| Abstract | This paper describes a new four-year Bachelor of Electrical Engineering program being introduced in British Columbia (BC), Canada at the BC Institute of Technology (BCIT). The program addresses the need in industry for engineering graduates that have a solid practical focus as well as the expected theoretical depth and topical breadth of knowledge. The program works in tandem with a nationally accredited two-year diploma of Electrical and Computer Engineering Technology. The program structure allows both the existing diploma program and the degree program to be optimized based on their respective priorities and market needs, i.e., there is no need to impose major changes on the diploma program in order to accommodate the degree program. The result is a pair of programs that allow students to graduate with either a diploma or a degree, and also to return after receiving their diploma to complete their degree later. This structure provides, in effect, a two-stage entrance evaluation process which allows the program to draw from a broader pool of prospective engineers, thereby providing a path to the profession to people that may otherwise have missed the opportunity. The programpsilas curriculum uses a contextual or spiral approach, where applications are introduced prior to theory, and then revisited once the theory is developed. While the program described here is designed to help address the shortage of electrical engineers in Canada, similar conditions prevail in the United States and elsewhere, and similar programs may be useful in addressing these shortages. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
