BANGALORE Dec. 16. Visvesvaraya Technological University (VTU) today signed an MoU with the industrial solutions provider in infrastructure development, Ingersoll-Rand India, making it a partner in supporting education and training in various aspects of road technology.

The VTU and Ingersoll-Rand will collaborate in areas of faculty development, curriculum development, technology exchange, and support and will provide learning packages and training programmes. Ingersoll-Rand will provide guidance to professionals, faculty, and graduate students in civil and mechanical engineering at VTU in the field of highway technology and road construction.
