we need a makeover!

July 25, 2006

The Oxford Dictionary has a number of definitions for an Engineer. One of which is who designs, constructs and manages. Here is an effort by engineers to unite all the engineers all over the world to make it a better place to live.

Here is my first blog as a CEan on the CEan blog. Technology has been fast growing over the recent decades. And the most astonishing fact is that the newly build industry has been a valued contribution for the growth; yes I am talking about Information Technology (IT).This field has attracted engineers from each and every field civil, mechanical, electrical, electronics, chemical engineers changing the track and jumping into this common pool. Talking about the ethics of the profession, why an engineer feels the need to change the career path? I have highlighted ‘career path’ with the sole purpose of stressing the point that most of us take up engineering blindly. I think over 93% of the current professionals will agree with me over this point. Taking up a profession at the under graduate level mostly is depended on a lot of factors like marks, available seats in the desired faculty or college rather having no knowledge of as to which college is the best moreover how important it is to get into a good college and most importantly parent’s opinion/advice is on the top of the priority lists for most of the population. But sadly it’s only the marks scored by the candidate that is considered to be the whole and sole reason for an individual to get or loose the admission.

Considering the Indian scenario coaching classes encash this fact beautifully and make a lot of profits. The parents enroll their child into one of the classes which have impressive advertisements; moreover the classes which manage to pocket the top scorers and misguide the parents and students. The students are pressurized by growing competition but the more successful are plum fees of these coaching classes and the extra ordinary stress of lectures and the so called simulated tests. And most recently the government has taken a step? to produce quality engineers! And that step is the pre entrance test. They feel that this probably will be an effective measure to reduce the competition or moreover make it a healthy one! I personally strongly disagree with this step and feel that it only increases the pressure on the examinee to perform well with no assurity that the stress will definitely result into good marks and the assurity that the examinee will land up into a good college if he overcomes the stress and scores good marks. Rather the effective step will be to change and update the syllabus regularly and keep the paper pattern changing. The Indian education system strongly needs a complete makeover !
