Come August, Delhi University will offer B.Tech degrees in Computer Science and Engineering; Electronics and Communication Engineering; and Electrical Engineering. This was approved during the Executive Council meeting Friday.

A total of 360 students will be admitted under these, with 120 students for each B.Tech programme. Admissions will be done based on the JEE Mains score. The course structure, credit distribution and syllabi for the first two semesters of the programme have been finalised.

The EC also approved the four-year Integrated Teacher Education Programme (ITEP) from the 2023-24 academic session. This will be a pilot project, the university said. Vice-Chancellor Yogesh Singh also said it will not have any impact on the teacher education programme in place currently.

Shyama Prasad Mukherji College for Women, Mata Sundri College for Women and Jesus and Mary College have been granted approval to introduce ITEP by the National Council for Teacher Education (NCTE) from the coming session.

The Indian Express in May had reported that DUs Bachelor of Elementary Education (B.El.Ed) programme is set to be replaced with ITEP starting this year, which was met with opposition by several teachers.

Meanwhile, EC members Seema Das and Rajpal Singh Pawar opposed DUs strategic plan for the next 25 years which was presented in the meeting and later deferred. They said it is a clear blueprint for the privatisation and contractualisation of the university.

As reported by The Indian Express on June 3, Envisage DU 2047 includes several strategic goals such as a postgraduate programme in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, development of herbal products along with focus on drug discovery and nanomedicine, visits by at least five Nobel Laureates, and development of a science village.

The EC meeting also passed a resolution on capping the student-teacher ratio, which recently caused a furore among the teaching community.

Last month, the university had issued a notification stating that class sizes for lectures and tutorials have been capped at 60 and 30 respectively. Three EC members disapproved of the use of emergency powers by the V-C over the matter, terming it an anti-student and unacademic policy.

Other resolutions that were approved included the five-year LLB programme, setting up the Centre for Independence and Partition Studies, formation of a Tribal Studies Centre and a Masters programme in Hindu Studies.

The most you can lose on any stock (assuming you don't use leverage) is 100% of your money. But on a lighter note, a good company can see its share price rise well over 100%. Long term Shapir Engineering and Industry Ltd (TLV:SPEN) shareholders would be well aware of this, since the stock is up 141% in five years. It's even up 7.7% in the last week. But this might be partly because the broader market had a good week last week, gaining 4.4%.

Since the stock has added 671m to its market cap in the past week alone, let's see if underlying performance has been driving long-term returns.

View our latest analysis for Shapir Engineering and Industry

While the efficient markets hypothesis continues to be taught by some, it has been proven that markets are over-reactive dynamic systems, and investors are not always rational. One imperfect but simple way to consider how the market perception of a company has shifted is to compare the change in the earnings per share (EPS) with the share price movement.

Over half a decade, Shapir Engineering and Industry managed to grow its earnings per share at 4.4% a year. This EPS growth is lower than the 19% average annual increase in the share price. So it's fair to assume the market has a higher opinion of the business than it did five years ago. And that's hardly shocking given the track record of growth.

The image below shows how EPS has tracked over time (if you click on the image you can see greater detail).

It might be well worthwhile taking a look at our free report on Shapir Engineering and Industry's earnings, revenue and cash flow.

It is important to consider the total shareholder return, as well as the share price return, for any given stock. The TSR is a return calculation that accounts for the value of cash dividends (assuming that any dividend received was reinvested) and the calculated value of any discounted capital raisings and spin-offs. So for companies that pay a generous dividend, the TSR is often a lot higher than the share price return. We note that for Shapir Engineering and Industry the TSR over the last 5 years was 152%, which is better than the share price return mentioned above. This is largely a result of its dividend payments!

Although it hurts that Shapir Engineering and Industry returned a loss of 3.5% in the last twelve months, the broader market was actually worse, returning a loss of 10%. Longer term investors wouldn't be so upset, since they would have made 20%, each year, over five years. It could be that the business is just facing some short term problems, but shareholders should keep a close eye on the fundamentals. I find it very interesting to look at share price over the long term as a proxy for business performance. But to truly gain insight, we need to consider other information, too. Case in point: We've spotted 3 warning signs for Shapir Engineering and Industry you should be aware of, and 1 of them is a bit unpleasant.

To meet the UKs 2050 net zero targets and transition to a low-carbon economy, almost complete decarbonisation of the UKs housing stock is needed.

The race to net zero is heating up. At Ideal Heating, were engineering a greener future. Here, I discuss the vital role of manufacturers in the shift to renewable heating technologies

The Office for National Statistics reported in August 2022 that over a quarter of UK carbon emissions are produced by the nations 25 million homes.

That means decarbonising homes and supporting the drive to a net zero economy will require a transition from traditional gas boilers.

In response to this challenge, the Government has set a target of 600,000 heat pumps to be installed in UK homes annually by 2028. Thats a very ambitious goal, but we will do all we can to contribute.

At Ideal Heating, were rapidly transforming our business and the products we manufacture to support the transition to net zero.

Recently we launched Logic Air our new monobloc heat pump for the domestic market. This flagship new product represents a substantial investment from Ideal Heating in our technology, people and operations.

For generations, weve been at the forefront of the UK heating industry, and our market-leading boilers have kept homes warm and dry for over 100 years.

Now its time to hand the baton over to products such as Logic Air. Designed to deliver efficient, reliable low carbon heating, Logic Air will be a vital piece of the jigsaw as homes are converted from gas to renewable sources of energy.

We know heat pumps arent the only solution. A combination of technologies and products will be needed to decarbonise UK homes.

But were confident that Logic Air will become a staple at the heart of peoples homes, as our boilers have been for decades.

Behind all our products, including Logic Air, is a suite of a wealth of experience and expertise combined with world-class technology, customer support and training.

Our UK-based customer support team helps customers 364 days a year, providing a rapid, efficient response to their needs.

Theyre supported by a network of over 150 service engineers, providing a same or next-day response to customers nationwide.

It means if you need any help or support, well provide it quickly and get you back up and running.

To meet the ambitious targets set by the Government, the UK will need a network of skilled, low-carbon engineers.

However, the industry has acknowledged a shortage of installers with the skills and experience to fit heat pumps.

Were playing our part in bridging the skills gap by creating a best-in-class learning environment at our new National Training and Technology Centre in Hessle, East Yorkshire.

Our sector-leading facility will train up to 5,000 engineers annually in green technologies, driving the heating industry forward.

The heating industry is deeply committed to the net zero agenda and moving at pace to make the required changes.

It means manufacturers such as Ideal Heating must reshape our entire business operations in a very short space of time.

Investment must be made in skills, training, equipment and resources to ramp up heat pump manufacturing and servicing. At Ideal Heating, were investing 60 million at our site in Hull in new facilities to support the transition to heat pumps.

But our message is clear the targets which have been set can only be achieved by working with manufacturers.

This transition will not be achieved if unrealistic conditions and punitive measures are put in place which deter investment and create additional pressures in an already fiercely- competitive business environment.

The challenges of climate change unite all of us. Only by working together and by the Government and other stakeholders understanding the challenges faced by the heating industry will we succeed in changing how our homes are heated.

At Ideal Heating, we have the expertise and the experience to help customers and partners in the low-carbon transition.

Ideal Heatings parent company, Groupe Atlantic, is a European heat pump market leader. Working closely with our colleagues in France, were sharing knowledge and know-how in the renewable heating technologies which will heat our homes for generations to come.

Our industry expertise spans world-class training, exceptional customer support, pioneering research and development and decades of experience manufacturing reliable, efficient heating products.

Were the UK leader in both the domestic and commercial heating markets, and now were playing our part in the next chapter.

The future is greener, and Ideal Heating is right at the heart of it.

Providing heating solutions for over 100 years, Ideal Heating has been supplying domestic and commercial markets since 1906 Ideal Commercial Boilers is the UKs market leader of high efficiency commercial heating solutions. Operating from our Hull manufacturing plant and offices since 1906, we are one of the few true British manufacturers left in the heating []
