Engineering-A Definition

How do we define engineering? Engineering is an art of finding solution to the real world problems. Its not about reading the history but about making the future.
Are students realizing this definition by any means these days. They opt for engineering so that they could get a good job. They just mug up every thing put before them without asking a single question. They might think why to waste time in asking question when they can mug up several questions in that time and get good grades.
We just can't put all the blame on our students . They are given such environment by parents, by teachers, by everyone surrounding them. Parents just keep them realizing the importance of getting a good job so that they can live a prosperous life, teachers keep them realizing the importance of mugging up several important questions to get good marks in the exams.
Where this mentality is taking our students which are the future of this country? How many of us understands the need of a practical learning based education system? Who is responsible for this lame education system?
Everyday several students comes to me with their problems. All of them have the same story, they are never inspired to do something practically, neither they were ever given time to do such things by them self.
Yesterday I met a teacher who didn't get his salary since last few months as students complaint against him for not getting the outputs of the practicals done in the lab. Teacher is no doubt wrong but wasn't it a good opportunity for the students to take a chance of working on raw circuits and design something which could give proper output. And is getting the output is so important that you escape from the learning process involved in getting that.
I will keep writing more on this topic . For now will take your leave.

Wish you all the best

Difference between learning and Evolution

Let me start this blog with a post describing the title of this blog. I believe every human understands the things via two ways:
1. Learning i.e. he learns from the pre-set examples & theories.
2. Evolution i.e. whatever knowledge he got through learning is used to generate new thoughts and ideas and in turn ideology.

There can be a big debate on this topic that which is more important learning or evolution. I should say both are equally important and one is obsolete without the other. As evolution can not start without learning and it evolution process is not happening then learning makes no sense.

How we add this theory to the technical knowledge environment? As we read lot of books and lot of other materials during our academic, we do practicals in labs which always have a pre-defined procedure. Getting knowledge through this process is learning. But what if evolution don't takes place i.e. we dont apply this knowledge to our daily works or for some more productive work, all the knowledge came through learning will become obsolete and becomes waste in course of time. So its necessary to keep thinking and evolving your ideas.

A quote in this respect:
" When person starts dreaming thought occurs and when person start thinking he trigger the evolution."

Wish you all the best
