I wanna share my experiences of interviewing people. For past 5 years I'm taking interviews quite often and really feeling the change in New breed of engineers but that's not in good direction. I usually enjoy interviews as it's an opportunity to interact with different types of people and at times it helps us to know the level of inability and ignorance we have. Conducting interviews itself a huge learning.
These days so many engineering colleges are there but what they failed is to develop talents. Every college is producing workers who just receive commands and execute it. Majority of engineers have knowledge but lacks in application of it. In most cases they are unable to analyse the root causes of problems. Majority of thought process is superficial not deeper understanding. But I too meet some exceptional talents but such encounters are diminishing day by day.
At times I ponder, am I living with the thoughts of my childhood time? I'm from the generation in India that has seen the transition of analog to digital and the impact of globalization in every household. So by default the curiosity of understanding why buttons are not there in TV?, how a remote control works? Likewise thoughts helped in building and strengthening the thought process. Now for this generation everything abstracted, is it the reason for missing deeper thought process? I'm not able to agree to it as every generation experiences the transformation in technology like 3D printing, Augmented reality to name a few in recent times.
What I strongly believe that the education system have changed? New colleges focusing on results of passing percentage and in that quest missed out on quality. They failed to create independent engineers. In one of the debate show on a private channel majority of the lecturers talking about control over students than giving free learning environment. What a pity! The lecturers themselves not aware of nature's basic Principe of interdependent system. Please don't produce memory machines.
No need to charge the fine amount for failing to wear I'd card. No need to be nice to students. Don't allow them to campus if they don't adhere to rules. Explain to them the rules and basic Principles of the system and stick to the rules. Failure is the good teacher. Let them experience it. Let them learn from others failure too. There's no person in the world who never experienced failure. What they learned from failure is what made them great. Please understand everyone is unique and the world has enough opportunities for everyone. Let them learn to grab those opportunities and progress.
Many more thoughts rushing to mind, but I wanna keep it short, so ending it here.
Ha nice day!
