Engineering and technical education

Engineering and tech education is always treated as being dull. I studied at a premier institution: IIT Delhi. The teachers were all very knowledgaeable and many of them emminent in their fields. But few could make the class interesting or give a holistic view or expose us to applications of what is being taught. The result: engineering was reduced to mathematical operations. The real world seemed far away.
The situation is worse now. Engineering colleges have mushroomed and faculty is scarce. To hope for a teacher who can make engineering look like romance is far fetched
I would like to make a difference. Can we use technology to make engineering interesting and engaging?
E learning
Gaming
Performing arts
Would like to put them to use
