Who is a Future-ready Contributor?
In this topic, students understand the new
work environment, expectations from future 3 hrs lab sessions

ready contributor. This enables students to facilitator led)
transform their expectation of themselves in
work
Self-esteem & Growth Identity
In this topic, students learn how to develop a
2 deeper and more resilient self esteem and how Same as above
Part 1 : to adopt a growth identity/ mindset, that is
Developing more appropriate to the demands of the future
self-efficacy workplace.
and basic Become a Creator of one’s destiny
inner strength In a “victim stance”, we see the career
environment as full of difficulties and hurdles.
We feel powerless or blame our
circumstances for not having many
opportunities. This makes us fearful of
3 uncertainty and makes us settle for jobs where Same as above
we remain mediocre. In this topic, students
discover the “creator of destiny stance” to
challenges and situations. This stance helps
them take ownership & responsibility to shape
destiny, build a new future & find answers to
challenges; and stop being complainers.
Achieving Sustainable Success
In this topic, students discover how to achieve
sustainable or lasting success, by making
themselves success-worthy. Where their focus
shifts to building one’s “engine of success”
rather than being on chasing the “fruits of
success”. This is important, because over a
lifetime of work, all people go through ups

success continue to contribute steadily,
irrespective of whether fruits come or not.
This helps them make better choices in life,
that leads to steady success & long-term
career fulfillment in an uncertain world.
Career Development Pathways for a
5 Same as above
changing world
B. Tech (Metallurgical & Materials) Syllabus from Admission Batch 2018-19 6th Semester

In this topic, students explore a range of


diverse “career development models” and the
possibilities for contribution each opens up to
them. This helps them open up hidden
opportunities that such an environment offers.
And free themselves from a herd mentality
when making career choices.
Make an impact in every part of one’s life
In this topic, students learn how to expand the
contribution possible in any role they have.
6 This helps them take charge of own career Same as above
growth & discover their power to contribute
in any role or job.
Think Solutions
The market environment in which
organizations are operating, is becoming
increasingly dynamic and uncertain. So,
employers are increasingly seeking out people
who can innovate and figure out solutions in
7 the face of any challenge (unlike in the past Same as above
when it was the people who were most
efficient and productive, who were valued by
organizations). At the heart of innovation lies
this way of thinking of “finding solutions”
rather than “seeing problems or roadblocks”.
Students learn how to build this way of
thinking, in this topic.
Value Thinking

innovation, but it may also come from
individuals in
focusing on the right things and identifying
the world
what really matters – both to the company
and to the customers. In this topic, students
learn how to build this capability.
Engaging Deeply
The environment we live in is becoming
increasingly complex because more and more
things are getting interconnected, new fields
are emerging, technologies are rapidly
9 changing, capabilities and knowledge one is Same as above
trained in will become fast obsolete. In such a
scenario, the student’s ability to quickly
understand and master what is going on, dive
