Are we Engineers ??? -Make a test...

                                         ARE   WE    ENGINEERS????

                                  

                                    (An unique behavior of Indian engineers ) 

“An engineer is a professional practioner of engineering  , concerned with applying  scientific knowledge,  analytical skills, and ingenuity  to develop solutions for technical problems.” Says a definition from a famous encyclopedia. “The  engineers must weigh different design  options on their merits and choose  the solution that best matches the requirements. Most  of an engineer’s time is spent on researching . Indeed , research  suggest  that engineers spend 56% of their  time   with  various information behavior, including 14% actively searching for information.” – the actual behavior of an engineer. We too are engineers , of course we do things.  We make lots of calculations, yet none is  good. We don’t even have patience to wait  outside the bathroom and so the locks  are  broken. We eat  till  our  throat  when we have our pocket tight with money and  face  the consequences  the next day  morning .   We rush and realize only  on the night before the final exams. We get into trouble  through  teen age affairs and we are the exclusive cause. And we call  ourselves  engineers with a great pride.

We study by  just memorizing  the words, whereas an engineer  will analyses it, make research  and   practice by  applying  them  and therefore  getting knowledge. We chat  on unproductive  subjects and do not hesitate  to sleep at any point of time on the pretext of relaxation. We think  logically  and make use of our mind to bunk classes and to make  excuses  for them. The engineers will love knowing every bit of his lesson,  where as  we spot out questions selectively for preparation. It is obvious that we don’t study for knowledge but for the aggregate pass percentage. And now the quality of the word engineer had obviously  came down. The MNC  still find  it difficult to recruit a real engineer although   all the   applicants hold  a master s degree in Engineering.   We have lots of time and we should realize  what we are and  ask  ourselves  “Are we Engineers?”
