WELCOME TO THE WORLD OF ENGINEERING! & The Age of Irresponsible Intelligence!
What is tomorrow for you was yesterday for me! 1985, August 26th, REC Durgapur Tension Happiness Fear Anxiety Been there, done that! Will be sitting in the audience 2 years from now when my child seeks admission to a college! With a proud heart, and tears in my eyes!
Stages of life Young, dependent, responsible student Until 10 + 2 Young, semi-dependent, semi-responsible student Now! For next 4 years! Young, independent professional After college! Middle-aged Manager Senior Leader Old Man! Youll go around, preaching! Like me!
What should you do? Parents want you to study and score good marks Teachers want you to study and score good marks, university ranks Necessary, but not sufficient! LEARN Studies will stop, learning shouldnt Exams will end, assessments dont
Dont merely learn Engineering Learn to be independent Learn to work in teams Learn to take decisions Learn to make mistakes Learn to learn from mistakes Learn Compete, but collaborate Learn to communicate Knowledge (alone) doesnt get you a job or a seat in a great PG Institute English is critical Use social media sensibly And smart mobile phones too!
Dont expect teachers to teach! They will But, YOU should learn! Dont think it is their responsibility to teach It is your responsibility to learn If I depended only on my teachers, I couldnt have entered IT field at all P.S.: My qualification is B.E. (Metallurgy)
Learn to enjoy Not merely the gossip! Or discussing the cute girl or handsome boy! Do some small stupid mistakes! This is the age for those! Enjoy innovating / hacking! Enjoy applying SET in the world around My seniors allegedly blew transformer on the eve of exam! Stupid, yet innovative application of knowledge! Students of a city college designed and launched a satellite! The next IC engine may be designed by you!
You are tomorrows professionals Until then Be child-like, dont be childish! Make friends with seniors Even if they rag you for a few days! Respect your faculty They know what they are talking about! Learn to network Your network is your asset too!
World is yours! Go and conquer it! Doesnt matter if you study Civil, Mech, EE, ECE or CS My college mates include An Oil Fire Fighting specialist An offshore oil rig structural engineering assessor Research scientists Company owners / Businessmen IT professionals Professors Running NGOs World needs all skills, all professions
What matters is What did you learn? How well did you learn? How well can you apply what you learnt? How well can you showcase what you learnt? How well do you enjoy these?
