Idea Labs by AICTE
Idea Labs are geared towards the new age of learning by encouraging students towards availing STEM education. Through hands-on experience with cutting-edge technologies, students will develop more imagination and creativity.
What are Idea Labs by AICTE?
AICTE-IDEA (Idea Development, Evaluation & Application) Labs is a scheme by the Indian Govt. that encourages students towards STEM Education. It aims to give students an enhanced hands-on experience.
The labs also encourage a learning-by-doing approach and product visualization. Using the labs, we will promote creativity and imagination among engineering graduates. Apart from getting training in 21st Century Skills, students will also develop critical-thinking, problem-solving, and design-thinking skills.
Idea Labs: Aim
Compared to conventional labs, Idea Labs emphasize bringing all facilities under one roof which can enable students to learn creative thinking, collaboration, and problem-solving skills. The idea behind the labs involves transforming the entire engineering education with labs like IDEA Labs in all colleges.
The focus would be on graduating engineers who will use equipment, tools, and consumables to perform their tasks.
The ultimate aim is to create a network of IDEA Labs across the nation.
Activities Under Idea Labs
The Activities under the Idea Labs cover a large set of people, from faculty, and students to industrial participants. The lab activities contain Skilling Programs, Bootcamps, Ideation Workshops, Internships, various Awareness Programs, Exhibitions and so on!
The trainees will learn a wide range of skills spanning from handling the equipment, programming, and 3D printing, generating ideas, and even presenting their ideas to the faculties.
Types of Equipment Under Idea Labs
The IDEA Labs will have Mandatory Equipment, Mandatory Consumables, Mandatory Tools, Electrical Tools and Networking Tools, and Optional Equipment and Consumables (please visit the AICTE IDEA Labs website for a complete list of equipment).
