Follow up
IUCEE Regional Centers established
15 IUCEE Regional Centers have been set up all over India to coordinate the follow up
Significant positive outcomes have been demonstrated with over 200 colleges all over India; Extensive follow up within colleges and regions as well as documented outcomes assessment is being continuously emphasized as measures of success; Regional leaders are continuously mentored
Amazing results of radical curriculum revisions resulting from teams of participants at the 2008 FLI have been documented For example, at BVB College of Engineering in Karnataka, all the college faculty has become immersed in transforming the culture of engineering education with dramatic improvements in student motivation and achievements
During 2008-2009, Indian faculty participants from 2008 FLI, conducted roughly 100 regional workshops directly impacting more than 3000 other faculty and 30,000 students
