The Center of Excellence for Blockchain Technology was inaugurated at MIT World Peace University
The center is being developed in collaboration with Snapper FutureTech
MIT-World Peace University announced the inauguration of a new Center of Excellence focused on Blockchain technology within the university’s School of Computer Engineering and Technology. The new CoE is a collaboration between Snapper FutureTech, Pune and MIT-WPU. The exercise is initiated by the School of Computer Engineering and Technology and the Center for Industry-Academic Partnerships (CIAP).
The CoE aims to promote excellence in the development of youth and practitioner training programs in Ethereum and Hyperledger Lab setup for software development, faculty training, blockchain applications for pilot understanding of applications, faculty ToT (skill and capacity building), blockchain entrepreneurship mentoring, blockchain software development training for faculty and students, among many other areas. The CoE will play a critical role in implementing a comprehensive model of teacher education and skill development through modern laboratory facilities, career counseling, seminars and workshops, and internship and certification guidance services – all under one roof.
Dr. Prasad D. Khandekar, Dean of Engineering so, “Technologies such as blockchain are of enormous value in today’s time when job dynamics are rapidly changing and evolving. We at MIT-WPU want every student to graduate with skills that will prepare them for the new job of the future. We are determined to achieve the same goal through this unique Center of Excellence, which will equip students with the applications related to the use and development of blockchain technology.“
In keeping with MIT-World Peace University’s vision to promote the growth and development of its students while contributing to the larger goal of nation-building, all assistance provided by the CoE will be free of charge to students and faculty members of MIT-WPU. The CoE will be followed by the formation of a student-led Blockchain Club for students and faculty members by the end of this year.
