For economic growth and prosperity, the need is to produce professional engineers by imparting quality education to the students. Guided and graded classroom instructions, interactive tutorial sessions, hands-on laboratory experience, and interaction with successful entrepreneurs and visiting faculty will help the students to develop self-confidence to face the future and turn the problems into opportunities. This is the primary objective at ACE besides granting a degree. The vision is for educating a 'complete person' for a life of service and leadership by focusing on a value-oriented curriculum, dedicated to educating students for competence, conscience, and compassion. When Ambala College of Engineering and Applied Research (ACE) was started, it was often said that applied research was not possible at B.Tech level, especially in the new institutes. However, the vision of the founders was very clear that this is the need of the hour. Unless a change in the direction of engineering education was brought about, the quality of engineers in the country will not improve
To achieve the above goals it was necessary to establish a transparent system. This was accomplished by, among other things, surrendering 100% of the management quota seats to the University for admission by merit only. A good academic environment was also created and the faculty was encouraged to stay on-campus.
