Our presentation civilization depends on technology
and so will its future. Choice of projects from their macro-objectives,
technical and economic analysis; their implementation through
micro-planning, following test cost solution, for the benefit
of the entrepreneur and the society at large, perforce are in
the hands of the engineers. For efficient operation, which brings
about commercial success, a plant or a system has to be in the
hands of the engineers. Therefore, the tasks involving systems/
project planning , designing project implementation, and testing
for quality, performance and certification, needs to be entrusted
to engineers.
However, an engineering degree alone does not enable a person
to undertake and discharge these responsibilities. The practical
application of the knowledge is a key aspect in the development
of competent professional engineers. It is essential therefore,
that a young graduate is given and opportunity to develop the
ability to apply his/her knowledge to provide cost-effective
and sustainable solutions to better serve the society.
