Recognizing that students have a fairly good foundation in the basic sciences when exercising their choice for engineering, it is the responsibility of teachers to put within reach the latest progress of engineering graduates. The motivation for this article is therefore the urgent need to overhaul the university curriculum by incorporating the latest technological developments that stimulate research and innovation while strengthening product design capabilities. As the focus shifts to applied basic science topics and core engineering fields, there must be active additional learning and interdisciplinary experience. The old format will be replaced with the new one which includes contemporary topics in applied mathematical and physical sciences, core engineering subjects and interdisciplinary elective courses combined with practical experience in simulation and design innovation. As students deal with real-world products and how to improve them using the latest technology, the possibility of patenting along with publication will increase. It will help refresh academic activity by focusing on design and innovation leading to skills for research and the generation of new ideas. The objective is achieved by creating a centralized structure equipped with the latest technologies in engineering faculties where students conduct group discussions and gain hands-on experience on products in the market through industry networking. Autonomous engineering colleges in India that are preparing to redefine the curriculum in line with the ABET guidelines for outcome-based education can set up these centers for output-based learning. Students will explore the possibility of improving the existing product through design innovation. The activity i…… half of the paper…… classroom lessons with learning through experimentation and experience is necessary. It is essential to incorporate current advances in science and technology into the engineering curriculum and update it urgently with an eye to the likely future trends of industry and the needs of society. Graduates will therefore be able to plan for the future equipped with today's technology and with the ability to incorporate the expected advances and expectations of industry and society. The message is that we need to start again from where we arrived today by taking advantage of rapid technological progress.
