Framework for Knowledge Management in Engineering Institute

The present Indian Technical Education needs to adopt to the rapidly changing technological changes and bridge the gap between academics and Industry needs. With the ever changing expectations of the learner, we need to adapt to the technology to a larger extent to share knowledge. Knowledge sharing using technology is the need of the hour today. Institutes will have the best resources with lot of skills and experience. This resulting knowledge has to be stored and managed effectively resulting in a vast knowledge bank. Retrieving the tacit knowledge of the teachers of the Institute will always be a big challenge. Knowledge, being the most important resource needs to be managed effectively. Knowledge Management not only retrieves and stores the existing knowledge but also supports the growth of new knowledge. Most educational institutions have some type of Information systems in place to store knowledge, but there is lot of barriers that makes the sharing of knowledge difficult. There should be a proper framework to store assimilate and share knowledge in an institution. To cater to the knowledge needs of the institution, a framework for the knowledge management is designed. This system is designed keeping in mind the requirements of an Indian Technical Institute. This system will be used for creating, assimilating, sharing and overall Knowledge Management of an Institution.
