Saintgits aligns itself with the objectives of IFEES by prioritizing excellence in engineering education, research, and sustainable development. The institution fosters a strong culture of innovation and academic rigor, ensuring that its students are equipped with cutting-edge technical knowledge and critical thinking skills. As an autonomous institution, we are able to formulate our curriculum to incorporate the latest trends in engineering education, such as providing pathways for students to take year-long internships, while still completing their degrees within the prescribed timeframes. Saintgits also actively encourages sustainability through its academic and extracurricular programs, focusing on creating solutions that address environmental and societal challenges. Sustainability, as a core subject is incorporated into all branches curricula, and a sustainability design project is included as part of the regular coursework for all students.
To contribute to the development of IFEES, Saintgits aims to share its expertise in engineering education methodologies, sustainable practices, and innovative research with the global community. It seeks to enhance international collaboration through partnerships, faculty and student exchange programs, and participation in global conferences. By contributing its insights and adopting best practices from IFEES and its members, Saintgits aspires to play a pivotal role in shaping the future of engineering education and addressing critical global issues in line with IFEES’ mission.
