After completing the HSC, and scoring 80%, 90%, students move to the college with lots of dreams. When the student get an engineering admission, the entire family members will be happy and they celebrate for that. Parents will dream a lot than the student(child) about their child's future. So, on the day one when the student go to the class, he/she(most) will take a oath, that we need to be the best in the college. But, days goes on most of the people will forget that promise.Few people will keep remember and they will do that. Some people come to college just for the name sake or time pass But, I just want to tell my suggestion on teaching and learning the engineering.
What is engineering:
It is a science and technology concerned with design, build, maintain structure. The engineer is one who learn and practice engineering.
How the engineering is taught in most of the colleges?
I have no idea about practicing and teaching engineering at the time of doing my engineering course. To me and most of the people felt that completing the course successfully will make us an engineer But, the days after completing my course and getting into real time work I realized that, what I practiced in the college is not the world is expecting from an engineering professional. I just thinking why such things happened and happening and what changes are needed among the colleges and students. Then I got lot of answer for that.
1. Lack of Management Support
2. Lack of dedicated staffs
3. Lack of students interest
4. Lack of awareness among the students
5. Lack of hands on work
6. No seriousness
7. Students don't know why they learning certain subjects
8. Lack of knowledge on latest trends in markets (Technology growth)
9. Learning systems
10.Industry visits (as a entertainment tour)
Management support:
The management who run the college are responsible for the students growth.The intention should not be only in making money (education is not a business, it's an service). So, there should be more advantage for the students in choosing the college. Making 100% placement alone is not a big achievement. But making a better engineer at-least(10%) matters a lot.This would give a proud to the college.
Lack of dedicated staffs:
The staffs are hired after they complete the master course.In industry, what ever the degree a person holds it's not a matter at all , He/she should be trained and then they will be assigned to do certain jobs. But, in the case of teaching there is no training prior to teaching to the students. Teaching is an art, it's a skill. One can't get it just by completing the master course.A proper training is needed to have that. So, there could be a training for the newly hired professional before they handle the students.
Lack of students interest:
Student who join just after completing their schooling come with some interest. But days goes on the interest their aim gets diverted due to certain factor. This is one of the main reason why student don't shine in college where they did in their schooling. So, for this they are the responsible. Most of the students don't know how their parents suffer in making money for their child's education. If they realize, majority of the student will move on the right path, they won't get diverted in their goals.
Lack of hands on experience:
I see most of the college will provide more importance to the theory rather than the practical work. The'y just forget the core principles of engineering. Engineering can't be achieved just by having the theoretical knowledge. So, the staffs are responsible to create an awareness about the practical work.
How the teaching professional should be?
A staff should be more dedicated in their work. They should be able to explain any concepts related to engineering.So, he/she should have an updated knowledge on the technology growth. They should create an awareness to the students about the happening in the markets.Encourage the students to participate on the technical events. Organizing technical events, encouraging the students to create a new concepts.They should support the students to be better and shine in their career.Tell the student the need of choosing and learning certain subjects.If the staff teach signals and systems or Digital signal processing or data structure or engineering mechanics, they should tell the students the use of learning such concepts and where they are applied.They should be keep monitoring the students activities. Only by this they can make their students better.
Industrial Visits
Most of the college make their industrial visits( shortly called as IV) as a entertainment tour. There is no assurance that they visit the industry. This is how they failed to create an awareness about knowing the industry culture. But there are some people(staff) who make it serious and do what they suppose to do.
For students who are about to complete their course make sure you crack the interview by meeting the interviewer expectations. Here are the few tips to do so
1. Good communication
2. Boldness (Confident while speaking)
3. Technical skills(interest)
4. Writing skills
5. Behavior
6. Decent dressing
7. Smiling face (be cool while explaining)
8. Don't be panic
9. Tell what you know (Don't try to lie)
10.Creative thinking.
