BHUBANESWAR: SOA University has collaborated with L&T Technology Services Ltd (LTTS) to set up a Centre of Excellence (CoE) and Teaching Learning Centre (TLC) for MedTech.
SOA’s vice-chancellor Pradipta Kumar Nanda said LTTS and SOA will also co-develop curriculum, courses or programmes focused on emerging technologies, particularly in MedTech, such as AI, for integration into SOA curriculum and also deliver the engineering components of the courses. “The activities will also include establishment of LTTS labs at SOA and utilisation of existing SOA labs for training, internship, certification for educational and research activities,” he said.
