abstract: 'From the unique `Gurukula'' style of teaching prevailed during the Vedic
|
||||
|
||||
period, education as on date has evolved to the most modern concept of
|
||||
|
||||
e-learning. The method of imparting knowledge through coexistence of
|
||||
|
||||
teacher and students in ancient times has been transformed to such an
|
||||
|
||||
extent where the direct physical interaction between students and
|
||||
|
||||
teacher is not at all required. However, it is a fact that we are still
|
||||
|
||||
accustomed to the traditional way of classroom teaching, memory checking
|
||||
|
||||
tests, compulsory attendance etc. even in our post graduate level of
|
||||
|
||||
technical education. Teaching pattern followed in high school level is
|
||||
|
||||
followed in the same intensity even at engineering colleges. It is well
|
||||
|
||||
known that science and mathematics are important tools of engineering
|
||||
|
||||
programme but they are not themselves sufficient for one''s success as an
|
||||
|
||||
engineer. As world''s dependence on technology is increasing
|
||||
|
||||
tremendously, the need of the hour is to mould engineering graduates
|
||||
|
||||
with adequate skills and will power required to explore and exploit the
|
||||
|
||||
new opportunities of the world and thereby to contribute successfully
|
||||
|
||||
towards the social and economic prosperity of our country. This paper
|
||||
|
||||
makes a humble attempt to uncover the limitations of current engineering
|
||||
|
||||
education and also tries to put forward some proactive measures to
|
||||
|
||||
attain the desired results.
|
||||
|
||||
It is a fact that the technological advancement we had made is not used
|
||||
|
||||
up to the full potential in the field of education. The factors that
|
||||
|
||||
restrain engineering colleges from doing so may be listed as financial
|
||||
|
||||
constraints, lack of professionalism, method of `result-oriented''
|
||||
|
||||
teaching rather than knowledge based teaching and shortage of skilled
|
||||
|
||||
teaching manpower. Serious exploration of the following areas will be
|
||||
|
||||
required to overcome some of the above deficiencies felt in the current
|
||||
|
||||
engineering education:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Thrust on Research \& Development
|
||||
|
||||
2. Entrepreneurship development programmes
|
||||
|
||||
3. Social informatics
|
||||
|
||||
4. Electronic Technology
|
||||
|
||||
5. Industry-oriented education and Institute -industry interface
|
||||
|
||||
The judgement regarding the intellectual capability of technical
|
||||
|
||||
professionals can be done on the basis of research work carried out in
|
||||
|
||||
their respective countries. For every one lakh people, there are 150
|
||||
|
||||
researchers in India while the same is 3800 in US. Number of patents per
|
||||
|
||||
one million is approximated as one in India where as it is 289 in US.
|
||||
|
||||
Today''s engineers in the computer and IT field are well settled with
|
||||
|
||||
their jobs after graduation. Due to the high salary and lucrative
|
||||
|
||||
facilities offered by various IT companies, fields like research,
|
||||
|
||||
teaching etc. are ignored by youth. One of the reasons for above
|
||||
|
||||
backwardness is the lack of orientation given in the field of research
|
||||
|
||||
during their graduation. A remarkable progress can surely be made if
|
||||
|
||||
they are given motivation in pursuing career in the filed of research
|
||||
|
||||
and teaching during their graduation. Availability of highly skilled and
|
||||
|
||||
research-oriented teaching faculty is a necessity for inculcating the
|
||||
|
||||
flair of research to fresh engineers. Thrust on research should be
|
||||
|
||||
assured for assignments and project work carried out by the engineers
|
||||
|
||||
during their course of study. Research-oriented learning makes our youth
|
||||
|
||||
capable of out-of-the-box thinking and therefore innovative ideas will
|
||||
|
||||
be generated even at student level. As a result, teaching faculty will
|
||||
|
||||
also be equally benefited.
|
||||
|
||||
Tomorrow''s success is highly guaranteed for those engineering
|
||||
|
||||
professionals who can address the entrepreneurial requirements and
|
||||
|
||||
balance them with the specialized technological competencies. The skills
|
||||
|
||||
and knowledge required to become a successful entrepreneur is not given
|
||||
|
||||
due importance in the current engineering curriculum. Presently,
|
||||
|
||||
entrepreneurship is taught only in business schools, but now the
|
||||
|
||||
situation demands the same to be incorporated sufficiently in
|
||||
|
||||
engineering curriculum. This will help an engineer to develop business
|
||||
|
||||
skills along with technical skills so that opportunities can be
|
||||
|
||||
efficiently transformed into workable business models.
|
||||
|
||||
Social informatics relates to the interaction between society and
|
||||
|
||||
information-communication technologies (ICT). Addition of social
|
||||
|
||||
informatics to engineering curriculum will help IT professionals to
|
||||
|
||||
increase their accountability in social, cultural, political,
|
||||
|
||||
economical, legal and ethical areas where their technical competencies
|
||||
|
||||
will be applied. The other advantage is the extension of learning
|
||||
|
||||
process beyond the classroom to the society and developing a sense of
|
||||
|
||||
caring for others.
|
||||
|
||||
We are now blessed with the latest networking technologies like
|
||||
|
||||
Internet, Intranet, Cloud computing, Wi-fi etc. It is with concern to
|
||||
|
||||
mention that most of the engineering colleges had made use of the above
|
||||
|
||||
technologies for improving their administrative efficiency and not for
|
||||
|
||||
bettering academic efficiency of students. Educational institutions
|
||||
|
||||
should embrace latest networking technologies in developing new learning
|
||||
|
||||
platform. Since jobs become more and more insecure and mid life career
|
||||
|
||||
changes are frequent, lifelong learning is becoming an essential
|
||||
|
||||
requirement for engineering professionals. This situation can be
|
||||
|
||||
effectively utilised by engineering colleges for conducting virtual
|
||||
|
||||
classrooms for practising engineers that can yield financial advantage
|
||||
|
||||
for teaching faculty and college as well.
|
||||
|
||||
It is often said that engineering may be the only professional course
|
||||
|
||||
largely taught by non-practitioners. Hence institute-industry interface,
|
||||
|
||||
can very well compensate the missing link of industrial exposure.
|
||||
|
||||
Industries today demand teamwork from fresh recruited engineers whereas
|
||||
|
||||
teamwork is given less priority in the current engineering curriculum.
|
||||
|
||||
Industry being the end user of engineering graduates, restructuring of
|
||||
|
||||
the curriculum in line with industrial demands may also be tried out.
|
||||
|
||||
Adaptability to industrial environment is a main factor for the
|
||||
|
||||
successful discharge of an engineer''s responsibilities. Universities
|
||||
|
||||
must recognise the fact that industry is their main client and hence
|
||||
|
||||
students must be given ample opportunities to interact with industries.
|
||||
|
||||
Industry-oriented learning for engineering students is almost like a
|
||||
|
||||
`give and take policy'' since both industries as well as students is
|
||||
|
||||
equally benefited.
|
||||
|
||||
India had made a remarkable progress in recent years especially in the
|
||||
|
||||
service sector. Global community is well aware of our mettle in IT and
|
||||
|
||||
BPO industries. The unique advantage we are having is the pool of
|
||||
|
||||
skilled manpower, which we would need to grow consistently in order to
|
||||
|
||||
sustain our competitive edge in current market scenario. Now we have to
|
||||
|
||||
aim for an equilibrium in which we should focus equally on R\&D sector
|
||||
|
||||
along with BPO. More than 200 companies listed in the fortune 500
|
||||
|
||||
companies had already established their R\&D facilities in India. To
|
||||
|
||||
accelerate India''s growth as a hub for R\&D, availability of employable
|
||||
|
||||
engineers with passion for research is utmost essential. This requires
|
||||
|
||||
additional infrastructure and faculty requirement as well as radical
|
||||
|
||||
changes in current technical education system. The stage is now set for
|
||||
|
||||
industry experts, academia think tanks and top brass of government
|
||||
|
||||
policy makers to review the existing engineering education and to
|
||||
|
||||
initiate debate and discussions to enhance the quality of education. It
|
||||
|
||||
is presumed that this paper will be an eye opener for the above purpose.
|
||||
|
||||
This paper discusses the different challenges faced by the engineering
|
||||
|
||||
education systems and suggestions based on various alternative
|
||||
|
||||
strategies are discussed which can easily be incorporated into the
|
||||
|
||||
engineering curricula; the introduction of which makes the system
|
||||
|
||||
complete in all meaning.'
