Dr. Bill Angelakos, Associate Dean, Design Programs, Humber, tours the Mechanical Engineering Department at Parul Institute of Engineering & Technology with Professor Sohail Siddiqi.
Humber has partnered with Parul Institute of Engineering & Technology (PIET) of Gujarat, India. The partnership permits PIET’s rising third-year Bachelor of Engineering students to receive credit from PIET for 3-6 weeks of studies at Humber’s School of Applied Technology.
To formally announce the new cooperation, a delegation from Humber is currently in Vadodara, Gujarat to meet PIET administration and participate in a media event. The delegation includes Diane Simpson (Dean, International), Bill Angelakos (Associate Dean, School of Applied Technology), and Tania Spoljaric-Sherwood (Manager, International Recruitment and Market Development). The visit included a presentation by Angelakos to 108 of Parul’s engineering students and a tour of Parul Institute’s Waghodia campus.
This partnership follows a 2014 MOU signed with Parul Institute of Business Administration (PIBA), one of 19 institutions within the Parul Group of Institutes. That agreement permits PIBA Bachelor of Business Administration graduates to receive credits toward the first two years of a number of Humber’s Bachelor of Commerce programs. This new PIET summer program partnership realizes earlier hopes of developing further pathways allowing Humber staff and students the opportunity to engage in exchange initiatives in India through Parul Group of Institutes.
