantages of Model Engineering College is that it is closelysituated to VSNL gate which is the landing point of two important fibre optic networks: SAE-ME-WE-3 and SAFE. Because of this reason the Internet port charges are 30% less than that in othercities.

1.2 Technical Education & Industry Scenario

Over the years, Kerala has had the most scientific and well-defined educational and socialdevelopment systems. This has resulted in making Kerala the only 100% literate state in India andoffering world at large highly educated and trained manpower in abundance. Another significantfactor regarding Kerala is the female literacy, which is 87.86% as per 2001 census against thenational average of 54.16%. Also more than 10% of Keralas population is outside the state,working in other states or abroad. This exemplifies the pertinent characteristics of the people andalso the scarcity of job opportunities within the state.Technical education is the most sought-aftersector in Kerala by the people at large , for it ensures a secure profession.

But all is not well with Keralas education scenario. Eventhough there are 140 postgraduateColleges, 7 Universities 96 Engineering Colleges, one NIT along with a long list of R&Dorganizations, there is a dearth of quality, infrastructure and human resources uniformly across the


2/28

state. There is an urgent need for more investment in the education sector so that Kerala continuesto be in the forefront of social reformation and the quality is internationally acceptable.
