MEEd India 2026: Engineering Education Symposium

The Engineering Education Symposium 2026 is a premier collaborative platform. It brings together educational thought leaders, industry pioneers and policymakers to transform mechanical engineering education for Industry 4.0.

Engineering Education Reimagined: From “TELL" to “ASK"

Moving away from the traditional broadcast approach of operating in a “TELL” model where experts prescribe solutions, MEEd India 2026 proposes a strategic shift to an “ASK” model. This transforms the symposium into a participatory, collaborative, and co-created agenda-setting platform.
