A VIEWPOINT ON UNEMPLOYABLE ENGINEERS AND UNEMPLOYABILITY

Healthy / strong manufacturing sector can only help in better fiscal policies. Low skilled / unskilled engineers can’t sustain a healthy manufacturing sector. This simplest equation is going beyond the comprehension of the policy makers. Beating around the bush can never give desired output. We will have to find real reasons for the universities producing unemployable engineers. Any effort other than this will continue to bring disaster.

Classroom to classroom teachers / faculty are designing engineering curriculum by sitting in the airconditioned AICTE offices and this is the reason that our universities are churning out unemployable engineers. Being a Mechanical Engineer, I have studied the curriculum for mechanical engineering and I feel pity for our youth and the country. Unfortunately, we have come too far and corrective action may not be possible now. Therefore, keep offering more and more opportunities to ‘make in India’.

‘East India Company’ came on its own and we could ask them to go back but now we are inviting them with a red-carpet welcome. Will we have any authority to ask them to go back? Will there be a possibility for our engineers to work with dignity? Low skilled engineers are produced for serving multi-Nationals.

Minimum monthly dole / allowance can be given only when the country has healthy and vibrant manufacturing sector. Let us be committed to the Nation and build a better future for our next generation.

He is currently a Professor of Mechanical Engineering in the School of Engineering, Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU). Formerly Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the Indian Institute of Technology Delhi. He is also the Former Vice Chancellor / Director of Sant Longowal Institute of Engineering & Technology (SLIET), Deemed University (CFTI under MHRD), Longowal, District Sangrur, Punjab. He is known for his contribution in the field of Welding Technology and manufacturing science. He has developed and established various cost effective and national need based technologies in the field of welding. He is an innovative researcher and just doesn’t believe in remaining a follower researcher. His commitment to self is: • Be the leader rather than a follower. • Innovate or perish • Doesn’t want to be a mental slave • If they can innovate (Western World) then why can’t we? • He is proud of Vedic Science & Technology • He has successfully developed a teaching methodology which is based on Brainstorming all the time. • He believes in only producing an educated engineers and not the “Paper degree holding engineers” He is responsible for developing a World class Welding Research Laboratory at the Indian Institute of Technology Delhi. He produces own consumables including underwater welding electrodes. This is the only Laboratory of it's kind. He is responsible for introducing the most flexible multi-entry and multi-exit technical education system in the country. It takes care of the student after class-X and one can then go up to the PhD level of education. Age is no bar. He takes pride in having introduced the most transparent & honest administrative system in the country. His unfulfilled desire is to create a combination of true World Class University and an extremely profitable business. The name of the University or the Institute should be the symbol of quality and the benchmark for all other institutions including IITs. His complete philosophy can be understood by going through his Blogs. One can reach his blogs either through: sunilpandeyiitd.org or by simple typing “Official blog of Prof Sunil Pandey”. He is available for taking a challenging assignment anywhere in the country or abroad.
