Engineering in India is still theoretical level. The courses in various engineering programmes are totally theoretical basis. The applied knowledge is not at all taught in many engineering colleges. If you g to engineering colleges, you will find the laboratories are in locked condition throughout the years. This is a common sight in many colleges. Moreover, students also lack inquisitiveness to learn the things practically. After 13 years of experience in the engineering education field , I have hardly seen students’ enthusiasm regarding laboratories and any kind of project work. The projects are just redundant copy paste from youtube videos.  The lack to enthusiasm is not only evident in students, it has sipped into the minds of teaching fraternity also due to the surrounding culture. The problem has magnified over the years. As a result, we are lagging in innovation and innovation led entrepreneurship. The developed countries always innovate and manufacture goods. For the goods, they find the overseas markets and get rich. Indian engineers have to be more practical oriented rather than theoretical based.  In coming years, students have to be more skillful practically. Especially, the engineers have to adapt aggressively.

Projecting yourself differently

 (Photo source: pexels.com)

During colleges, all the students do same kind of studies, projects and internships. There is rarely anything new. In hundreds of vivas, I have observed that some students are something different even though they did projects or internships in groups. They project themselves differently and way of approaching things seems to be more maturer compared to their mates. This makes them stand out and elevates to different level. In interviews also, you will see that other candidates are also with same degrees and even same experience.You have to stand out among the others. So, you are to project yourself differently.

 

 You can do it every possible way while appearing an interview. While attending a lecture, seminar, workshop or internship, you have to keep your eyes and ears open all the time. One needs to absorb the salient things all the time related to your field of work. Then, only you can shine. Suppose, you have undergone a practical training in a machine shop, you are expected to explain elaborately things you have seen during an interview if you produce a certificate regarding that internship. People ask questions and expects answers because you have done it. If you cannot answer the questions, people perceive you as a casual person. So, one should avoid that impression in all respects. Your preparation regarding each and everything should be up to the mark or you become part of the crowd with no markings.
