01 | FACULTY EXCELLENCE 

Build a future-ready faculty ecosystem through stronger development pathways, communities of practice and learning approaches. 

02 | INDUSTRY COLLABORATION 

Strengthen industry participation through Project Drona, an industry-aligned curriculum framework, mentors and capstone projects. 

03 | THOUGHT LEADERSHIP 

Position HYSEA as a trusted knowledge partner through skills-gap research, future-skills reports and a podcast/webinar series. 

Why participate?

  • The talent pipeline is an industry-wide responsibility. The council gives industry leaders an opportunity to influence how future talent is developed – while bringing real-world industry needs into academia. 

Help shape the talent the industry will depend on next.
