US, India to participate in providing e-learning p
Funding for the US participation in the program is coming from Qualcomm, Microsoft and Cadence Design.
By expanding opportunities for international academic collaborations in critical fields , this partnership will not only help keep the University of California competitive, but it will help drive global innovation and economic prosperity.
Under the agreement,Replica Mulberry, UC Berkeley and UC San Diego, as well as Carnegie Mellon University, Cornell University, the State University of New York at Buffalo, and the Case Western Reserve University will encourage engineering faculty to spend a semester of their sabbatical at Amrita University in Tamil Nadu.
Amrita will extend the use of its e-learning centre,designer replica handbags, making it possible to be beamed over Edusat, a satellite launched by the Indian Space Research Organisation (Isro) to transmit educational programming to multiple educational institutions throughout India.
Three US research centres are partners to the agreement: UCs Centre for Information Technology Research in the Interest of Society (CITRIS), the California Institute for Telecommunications and Information Technology (Calit2) and Carnegie Mellons CyLab.
The program will expose US faculty to potential research partnerships in India, and could also help reverse the recent decline in applications to US engineering schools from India and other countries.
The American Society for Engineering Education has reported that nearly 58% of students enrolled in Ph.D engineering programs in the US are not US citizens.
The program will focus initially on engineering and computer science, information and communication technologies, but courses will also include materials science, biotechnology and bioinformatics, nanotechnology,Hermes Handbags, medical sciences, and others.
