Indo US Academy was a joint venture of Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute NewYork and College of Engineering Pune.The new program, launched by the Office of Undergraduate Education, brings together students and faculty experts from three universities for intercultural collaboration around pressing multidisciplinary challenges facing engineers and researchers of every nation.

Students from Rensselaer, the Pune College of Engineering, and the Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur stayed for seven days in late October at a private resort outside the city of Pune in western India. Nine undergraduates and three experts from each university spent the time presenting, lecturing, and collaborating.

The weeklong academy revolved around three critical multidisciplinary topics: energy and environment, electronics and devices, and modeling and simulation. Another focus was the business and entrepreneurial environments of these three areas.
