Best Mechanical Engineering University Country Wise

Image
Ranking of top few best mechanical engineering universities in a country is not an easy task. We have to take a deep dive into different analytics and ranking statistics of different universities offering a degree in mechanical engineering. Different surveys from students, faculty have to be carried out to understand the teacher student relationship of a university. Similarly, research papers published by an institute, student teacher ratio, educational statistics of faculty members, pass out ratio of students, quality jobs for students within one year after graduation, presence of alumni in top 100 companies, quality of technical education, links within industry and educational institutes worldwide, participation in technical events at world level,  students exchange programs, technical capability of labs, presence of international students/ faculty and availability of high-tech equipment are some of the factors which contribute to the ranking of best mechanical enginee...

DAILY NEWS   11 April 2017 Something’s missing… Halfdark/plainpicture   BY    Alice Klein Don’t like the seeds in tomatoes? You might be pleased to know that seedless ones have been created by gene editing. The technique will make it possible to make a much wider range of seedless fruits than is currently available – and also means farmers might not have to rely on declining bee populations. Whether we ever see such fruits on supermarket shelves, however, may depend on how regulators decide to treat gene-edited crops. Several types of seedless fruits, from bananas to cucumbers to grapes, are already widely available, but many have come about by luck rather than design. Seedless bananas are the result of  accidental crosses between subspecies , for instance, while other seedless fruits stem from spontaneous mutations. There are a few seedless varieties of tomato, but they have taken breeders ma...
