The objective is to transform engineering education with such a Lab in all colleges and for this many must proactively encourage all students to use the IDEA Lab, offer incentives to interested students as well as support projects by providing online learning materials.
Teachers must also get trained in these Labs to know their scope and opportunities in teaching learning processes as well as research and development projects. They should be trained on these facilities and get involved in activities, projects, internships which involve utilizations of such Labs.
