Jyothi Engineering College prepares students to become T-Shaped professionals, i.e., professionals who have in-depth expertise in their discipline as well as a breadth of competencies required in the twenty-first century. Industry seeks engineers with these skills. The vertical bar on the T-shaped professional is an indication of the depth of knowledge and skills in their chosen engineering stream whereas the horizontal bar represents the person's competencies in interdisciplinary areas and life skills. This contextual knowledge helps in giving students a broader perspective. T-shaped skills are – or a T-shaped professional has – qualities that make that personnel more versatile and valuable as they possess excellent knowledge and skills in specific areas and are good at working with others in a collaborative way. In order to train our students to become “T” shaped professionals, so that they are “future ready”, we have set up an Incubation Centre, viz. Integrated Industrial Incubation Centre (IIIC), in association with TATA Technologies.

Fab lab provide widespread access to modern means for invention. They began as an outreach project from MIT's Centre for Bits and Atoms (CBA), which was transformed into a collaborative and global network. Fab Foundation was formed in 2009 to facilitate and support the growth of international fab lab networks as well as the development of regional capacity-building organizations.
