Engineering students are better time managers!!
If someone were to ask me what the most valuable thing I've learned during my engineering studies is, my answer would be time management. Engineers often face a great deal of pressure, such as during internal and external exams, project submissions, and seminar preparations. The rest of the time is spent trying to balance the demands of academics with other activities and finding time for leisure. I have seen firsthand how this pressure can cause people to sacrifice their relationships, neglect their friends and family, and become consumed by jealousy and resentment towards classmates and college management.
I have a friend who always aims for 100% marks on exams, because she holds herself to a high standard of excellence. But I have always wondered what difference it makes in her understanding of the subject if she scores 99 out of 100. After all, it is the teacher's interpretation of the answer sheet that determines the marks. Is she learning for her own satisfaction or for the satisfaction of the evaluator? Under the VTU system, the difference between 34 and 35 marks can be significant.
I believe that the problem is not unique to the engineering field, but rather a problem with the mentality of our education system as a whole. I've learned from personal experience that if you understand the concepts and know what to read, it is not difficult to achieve good grades. By using study holidays effectively, you can achieve good marks with less stress and more time to pursue other interests. With more time to explore, you can be more creative, visit more places, invest more time in personal life, make more friends and be better-known by faculty. You'll regret less and be more positive about the future.
In addition, engineering students are also great at managing their time, because they are able to balance multiple aspects of their lives, like completing assignments at night or studying for exams the day before. Engineering students learn a lot and gain a lot in four years!
absolutely true :)
ReplyDeletetime management is the best thing that one can learn during engineering course
ReplyDeleteall work and no play makes jack a dull boy...every engineering topper should know this
ReplyDeleteAnother perspective that one can think of is that we are over-rating the amount that one has to study under vtu. What I mean to say here is that engineering these days is become more of a degree and totally book dependent rather than concentrating on the understanding to actually creating something. One is unable to apply or know where a particular concept is actually applied and sometimes, doesn't even care. Many would agree that one is just "called" an engineer. That is the precise reason y one is able to score well just by studying for the last 7-10 days, score an FCD, be called an engineer and still doesn't know what actually an Engineer is or does!
ReplyDeleteyeah i totally agree with what you said that one is just "called" an engineer these days and does not have any practical knowledge...that is why i said spend time in innovation , creativity ( para 6)n be ready to grab the opportunities coming ur way...scoring can be easy if u have clear understanding of the concepts (para 4) :)
ReplyDeletei am not an engineer , but i can repair any gadgets given to me, which most of the engineers cant...i am sure even the so called lecturers of engineering colleges will not be knowing much.....i have many engineer friends and so i know so much about engineers...but to tell you the fact is that engineers are all rounders..they have the ability to grasp, they have good communication skills, and like you said they are good managers even without MBA degree, so the four years of engineering is not only about learning n applying technical concepts but also about becoming the best in various aspects..
