The document proposes introducing a new elective subject called "Shilpashastra" or Engineering Philosophy of Ancient India into engineering curriculums. It argues that Indian students have been deprived of ancient Indian wisdom and technical knowledge. The proposed subject would cover topics like site selection, natural resources, water resources, mining and metallurgy, transportation, architecture, town planning, machinery and environmental science from an ancient Indian perspective over two semesters. Students would learn through self-study, assignments, field visits and an open book exam. The goal is to enhance students' leadership and presentation skills while reconnecting them with their technical heritage.
