Dr. Sanjay Goel’s article on “Enriching Mechanical Engineering Education with Automation and Robotics” has been published in The Times of India Online. The article mentions Mechanical Engineering as the predecessor as well as the beneficiary of the other branches of engineering. It highlights how since ages, machines have played a crucial role in the birth and development of a number of civilisations. The article also talks about the new frontiers of industrial automation and the ever-increasing global demand for robotics & mechatronic systems. Today when Industry 4.0 is all about the fusion and coming together of a wide range of technologies, inter-disciplinary approach to problem solving, critical thinking, and interpersonal skills are forming the core of learning with a large number of Indian engineering universities adapting to it.
