Faculty and Staff members from MUET and SSUET Karachi were invited to take part in an Erasmus+ KA107 Staff Mobility exchange program at Politecnico di Milano for two weeks. The mobility took place within the framework of ERASMUS+ Teaching Mobility and in accordance with the Teaching Programme. The delegation of MUET was led by Prof Dr Bhawani Shankar Chowdhry whereas the delegation of SSUET was led by Prof Dr Muhammad Aamir. During the visit, all staff members delivered their presentations and discussed their research work as well. There was a sequence of visits to various laboratories and learning platforms as well. The delegation also visited the Pakistani Consulate in Milan and met with the Honourable Consulate General Her Excellency Madam Aqsa Nawaz who appreciated the exchange programs and projects being done by Pakistani Universities. Being a member of BoG HEC, Prof Dr Bhawani Shankar discussed various collaborations which can be done under the umbrella of HEC and PEC. President QS World Merit Pakistan Engr Muhammad Zakir Shaikh also briefed about the various projects regarding Sustainable Development Goals and their impacts on society.
The delegation also visited the Competency Development INDUSTRY 4.0 Centre of Politecnico Milano Italy. It was really surprising to see that they have turned sick Industry into Competence Centre Industry 4.0 which provides a wide range of knowledge, methodologies, and digital tools that encompass the entire product lifecycle: from the design to the engineering, from the production management to the delivery to the customer, and the end of the product life cycle. The one-of-a-kind large demo center spans 2,500 sqm, hosting 20 use cases, training classrooms, co-working, and meeting spaces. The unique growth path towards digital transformation relies on different stages: to inform and show the technologies of Industry 4.0, to explain them with specific training sessions, and transfer and implement the outcomes through dedicated projects. The Staff also visited PolifabLab, The National University Library (Bibliotecanazionaleuniversitaria in Italian) in Turin, Italy, which is one of the country’s main libraries. Many projects for academic and research work and projects for developing research collaboration in the areas of common interest were also discussed.n
