    Engineering: a life of dilemmas?


    “Engineering is one of the greatest forms of art the world has ever seen”

    A vague and uncomplicated sentence like that begs a lot of questions and frankly they seem vague, but not simple if that makes sense. To be frank, engineers can and will be necessary for the future of the world. From the ancient Egyptians and Romans who built the aqua ducts which ran through Rome, engineers have and are leaving their mark in the world to the benefits of others. Engineering is the best for of all sort of reasons, that being said the worst kind of ignorance is believing engineering doesn”™t matter anymore in the eyes of the public who deem such works as old hat or not as good as doctors or lawyers. They must overcome public exams like JEE MAIN 2018. To get into a private institution is another task in itself. To get into some of the colleges like Amity, we need to write a different exam altogether called the Amity JEE 2018. But the problem lies primarily in the fault of the people that hate working diligently and due to longer hours of work and also due to certain mind set of the people that causes them to question the nature of the world and their basic understanding of it. The problems regarding the issues that cause these thoughts are largely attributed to the delusions of life that most of the younger generation grew up with. Namely the belief in their own uniqueness and non-achievements to rival that of actual achievers.

    Life was and is pretty grim for those who are born into the family who believe doctor or engineer are the only professions worth  following and anything else may as well be a dialog of futility as the traditional and uncompromising mind set of the parents are cancer to the creative minds of their progeny, one should wonder how many authors or artist had their creative sparks put out and had their great and prosperous future replaced by a great and not no prosperous life ,one which would have them spend a great deal of their lives. The problem of failing in the long run and returning dejected can be seen as the natural conclusion of following the path which you felt like the most exciting and least familiar.

    Such problems are held in belief by people around the world and about a variety of topics – some regarding studies and the pursuing of the same. It is not an easy topic to handle for sure, but It makes us think a lot about the things we want to do in places that are foreign to us in belief and tradition whatever they may be at the time we feel it confronting us. So when one has made their mind about engineering. The best thing to do is to enrol in the top engineering colleges in India, and complete their course and then add to the work force talents which should astound the minds and imagination of the world .The way to glory is a thorny path however, as the qualification of JEE MAIN is necessary for the entry and it is a right problem for the un prepared, there are vigorous cut off marks which are hard to get. But it should not bother those who believe in triumph through adversity, for the determined and non-compromising.

  • Life skills set to be part of tech courses

    NEW CURRICULUM TO COME INTO FORCE IN JUNE Lack of inter-personal skills has been affecting the employment prospects of most engineering students.

    Inter-personal and life skills will be made part of the curriculum for engineering students from this year. At present, the curriculum for engineering courses is confined to making students “technologically sound” with no focus on developing their inter-personal skills.

    Sources point out that lack of inter-personal skills has been affecting the employment prospects of most engineering students and employers are having to spend 25 per cent of their expenses on training these students on inter-personal and life skills after recruiting them.

    The AICTE has appointed an 11-member committee to examine the issue and devise the new curriculum.

    JNTU-Hyderabad Vice Chancellor, Prof D.N. Reddy, is one of the members of the committee and is also heading the sub-committee on engineering sciences. The committee will draft the new curriculum by March, which would be approved in April. The new curriculum will come into force from the new academic year in June.

    From this year, for the first time, there will be a uniform curriculum for the entire country and all engineering colleges will have to adopt a semester and grading system for exams.

    “Ten per cent of the new curriculum will comprise humanities like inter-personal and life skills. The other 15 per cent will be in basic science subjects like mathematics, 25 per cent in engineering sciences and 40 per cent on core subjects.
    The objective is to integrate humanities into engineering curriculum and to make engineers well-rounded individuals apart from making the course interesting,” said Prof. Reddy.

    He said unlike management students, who are taught inter-personal skills as part of curriculum, engineering students are usually known for their lack of communication skills.

    “During campus placements, most companies complain about the poor communication skills of engineering students though they are technically sound.

    The new curriculum will bridge the gap between the academia and industry,” Prof. Reddy added.
