Expert Insight, , , , , , ,

If you happened to visit the Mechanical Engineering department or the Microfluidics Lab recently, you would have found a teenager deep in conversation with the research scholars. Not unusual? Then consider the fact that this young girl, not yet out of school, had travelled all the way from Singapore and elected to do her summer internship at IIT Kharagpur to resolve a question that was bothering her – to do engineering or not?
