Value Added Courses / OCC

Value Added Education The Value Added Education Courses aim to provide additional learner centric graded skill oriented technical training with the primary objective of improving the employability skills of engineering students of MCET. Optional VAE courses that will further improve the employability prospects of the students will be offered outside regular contact hours on optional basis, and interested students can join.

One credit courses Here the plan is to bridge the perceived technical competency gaps of students by providing training in employability enhancing technical subjects through mandatory one credit courses and additional training through optional courses. The courses focus on skill development and more than 50% of the time is spent on practical training and problem solving, to provide the requisite understanding towards application of academic topics from engineering disciplines into real world engineering projects.

The main objectives of the program are:
  To provide students an understanding of the expectations of industry.
  To improve employability skills of engineering students of MCET
  To bridge the skill gaps and make students industry ready.
  To provide an opportunity to students to develop inter-disciplinary skills

Since the individual capabilities, aptitudes and needs of students vary widely, and since only 30 hours is available during regular contact hours for such value added courses, a two-pronged strategy is proposed to achieve the objectives outlined above.
