About
S. Patii is a leading figure in engineering education innovation, with a primary focus on project-based learning (PBL) and scalable robotics education. Their most impactful work centers on democratizing access to hands-on technical training through large-scale, online competitions. Patii’s landmark paper, "Learning by competing and competing by learning," details the e-Yantra Robotics Competition (eYRC), an initiative that brought PBL to 500 students from 131 teams across India. This work, with 20 citations, demonstrates a novel model for delivering remote, hands-on training that overcomes geographical and infrastructural barriers. Further, Patii’s research on the "e-Yantra lab setup initiative" (8 citations) tackles the critical lack of robotics labs and trained mentors in Indian engineering colleges, proposing a sustainable framework for both knowledge creation and infrastructure deployment. By addressing the multi-disciplinary challenge of embedded systems education, Patii has created a replicable blueprint for scaling technical education, directly impacting how thousands of engineering students gain practical skills. Their work stands as a testament to using competitive, collaborative platforms to bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and real-world application in STEM fields.
