VERSATILITY OF BRANCHES in ENGINEERING IS NEED OF THE HOUR

Engineering education, which was once limited to machines, devices, structures, designs, and inventions... today has expanded to various fields. Engineering created a revolution that turned India into a village of technology. Currently, digital approaches and technological innovations used worldwide are emerging in new areas such as transportation, information systems, health, and environmental issues. National Engineers Day is celebrated on September 15 every year on the occasion of the birth anniversary of Mokshagundam Visvesvaraya, the proud engineer of the country. India is one of the countries producing the most engineers in the world. In the last two to three decades, engineering colleges in the country have increased and admissions are taking place. Youth are more inclined towards this education for employment opportunities.
Job creation
The 'National Job Creation' report reveals that if lakhs of engineering graduates are looking for jobs from colleges every year, only seven to eight percent of them get the right jobs. It has become clear in many surveys that the reason for this is the lack of skills among the students that are suitable for the current industrial needs. Our engineering education is facing three major challenges which are1) shortage of expert qualified instructors,2)lack of linkage with industry and 3)inadequate job opportunities. The linkage of engineering institutes with industries will give impetus to quality research, curriculum development, student internships, campus placements, and projects. Engineering graduates are unable to get full employment due to a lack of skills required by industries and organizations.

According to the statistics of the All India Council of Technical Education (AICTE), a large percentage of engineering graduates are left jobless every year. 39 percent of industrial owners complain that they are not getting enough talent for their needs. According to the India Skill Report - 2022 published by WeBox, the percentage of youth employed in the country is 48.7%. 68.5 percent of IT students passed the National Eligibility Test conducted by this organization. In 2020, 49 percent of the total engineering students appeared for this exam and in 2021, it was 46.82 percent in 2022 only 55.15 percent have employable skills. According to a Nasscom report, 2019- 'Only 2.5 lakh people are getting jobs in core engineering. Artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), data science, and mobile technologies are currently in high demand. There is only three percent of experts in these fields in the country. 97 percent of engineering graduates are seeking jobs in key areas like software. Only three percent have the skills to excel in software or product marketing, and seven percent in core engineering tasks. Among the ten digital skills mentioned by Forbes as future skills are AI, ML, and Cloud. A McKinsey study


India's initiative for the engineering sector in the country's economic development

Intern strategic preference for students. AICTE has agreed with the Ministry of MSME and the National Highways Agency of India (NHAI) to provide engineering ship facilities. On the occasion of the 75th Independence Day, Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced plans to invest Rs 100 lakh crore for economic development and job creation through the expansion of infrastructure. In October 2021, the Department of Telecommunications approved 31 proposals for Production Based Incentives (PLI) for telecom and networking products manufactured in the country over the next four and a half years. All these programs are aimed at meeting the employment needs of engineering students in the country.

According to -, 2.5 crores to five crore jobs will be created globally in these three sectors shortly. There is a possibility of 60 lakh to 1.20 crore jobs in India. In this context, Nasscom has established an online training institute called 'Future Skills Prime' to enhance the skills of four lakh employees in five years along with the Indian Electronics and Information Technology Ministry.

Versatile training is key

It is time to erase the traditional boundaries of engineering education. To solve complex global problems and current challenges, specialized technical education departments should be established. There is an urgent need for versatile training for students. If they are proficient in all aspects then the difficulties they are currently facing will be removed. Policymakers and engineering academics need to think in that direction. Classroom teaching has disappeared on the premises of engineering institutes... "Teaching should continue based on applications like Shomi and Microsoft White Board. Colleges should have e-classrooms with full technology capability. All the technical and infrastructural facilities should be provided so that the expert faculty can teach all the students simultaneously online through video conferences and zoom meetings. Central e-studio should be in every college. Instructors should also adopt online methods like video lectures, pad cast, interactive graphs, statistics, ppts, infographics, mooks, etc. OER, technology graphs, ipads, and tabs to attract the attention of engineering students. , laptops and AR-VR technologies should be used. Teaching skills should be improved from time to time. Technical skills and innovation abilities should be improved. In the digital age, the skills like cloud computing, artificial intelligence, cyber security, UI-UX design, graphic design, animation, data science, business intelligence, etc. There is a huge demand for technical skills. Cyber ​​security, data science and analytics, cloud computing, machine learning, and blockchain technologies are the five engineering fields with the highest demand in 2022. Engineering students should be preferred to study these. Current engineering institutions need to develop the necessary skills and teamwork skills in their students. Adequate knowledge should be given to growing as innovators and leaders. Only then the future will be able to see the proud engineers of the country.

ISSUES IN IMPLEMETING KAVACH SYSTEM ?

Image
There are frequent railway accidents in india due to  Mistakes in the signal system, lack of vigilance of loco pilots, and other technical problems are causing two trains to come on the same track and face accidents. The way the Kora Mandal Express met with a terrible accident near Bahanagabazar in Odisha in June... Recently, the incident of a goods train colliding with the Sealda Kanchanjanga Express in West Bengal has made the safety of the railway questionable. Such accidents can be curbed with the 'Kavach' system. 140 km per hour The efficiency tests conducted recently between Mathura-Palwal showed that this system can provide protection even to trains running at high speed. Shortage of funds Experiments have been going on for years to prevent trains from colliding. Among them 'Kavach' is modern. The system was designed by the Railway Standards Organization (RDSO) in association with three organizations after studying the models of different countries. T...
