WHAT IS ENGINEERING AND

WHY ENGINEERING?

WHAT IS

ENGINEERING ? Engineering (en je-nir-ing, n.) is the art ofapplying scientific and mathematicalprinciples, experience, judgment andcommon sense to make things that benefitpeople. Engineers design bridges and life-saving medical equipment, as well as the

processes for cleaning up toxic spills andsystems for mass transit. In other words,engineering is the process of producing aproduct or system.

WHAT IS

ENGINEERING? According to Oxford Advanced LearnersDictionary, Engineeris a person whodesigns, builds or maintains engines,machines, bridges, railways, mines etc andengineering is the practical application ofscientific knowledge in the design,

construction and control of machines,public services such as roads, bridges etc,electrical apparatus, chemicals etc.Engineering is the work, science or

profession of an engineer.

REQUISITE

QUALITIES A person must demonstrate the following tobecome an engineer in true sense:

a. an ability to apply knowledge of mathematics,

science, and engineeringb. an ability to design and conduct experiments, aswell as to analyze and interpret data

c. an ability to design a system, component, orprocess to meet desired needs

d. an ability to function on multi-disciplinary teamse. an ability to identify, formulate, and solve

engineering problems

REQUISITE

QUALITIESf. an understanding of professional andethical responsibility

g. an ability to communicate effectivelyh. the broad education necessary to

understand the impact of engineeringsolutions in a global and societal context

i. a recognition of the need for, and anability to engage in life-long learningj. a knowledge of contemporary issuesk. an ability to use the techniques, skills, and

modern engineering tools necessary forengineering practice.

Who should study

Engineering? Only those who excel in science and love to

innovate new gadgets/instruments/ equipments

etc for the benefit of mankind will succeed inEngineering Education. Merely acquiring aBE/B.Tech. degree is not enough. Engineering is alifelong education and engineers shall continue tokeep abreast of the technology and contribute

towards technology advancement. A solidfoundation of classical theories is prerequisite tounderstanding of the state-of-the-arttechnologies.

WHY ENGINEERING? Engineering is the most versatile profession one can opt as acareer. In fact engineering degree is so versatile that youcan enter any area of economy whether it is banking,administrative service, tourism, defense service and many

more in addition to main stream engineering profession.Unlike other professions, knowledge of the nature ofengineering, and the role of engineers, is concerned withthe design and production of so many objects, devices, andsystems which are an integral part of our environment andday to day life. These systems are as vital to society as are

our school, health care, and legal systems. Engineersprobably have a wider choice of environment in which towork, and a greater variety of jobs, than is possible in anyother profession.


8/15

WHY ENGINEERING? An engineering degree also opens doors to othercareers. Engineering degree is the most versatiledegree available in the present day educationsystem in country like India. New generationcareers like IT, Biotechnology, Bioinformatics,Genetic Enginnering etc are more suitable tostudents with engineering back ground than anyother back ground. Many engineering graduates

move into other professions, such asadministrative service, medicine, law and business,where an engineering background is a valuableasset.

How to become an

Engineer? In our country to become an engineer, one has to acquire aqualification in engineering from any of the recognized

institution.

Degree (BE/B.Tech etc) and post graduate

degree courses offered by engineering colleges,universities, National Institute of Technology(NIT) and Indian Institute of Technology (IIT)

Over and above the BE/B.Tech. programs

conducted by engineering colleges/ NITs/IITsand other central institutes, there areprofessional bodies recognized by government ofIndia to give AMIE (Associate Member ofInstitution of Engineers) equivalent to any degree

in engineering to cater mainly to working people inthe private and public sectors.


10/15

How to become an

Engineer? To enter any engineering college one has to passthe HS(10+2) with Physics, Chemistry &Mathematics. Some colleges specify minimum

percentage of marks between 50-60. Where as nocut off percentage is required to enter IIT.

However all the engineering colleges in thecountry admit students on the basis of Joint

Entrance Examination (JEE) barring a few. So success in JEE is vital to become an Engineer.
