Basic theory and fundamentals of every subject are imparted through experienced professors who have a wide exposure and have excelled in their respective teaching and research areas. The practical aspects are covered by inviting experienced / working professionals from the industry in specific areas to sharpen student’s grasp of the subject.

The industrial aspects are further strengthened by way of learning through actual field visits specific to programmes of study under the guidance of faculty members. In Addition, students are encouraged in preparation of assignments and presentation on critical aspects / areas of the course. This approach helps the students in developing better understanding and grasp of critical areas of the course and in-depth information on international operational and design standards. The students are also encouraged to understand practical aspects of theory through tutorials and assignments solving practical problems faced in the industry.

With a view to upgrade the students on the latest developments, in specific areas highly placed professional speakers are invited from the industry to discuss developments taking place in their respective areas followed by visits to national research laboratories / institutions of national importance. This exposes the students to working scientists and provides them an opportunity to develop familiarity with the problems / areas which are being investigated for future technological needs.

Another major step followed at UPES to make the learning process more practical for students is their summer internships for two months with the industry to work on well defined projects under the direct guidance of hard-core professionals. The projects for this purpose are chosen in advance as per the requirement of the industry / organizations and the students are asked to apply the knowledge gained while on campus to find solution or develop applications which help the industry to improve operations / efficiency.
