Lot of engineering colleges, coaching institutes, training center for peripheral skills but how many engineering marvels we have seen recently? When this question being asked questions are started to be raised on our education system, political views and lot many blah blah blah... We are very happy to blame others but have we ever thought that these institutes and its lecturers are part of us only! Just to blame the system and waiting for someone to change sounds out of logic. Here are my views on why we are not getting those engineering miracles in higher ratio.
1. Job is only goal for my generation, we are just looking for job to earn some money so that we can buy a smart phone, can show off something with money. Yes I also do work to earn money, but factor of passion is prime in what I do. This factor leads to something new in the field we are working.
2. Being at nowhere, many of us are still not able to find the place where they belong to, some media reports are leading factor of their choice of studies. Majority of freshers I met in recent times are affected by that, it is very surprising that in era of digital connectivity people just blindly follow some trends and never talk to self that what they really want to do.
3. We just get blinded easily by someones personality and his choice of work. We generally see people from gadget or software industries more on TV and people just think to be like them, but friends they have walked on their own path and hence became what they are today.
4. Aiming too much high and doing nothing on ground is biggest killer of our creativity, majority of freshers I met recently are aiming to be part of higher management in a reputed organization but how to reach there is not known to many of them! This is the factor where parents and their coaches have a role to play. Greatness follows you, you don't need to follow it.
5. Thinking new is becoming old fashioned, just to think out of box for sake of thinking like that is not out of box thinking. Original ideas are something comes naturally, can't be forced.
6. Society related thinking is missing somewhere in our basic approach. We are happy to have what we have but we are not finding solutions for making things better.
These are my observation considering myself and many engineers I meet in my day to day routine. Time is to think what we are supposed be being an engineer: just holders of stamped certificate? or heroes of society? I believe we have to do something for upgrading our society and not to hide under shelter of faulty system.
As always I am waiting for comments and views of readers.
