IntroductionIndia produced 401,791 engineers in 2003-04
and in 2004-05, the number of engineering graduates increased to 464,743 [1].
But only 25 per cent of them are employable[1].
Main Reason : lack of well qualified teachersPossible Solution :
Make IIT education accessible through Distance Education Cost Effective Global Reach

Introduction continued …IITB has been running the distance education
program since last 10 years. Currently in the form of CDEEP to provide:
Good quality courses taught by IIT Bombay faculty
To everyone At any place
Both synchronous and asynchronous modesBut number of students benefiting from CDEEP
live courses has not increased as expected

System Dynamics BasicsComputer simulation modeling for studying
and managing complex feedback systems, such as business, engineering, and social systems
Think in terms of cause-and-effect Focus on Feedback Loops

Causal Loop Diagramshows how one variable affects another. nodes represent variables and arrows (called
causal links) represent relationshipdifficult to infer the behavior of a system only

Stock and Flow Diagram cntd….SFD allows to represent relations among
variables in terms of equations.For Example
It becomes infeasible to solve as stocks and flows increase
Use computer simulatorsMany simulators are available, (none is open
source ) We used Vensim PLE by Ventana Systems, Inc. [4] Simulation result is time-history of variables

ObservationsNumber of Students becomes constant (=200
student) after 24 monthsIncreasing number of courses doesn’t helpBandwidth is the only bottleneck Server is always underutilizedLimitations
MHRD grants can be used to bring in more resources, e.g. Bandwidth
Student feedback does matterMarketing issues can not be ignored

ObservationsGrants can be spent for different resources
Bandwidth increase much neededIf bandwidth is increased, server will become
overloaded after 3 semestersNo. of courses limited by no. of studiosMarketing issues are very important
Feedback from students will influence no. of courses
Similarity of syllabus with other universities affects inflow

SDModel : FeaturesCurrent simulators are all proprietary
applicationsvery limited collaboration among them
No truly successful open source System Dynamics model builder currently available.
Studied SystemDynamics Simulator[8] Huge code without proper documentation
Prepared a higher level flowchart of a model and its constituent model components. Referred an initiative SD Info Model[9]

ConclusionSystem Dynamics proved to be an important
tool for modeling CDEEP system Models were verified by CDEEP staffResults obtained may help in improvement of
existing system

implementing them over the actual CDEEP system
