COMMENTARY Engineering teaching and research in IITs and its impact on India* Milind Sohoni This note analyses the nature of research and development (R&D) as it is practised in our premier engineering institutes and its effect on India’s development. I argue that the dominant paradigm of R&D is too abstract for it to be accessible to a wider set of students and teachers‚ and for it to yield developmental dividends. Furthermore‚ our metrics for R&D are too ‘international’ to incentivize work

Reservoir engineering is a branch of petroleum engineering that applies scientific principles to the drainage problems arising during the development and production of oil and gas reservoirs so as to obtain a high economic recovery. The working tools of the reservoir engineer are subsurface geology‚ applied mathematics‚ and the basic laws of physics and chemistry governing the behavior of liquid and vapor phases of crude oil‚ natural gas‚ and water in reservoir rock. Of particular interest to reservoir

a career in engineering. Coupled with that I have a leaning towards medicine; I also enjoy biology and I would love to be able to work towards helping people in a healthcare environment. Having seen the radiology laboratory of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA headquarters in Vienna) was exciting because it demonstrated the role of physics and engineering in modern medicine. Engineers and Physicists are constantly working on their new achievements in biomedical engineering; For example

late teens‚ my mind has been bombarded with what-ifs and buts. Irrespective of my change of heart‚ I still have an intense passion for math and science since it is how we explain the world around us‚ and that is why I have settled on biomedical engineering. Imagining a career founded on helping people and bettering their lives puts a smile on my face. With so many diseases and events in the world‚ there is a need for constant innovation when it comes to medical devices and research. A

Soil mechanics is one of the new disciplines of civil engineering‚ concerning the study of soil. It gathers data and provides the theoretical base for analysis in geotechnical engineering. In earlier times‚ constructions were built based on assumptions. After some important foundation-related engineering problems‚ example of the Leaning Tower of Pisa‚ engineers

1. The use of knowledge and understanding of mathematics in engineering context. Mathematics is science of pattern that engineers seek out whether found in numbers‚ space‚ science‚ computers‚ imaginary abstractions‚ or elsewhere. Knowledge and use of basic mathematics have always been an inherent and integral part of engineering. In our previous semester‚ basic mathematics was applied in almost every module. From stress analysis of simple machine components to numerical description of various

1) engineering as a professional : a) Differentiate between Job and Professional Job stands for "just over broke" thus requiring minimal education and one with little to no experience will suffice to get the job done. One can easily be replaced at a job. Profession is a commitment to a higher level of education where on must attend and acquire skilled training. A profession requires critical thinking skills. Profession vs Job * The field in which a person works is referred to as

Final Paper Sociological Theory Genetic Engineering The debate program I chose was Intelligence Squared and was on the Prohibition of Genetically Engineered Babies. The debate was mediated by John Donvan and took place in February 2013. The two views were for and against the prohibition of genetically modifying the human genome. To start off the debate two debaters on each side stated their case. For prohibiting were Sheldon Krimsky‚ a professor at Tuft’s University and chair of The Genetic

This conviction and a natural aptitude for science and mathematics convinced me to opt for civil engineering in bachelors as the most fitting career for me. For me education and learning is constant process and it’s a crucial part of every human’s life. I strongly believe that this process of learning new things is strongly backed by the magical word
