My Portfolio

Task 1

US is fast and ever developing country. Engineers are the backbone of its development. Engineering education has been one of the most wanted and rewarding career options all over the world for the creative and intelligent students with passion for innovation. The inventions of engineering can be seen around the world. We have to thank engineers for developments of machines and many more appliances of everyday use that make our life so easy. Today, it is hard to imagine a world without engineering inventions.

My interest in electronics blossomed during my high school years. It was the time when technology had begun to make an impact on the lives of people in India. Hence engineering with electronics as my major was the first choice for my undergraduate studies. Right since the beginning of my undergraduate study electronics is a subject that has fascinated me with its power of applications. The subjects that I have studied include Linear Electronics, Digital Electronics. These laid the foundation for my courses in Electronic Communication & Communication Systems at a later stage. My undergraduate studies already focus on the communications aspect of electronics. A masters degree in electrical engineering with communications as major field is the next logical step.

The world of engineering is fast paced and ever changing. It started playing key roll centuries ago in changing and developing the world. “God created men in peer, Men created gentlemen engineer (Zettelmeyer, 292).

The world engineering came into existence during the 11th century. It derives from the Latin word 'ingeniator' which means ingenious. The name was used for ing enious fortifications or makers of ingenious devices. Engineering now has evolved into many branches such as; mechanical, electrical, civil, computer science, electronics, petrochemicals etc.

Engineering education is being considered among the key enablers of growth for transforming and developing country's economy. Quality teaching and research in engineering education will play a vital role in development of our country.

For the past four months I have been working as a project trainee at the Indian Institute for Advanced Electronics. I am working on the design and development of a "PC Controlled Digital Serial Data Generator". This short stint has given me invaluable practical experience. It has given me the confidence to pursue a masters degree and also kindled a desire to do research.

My expectation about the engineering education is that the education provided should be technical, deep, thorough and clear. The education and the knowledge imparted should be conceptual, practical and logical more.

Every year US and UK produces more than four lakh engineering students. Country's growth rate for engineering degree is higher as compared to other countries like the USA, Japan, UK etc but we lack in providing quality education.

According to me in nutshell, my expectations in engineering education are as under:

Admission procedure needs to be reviewed. There should an aptitude test in stage I and Knowledge test in stage II for those who qualify the stage I.

Improve over Vance of institutions and attracting and retaining ...
