engineers mobility across good number of advanced nations and
emerging economies.
 These graduates may get leadership positions and challenging

technology development opportunities.
 Faculty may also get invitation for lectures, research guidance, and
academic leadership / administration.
 Industry can hire graduates from accredited institutions for

innovation-intensive projects for higher profits.
