ENGINEERING...just an option??

“Why engineering?”, is a quest that addles most engineering lads. Learning without passion has been the ambiguity in engineering of late. It, no more is the abode of technophilic aspirants but has turned out to be a way open to every intermediate client. Packages and placements have become the only criteria to opt engineering. Passion no more counts the selection of the branch. A mad race of swots seeking bucks elucidates the present scenario of technical education.

Institutions are bagging every odd college pass outs despite their caliberities just to get their seats filled. This encourages the inflow of non-technical blokes into engineering tracks. This just feeds the already raging flame of impassionate studies. Just botching up staying way behind the motive meets no cause. Such students get dragged throughout the four year span ant try to get going with the pace wherein they fail and add up to their fatigues. This has become a common drab in present engineering platform.

Passion is the spur that contrives the selection. But due to presently belittled education, engineering suffers the most. Medical and other aspirants find engineering gates as an escape after faltering in the entrance qualifiers. This is a blemish to the meaning what technology corroborates. They enjoy a tough time, trying to compromise with their lost dreams and present stream. It’s like consuming tasteless stuffs just because you have paid for it. The sort of fatigue these blokes undergo is highly exasperating as they are in a simultaneous conflict with their dreams and profession. Such guys are afflicted by their own choices. It’s just a facet of the controversy…..to allude it further is like writing an epic. 

  

Engineering woes are fed further by the aeons old syllabus which still is the major part of the curriculum. An all-round development is the target that must be sought for instead of pressurizing on the theories. Instead of yoking the students with heavy books, system must ensure focus on practical workouts. An evolving engineer must be made aware of all the hurdles he would face in the real world out there. Techniques are the bricks that build an engineer and not CGPA’s. Garnering ideas than mugging pages would meet the cause, and that’s what education is meant for.

If we further suss out the situation, we would come across an ample loop-holes. Simply alluding the fact and discussing it publicly does no good to the controversy. Being aware of the crap going around still being reticent just widens the dent. Working for the abatement of the ongoing crisis would do the magic. It must be made clear that engineering isn’t a workplace of future job holders but is a paradise for innovators. Lets mast our prides as ENGINEERS…
