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
