Telangana State Board of Technical Education and Training (TSBTET) has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Birla Institute of Technology and Science (BITS) Pilani-Hyderabad’s ‘Work Integrated Learning Programmes’ (WILP) division, in an effort to design, develop, and deploy Technology Enabled Laboratories (TEL) for polytechnics and engineering institutions in the State.
TEL project would be funded by TSBTET and would be executed in multiple phases for a period of two years i.e. from designing the remote and virtual labs in select domains and programmes to developing the software interface and selecting the lab equipment, to developing lab exercises and associated digital content, and finally training several faculty members in few select institutions, said an official release on Thursday.
BITS Pilani-Hyderabad WILP has deployed about 10 remote labs — physical labs, which are accessible from anywhere and at any time — and 26 virtual labs that allow for software simulation studies of various phenomena, which may be extremely challenging to study in the real environment or physical laboratories.
