Allowing Blend of Private Sector Best Practices in the

Education Curricula.
Adding Private Sectors Training Kits for Igniting the
Minds for an Holistic Approach in Education
Working on 3 Es : Education Employment
Employability
Plain Vanilla Courses BE, BSc. Is losing value

 Skill gap exists among Indian engineering graduates is being debated for a past few
years, making a strong case for the engineering colleges and institutions to reform
the curriculum with a focus on employability and quality. Various sectors that
require Skill Gaps to be filled in by the Engineers to meet the Global standards of
Industry requirements are:
The Sectors of Economy with Skill Deficit, where India is dependent on Foreign
Engineers for Technology.
Economic Sectors with high Potential for value addition to GDP Growth (ICT,
Telecommunications,.)
Sectors needing high quantum of Engineers though the sector may be comparative
less Productive for GDP Production.
Engineers for R&D areas, Technology Development.
Engineers for Energy Efficiency
Engineers to work on improving assets efficiency / productivity / health / safety
Engineers for Environment Management
Engineers for improving Farm Productivity, Water Management Engineers.
Automation Engineers. , Health Care Electronics Engineers (Meditronics)
.. & so on, list is long; areas are many; so are changing contours of developing the
Engineers & Technologists and the profiles of development of young breed of
Vocational Experts.

To the optimist, the glass is half-full. To the pessimist, the glass is halfempty. To the engineer, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.

A priest, a doctor, and an engineer were waiting one morning for a
particularly slow group of golfers. The engineer fumed, "What's with
those guys? We must have been waiting for fifteen minutes!" The doctor
chimed in, "I don't know, but I've never seen such inept golf!" The priest
said, "Here comes the greens-keeper. Let's have a word with him." He
said, "Hello George, What's wrong with that group ahead of us? They're
rather slow, aren't they?" The greens-keeper replied, "Oh, yes. That's a
group of blind firemen. They lost their sight saving our clubhouse from a
fire last year, so we always let them play for free anytime." The group fell
silent for a moment. The priest said, "That's so sad. I think I will say a
special prayer for them tonight." The doctor said, "Good idea. I'm going to
contact my ophthalmologist colleague and see if there's anything she can
do for them." The engineer said, "Why can't they play at night?

 Understanding Engineers #4
An engineer was crossing a road one day, when a frog called out to him
and said, "If you kiss me, I'll turn into a beautiful princess." He bent
over, picked up the frog, and put it in his pocket. The frog spoke up
again and said, "If you kiss me, I'll turn back into a beautiful princess
and stay with you for one week." The engineer took the frog out of his
pocket, smiled at it and returned it to the pocket. The frog then cried
out, "If you kiss me and turn me back into a princess, I'll stay with you
for one week and do anything you want." Again, the engineer took the
frog out, smiled at it and put it back into his pocket. Finally, the frog
asked, "What is the matter? I've told you I'm a beautiful princess and
that I'll stay with you for one week and do anything you want. Why
won't you kiss me?" The engineer said, "Look, I'm an engineer. I don't
have time for a girlfriend, but a talking frognow that's cool.
