Achieving quality excellence in Indian engineering education: modelling and analysis using system dynamics

Abstract

As the Indian industry becomes globally competitive in several

sectors, one of the critical factors is the success of the engineering and technical

education. The objective of this paper is to present a research study initiated for

developing an integrated framework for quality excellence in engineering

education. About 20 quality excellence models and international quality awards

were studied in depth and it was found that almost all models lack predictive

ability. In order to incorporate predictive ability of the quality excellence

models, system dynamics methodology was used in the study. The system

dynamics model thus developed for predicting quality excellence was used to

generate various scenarios and analysed.

which are presented in this paper.
