This book contains selected papers from the symposium on Engineering Pedagogy organised in honour of Professor Amitabha Ghosh and his Lecture Series on Evolution of Classical Mechanics. It covers evolution of mechanics from ancient times to modern days and good pedagogical practices among engineering and science faculty. The content includes chapters on challenges in engineering education, intellectual property rights, professional ethics, manufacturing education, additive manufacturing in engineering curricula, among others. The volume necessitates an efficient and effective pedagogical approach from engineering educators. This book will be of interest to those in teaching across all disciplines of engineering.
