Science v/s Engineering

The information flows that link these levels are antiparallel: In scientific inquiry, physical systems shape their descriptions through measurement, and the results constrain and shape general, abstract models (theories) by testing them. In engineering design, by contrast, descriptions (specifications) shape physical systems through fabrication, and general, abstract models (system concepts) shape descriptions through design.
…
While science aims (ideally) to produce exact descriptions of all parameters of all members of a general class of physical systems, engineering aims to manufacture instances of a single kind of system, making choices to ensure that itsfunctional parameters will equal or exceed those specified by a design description.
Likewise, while science aims to formulate a single theory that exactly fits all parameters of every description, engineering aims to design at least one description of a system having functional parameters that equal or exceed those required by one of a potential multiplicity of system concepts.
In this connection, is a proliferation of possible ways of satisfying a constraint good, or bad? In science, finding more possibilities creates greater uncertainty; in engineering, finding more possibilities provides greater freedom of design. This is a basic question with opposite answers — and there are many more.

Engineering Education

ngineering education in India has long been dominated by the Indian Institutes of Technology and the Regional Engineering Colleges. The Indian Institute of Technologies have earned a reputation for graduating outstanding engineers who have risen to the top of their profession globally. However, critics call it more a phenomena of admitting the best and not necessarily the institutes having top-notch professors. Other engineering colleges such as the Regional Engineering Colleges have also made huge strides. But the majority of the engineering colleges in India rely on rote as the teaching methodology. There is an increasing awareness that the engineering education system has to be revamped. Reports reveal that only 25% of the engineering graduates are employable. Several companies have set-up their own training institutes to fill the gap between what the education system delivers and what is needed in the market place. Also there is a dearth of engineers in areas other than software engineering. Because of opportunities and prevailing trends, most engineers gravitate towards computer engineering. This has exposed a gap in engineering skills for other professions – some that are just emerging as competitive areas.
Engineering in India compared to engineering in North America and EuropeEngineering profession in India is still evolving. Though Indian engineers are often considered the best in their mathematical abilities, R&D and high level engineering work still lags in India. The Indian industry recognizes this and is fast catching-up. They offer India as a low-cost destination for multinationals looking to reduce costs for high level work such as Research and Development. India has been especially successful in putting her engineers to work in several back-office functions. Many of them are employed in technical support. A lot of Indian companies also send their engineers on assignments to Europe and North America because they provide low-age alternative to local engineers. This helps the Indian companies to win contracts due to the price differential. This advantage has helped the software industry in carving out a niche for itself as a low cost, quality provider of technical work.
Civil engineering is also gaining ground in India. Because of the impetus on infrastructure, civil engineers are well in demand. However this demand is domestic only. Another emerging area is bio-medical engineering that is being pushed by the government.
However, some other fields of engineering are not well-developed such as offshore, nuclear etc. The reason is a lack of private participation in these industries.

Engineering in India

Engineering is a well respected profession in India. More and more students are choosing engineering as an undergraduate major and also as a career path. As a career, it is seen as a means to upward mobility. Today as per statistics – India graduates the largest number of engineers after China at around 350,000 per year.1
Engineering has long been seen as a safe profession in India. If nothing else, it meant that a person would have a steady income. Until the mid nineties, an engineer would finish his degree and if he or she was from a good engineering school, would head to the USA for a PHD and then settle down in the country pursuing a career in engineering. The nineties saw an influx of software engineers migrate to the USA, not necessarily more qualified but who could be hired for less money than their American counterpart.
The 21st century has seen a different trend. With the onset of technical outsourcing to India and other cheap foreign destinations from the USA and Europe, engineering degrees and careers have taken a whole new meaning in India. The last ten years has seen a lot of low skilled as well as software testing work shift to destinations like India due to the lower cost of labor. Several engineers of Indian origin in the USA are electing to go back as more and more opportunities emerge in India due to rapid globalization and shifting of technology related work to low cost destinations such as India.
History of Engineering in IndiaEngineering in India picked up momentum in 1947 after India’s independence from British rule. Engineering was considered a well-respected and stable profession. It was heavily dominated by men. The eighties saw a steady increase in women that took it up as a profession. The nineties saw a steady increase in computer engineering as more and more venues opened for Indian engineers in India and North America in the field of software programming.

The healthcare job outlook!

As the largest industry in 2006, health care provided 14 million jobs—13.6 million jobs for wage and salary workers and about 438,000 jobs for self-employed and unpaid family workers. Of the 13.6 million wage and salary jobs, 40 percent were in hospitals; another 21 percent were in nursing and residential care facilities; and 16 percent were in offices of physicians. The majority of jobs for self-employed and unpaid family workers in health care were in offices of physicians, dentists, and other health practitioners—about 295,000 out of the 438,000 total self-employed.
Health care will generate 3 million new wage and salary jobs between 2006 and 2016, more than any other industry. Seven of the twenty fastest growing occupations are health care related. Job opportunities should be good in all employment settings.
Wage and salary employment in the health care industry is projected to increase 22 percent through 2016, compared with 11 percent for all industries combined. Employment growth is expected to account for about 3 million new wage and salary jobs—20 percent of all wage and salary jobs added to the economy over the 2006-16 period. Projected rates of employment growth for the various segments of the industry range from 13 percent in hospitals, the largest and slowest growing industry segment, to 55 percent in the much smaller home health care services.

AIEEE Entrance Exam Eligibility
Qualifying examination
1) 10+2 or its equivalent from a recognized Board/University with a minimum aggregate of 50 % marks in Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics.
2) Those appearing in 10+2 final or equivalent examination may also appear in AIEEE for consideration of provisional admission.
Note: Only Indian students are eligible for AIEEE. Age limit: 16-24.

AIEEE Application Procedure
1) You can apply for AIEEE either on the prescribed application form or through the application format available on the website of AIEEE, i.e., http://www.aieee.nic.in/
2) You need to send the forms through Registered or Speed Post only. Application forms sent by Courier are not accepted.
3) You need to attach your photograph, signature and requisite fees with the forms.

Tips and Strategies
1) AIEEE is not difficult. However, its questions do have a need of being tackled with different tactics and perspectives.
2) Each question is different in its own way with an element of surprise in it. Candidates who know how and what to look for in a question are likely to score high in the test.
3) Since the most questions are basically designed to evaluate the conceptual clarity of the candidates and application of fundamental concepts, you should be focused on mastering all the fundamentals well.
4) You need to attain minimum qualifying scores in subject. Thus, focusing on one subject and ignoring the other may land you in a hot soup. So, divide your time among the subjects more equitably.
5) Focus on solving the problems on your own, while preparing for the exam. Here is a step-by-step guide outlining the ideal process for solving a problem:

• Try conventional methods first.


• If they don’t work out, try to understand the problem again and find clues that can lead you to solution.


• Go through the concepts related to the problem once again and see how they can be applied to the problem in hand.


• Try to relate the problem to real-life situations. It will help you to analyze it better.


• Consult the solution, only when you have exhausted your limits. See, what you had missed earlier.


• Practice similar problems.


• Devise your own shortcuts and ways to tackle particular kind of problems.

6) In AIEEE, both speed and strike rate matter. You need to be quick and accurate to achieve high scores. High speed with less accuracy can actually ruin your results.

7) Never use calculator while preparing for the AIEEE exam. Being adept in mental calculations can actually increase your speed to a great extent.

8) Select your questions wisely. About 25% questions in the examinations paper are easy, 60% are average and 25% are difficult. Attempt easy questions first.

9) The cut-off for AIEEE examination is generally around 60 to 70%. So, if you just solve easy and average questions correctly, you can easily get through. Once you have exhausted these questions, you may attempt difficult ones to make merit.

10) If you indicate more than one answer for a particular question, it will be considered as an incorrect response and you will lose marks on it.

11) Once you are done with the questions you know well, apply the method of intelligent guessing and elimination for questions you are not sure about.

Examination tips!

1) Concentrate on the basic concepts.Strengthen your fundamentals.



2) Once you are through with the concepts,you need to develop problem solving skills.Initially problems of low level should be tried and only when you have mastered them,you should go on to solving intricate JEE type problems.ALways give full attempt the question before seeing the solutions.Try to recall all the formula,concepts and try the solve the problems.



3) Once you are through with the course. You should start taking Mock test. This will give you the feel of the examination. Try to give as many as possible. Judge your speed and accuracy. You wont feel tensed and stressed on the examination day this way.



4) Make shorts notes for last revision before examination. Those should contains all the important formule which will help you in solving the problems fast.



5) Develop an habbit of judgeing the question .You should be able to judge the question whether you should go for it or not. This is very important thing. There will always few question in JEE paper which will be very tough. If you put your head in those question, you will waste your time and you will not any thing. SO it is important to judge the question. You should never attempt any question which you don’t know head and tail of it.



6) Before starting doing the IITJEE paper

Step 1: Take a quick glance of the paper so that you are aware what all type of question and what all topics are given. It should be done in first three minutes

Step 2: Search for questions of topics which is strong to you. Read the questions of the topics and if you have done similar type of question and you are confident about it. Attempt that question. Do this for all the topics you are strong in

Step 3:Now try to find the questions in your strong topics which looks easy and solvable to you Step 4: Try to find easy and solvable question to you in the topics you are not very strong
7) Stay focussed and maintain a positive attitude
8) Develop speed. Refer to reputed mock-test series to build a winning exam temperament.

9) Remember it is quality of time spent and not the quantity alone.

Proper Planning

Usually, students study for about 1 or 2 yrs to prepare for IIT JEE. So, planning plays an important role. A good planning strategy will keep you focussed and results in better gains. Make a to-do list, set your goals, work out how much time is needed to achieve them, and allocate a realistic time window. See if you are able to achieve them, if yes, set more ambitious goals next time, if not, analyze what went wrong and how can you improve. Knowledge horizon curricula is well planned and takes one step at a time to help you to understand the fundamentals correctly.
Time Management

One only has 24 hours in a day (and one can study only 6-8 hrs in a day). So, its very important to efficiently use that time. Proper planning helps in better time management.
Confidence

"Jo dar gaya samjho mar gaya", said by Gabbar in movie Sholay. Although self belief and confidence are crucial in general. Ideally, just by reading a question, one should be able to say that I can (or cannot) solve this problem. If you say may be, may be not, then there is something wrong. Note that this is very important to judge whether you can (or cannot) solve the problem, as in exam you simply don't have time to try and test. It also makes your learning process efficient .How to improve confidence, or more precisely how to answer the million dollar question? Very simple, whenever you solve a question (or see a solution), think about the big picture. e.g. Why this method worked? Is it possible to apply other methods to the question (or some part of the question)? Will it work? Why or why not? It may take some time initially, but thats worth. Try this strategy for a topic, and you will realize feeling more and more confident as you solve more problems.One more thing, whenever you see a new problem, try to break it into sub-problems (Divide and Rule). e.g. What is needed to get the answer, how can I get it etc. Remember britishers ruled india for more than 200 years using divide and rule policy :)
Optimizing the output (Baniyagiri)

"Baniya" is a caste in India which mostly represents business class society. So, Baniyagiri means optimizing the output given the investment. In JEE preparation, the investment is the effort you put in, and the output is the learning. As I said earlier, one can study only 6-8 hours in a day, it is very important to optimize the output. Hard work is necessary, it does not guarantee success.
Fun/Health

Just for the sake of completeness, let me assert that don't make fun and health secondary in your life. JEE preparation takes 1 or 2 yrs to prepare and its very important to be healthy. And of course, enjoy your life. Go out and play some games, talk with friends.
