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.
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.
Stakeholder Engagement Framework
The symposium will transition from a broadcast-style conference into a collaborative dialogue across three key groups

Academia (Faculty & HODs)
Define needs for modernising teaching practices, faculty upskilling and integrating emerging technologies.

Students (Future Engineers)
Share your views on course content, access to modern tools and the need for enhanced industry exposure.

Industry (Employers & Tech Leaders)
Outline workplace gaps and actionable strategies for industry-academia collaboration.
Note: Participants can also choose a one-day pass for IMECE India 2026, which includes access to the MEEd India Seminar.
We invite faculty, students, and industry leaders to share their perspectives on the future of engineering education through a short survey. Your insights on current challenges, emerging opportunities, talent readiness, and educational transformation will help shape the agenda of the MEEd India Symposium 2026.
