HOTWIRING A CAREER IN ENGINEERING

Dean, Academic Affairs Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur

One of the main goals of engineering education is to train individuals to deliver designs that are socially relevant. Modern design is highly inter-disciplinary, supported by strong analysis and mostly involves team effort. A good engineering curriculum for an undergraduate program is fairly broad based.

In fact, the content that is specific to a certain discipline/department is usually no more than 35 to 50 percent of the the total number of credits required for completing an undergraduate program. The curriculum includes generous proportion of courses on engineering and basic science, technical arts, humanities and social sciences, management and overall synthesis and design.

Some examples of the various types of courses are: engineering science —fluid/solid mechanics, thermodynamics, electrical/material/earth/computer science; basic science — physical/mathematical/chemical/life science; technical arts: engineering drawing and visualisation, manufacturing/electrical laboratory.

Students should not get swayed by the popular courses and stick to what they want to doThe choice of a course solely depends on the preference and the liking of the student. A good programme has enough flexibility for the student to take a reasonably large number of electives in inter-disciplinary areas. Super specialisation in a particular discipline is usually accomplished through a masters program via more courses and project/research work.

It should be emphasised that learning takes place both inside and outside the classroom. Students internalise values from their teachers and peers. The four pillars on which excellence in engineering education rests are (a) high quality and experienced faculty (b) highly motivated students with good aptitude for learning and application (c) good infrastructure, including well equipped laboratories with skilled and motivated staff and (d) a vibrant environment that fosters open interaction amongst all.

The choice of a good engineering institute is far more important than that of a department. Placement for a student who does well in a program should not be a problem in today’s inter-disciplinary world; an aerospace company certainly needs good material scientists and a steel company, similarly, can absorb aerospace engineers who have a good background in fluid mechanics.

A good university offers immense diversity and exposes one to great minds (teachers as well as peers). Successful completion of the programme opens gateways to higher education, entrepreneurship and employment in organisations that are looking for professionals with a difference.

GAP IT RIGHT

Psychiatrist and Counsellor,Mumbai

Many people are forced to take gap years due to environmental or personal reasons. Marriage, financial constraints, exam preparation and shift in professions are some of the common reasons. Students who wish to study abroad sometimes have to drop a year in order to prepare, both financially and otherwise.

The incentive of immediate job and monetary gains is often the attraction for individuals to take a gap. Many students take a break after their 12th and work in BPOs to earn money and gain independence.

The need for such gap years has also increased due to substantial demands for self growth and discovery. The quick money and a chance to experiment with career choices are big attractions, but after working for sometime many youngsters do realise the importance of higher education and head back to college.

Taking a gap may be a good idea, but what you do with that break is very crucial. Planning a constructive gap can help to go a long way. The ideal thing to do is take up a job which can help you get a practical experience of what you intend to study further. For example, if you want to be a lawyer, try to work at a law firm and gain experience.

This will also help you to make a better career choice and prepare you for the real job. But if the time is not used well the person may end up dropping his/her education completely. Few questions to ask yourself are what you really want to do and where you want to do it. Don’t go ahead without effective planning. Prepare a proper list of priorities and effective strategies for your gap year.

The negative effect of a gap years sometimes leads a person to become a ‘drop out’. Some students feel that it is better to take up a small time job than to get back into the grind of exams and pressure. Many also feel that they have lost the opportunity of doing something better with their lives.

If this gap is not used well a person may go through frustration, anger, resentment and also a feeling of being a failure. Some people resort to negative coping strategies such as drinking, smoking or drug addiction. On the professional front one may end up loosing good opportunities at hand. Effective planning will help in warding off such circumstances.

The gap years have their own pros and cons. Some have benefited, while others have borne the brunt. With gap years students get the time to think of their preferences and pre-plan their next move. Gap years also allow a chance of change and re-do things that required attention.

It gives time for improving family ties, bringing passion back to life, learning self-enhancing techniques and work balance. So, if your risk is calculated and well-planned go ahead and experience the gap. But make this gap a personal or a professional leap.

GOING THE VOCATIONAL WAY

Principal,College of Vocational Studies, Delhi University

Vocational education guarantees students a meaningful and contemporary education.The curriculum is restructured in response to the changing environment and reflects current issues and concerns. It successfully interweaves general education with work-oriented skills and knowledge. It helps in incorporating knowledge of computers, software applications and communication skills, which are basic requirements for any kind of job in the industry today.

There is a need to change the mindset of the people regarding the status of the vocational education and courses. They are considered somewhat inferior. But vocational education is as important and relevant, if not more, as traditional one. They are tailored to meet the needs of the industry.

Vocational studies make youngsters employableThe future will belong to vocational education as a major portion of Indian population is young and it becomes imperative to impart them with relevant skill to make them productive and employable. The pro-vocational government policy will give further fillip to expansion and diversification of this format of education.

Before enrolling for vocational courses the learner should keep in mind his or her interest, aptitude and aim in life. The course should be opted after due considerations and matching of interest with available courses.

Limited options are available when it comes to choosing vocational courses and the colleges offering them. But the trend of diversification of vocational courses has already started and the colleges and universities offering them are also on the rise. One of the drawbacks of vocational education in India is that the possibilities of higher education are rather limited.

To make them more relevant and popular, they should become more student friendly. This means that those who want to work right after graduation should be able to do so, and those who want to take up further studies in similar areas should have interesting options available as well.

SCIENCE COURSES - GATEWAY TO SUCCESS

Head, Dept of Physics and Astrophysics,Delhi University

The main reason for the overall decline of the popularity of sciences courses could be ascribed to the bad teaching at different levels, beginning from the primary level and all the the way up to the post graduation level. Good teachers are either not available or not hired for incomprehensible reasons.

Unfortunately, this happens at all levels in our country. At the university undergraduate level it is often found that a teacher is teaching a subject in which he/she is not actually competent and can be more useful for some other subject.

Mathematical sciences which are a backbone of all basic sciences are often not given enough attention, leading to a decline of interest in basic sciences. The science courses despite their depleting popularity continue to be the foundation stone for multiple careers because the basics covered in science courses are needed almost everywhere and in all spheres of life.

Science courses develop scientific thinkingThe science courses also help students in developing a progressive attitude and a culture of scientific thinking. A student from the science background can establish him/herself in almost all the vocations, even those which traditionally do not belong to their domain. The admissions in management institutes clearly reflect the trend of science students - engineers, doctors and other professionals - moving to new pastures.

Science students can be found in all spheres; be it stock-trading, aviation, tourism, entertainment industry, defence, management, etc. The clear advantage the students have is that they don’t have any restrictions in moving from one parallel to another, making them versatile.

A commerce or a humanities student cannot apply to the sectors which belong to the science stream, but a science student has no such restrictions. A science student can also explore professional opportunities in the field of research, teaching, administrative services, consultancy services, etc.
