COMEDK has launched an initiative called COMED KARES this year to help students from participating institutions to become job-ready by providing skill enhancement courses. As part of the COMED KARES initiative, eight innovative hubs have been established in Karnataka, including one in Mangaluru, each covering an area of 5000 sq ft with state-of-the-art equipment such as Wood routing, Laser cutting, 3D printers, AR-VR equipment, Hand tools, Computer SW, UI-UX tools, and more.
The Innovation Hubs offer programs such as Rapid Prototyping, Robotics, Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, and the Internet of Things (IOT). With this initiative, Karnataka has become the first state to introduce skill-based training to private engineering colleges, stated The New Indian Express report.
