Engineering Needs more of practicals !!!
Finally...
when I came out my lab after getting my output verified my joy spell no bounds... Its not just the matter of completing yet an other subject in my Engineering, but also it is a LAB!!! Every engineering student knows the real worth of pain in completing a single laboratory. On the very first lab class one may be so curious to know everything that lays front of them. The touch of the transistor and resistors for the first time would make them feel like a life time achievement. The days will pass by and on one fine day the pressure starts mounting when you fail to record your reading in your observation. This in future will extend to records. The person who felt pride to do the experiments by touching new kits will feel it as a shame to do then after.
What turns the tale?
Its just the lecturer who handles us the laboratory. This may sound funny and you may think it is the propensity of every student to blame teachers. But the truth lies in it. When a student asks a professor "Sir/Madam could we do this in other way ?"..... The answer he gets straight away is " Do what I say !!"
From that the student will train himself not even to touch the components other than the things mentioned in the circuit diagram .
And if he dares to do that, he will be the least scorer in that particular laboratory !!
I am not here to blame the lecturers. They have to wrap up the syllabus...Show themselves as the best and first to complete the things in the syllabus. Not only that..every student must keep in their mind that the same lecturers would have been under the very same syllabus and would have been trained by the lectures of the same kind.
If one wishes to change anything....He/She must change the education system of our country. It is not that easy as the education has become more of business now. If the government is not capable of revising the fee of school, how come a citizen trust a government to change the education system of the future ?
Let us get back to the business...
What is the use in making us learn equation when we doesnt know the application of it?
What is the use of the high cost instruments installed in labs where students are restricted to use it ?
I know that practical demonstration of each and every engineering concept is not possible...but is it too difficult to show us the transistor when the mechanism of radio is explained ? In my view, there is no worth in having theoretical classes for hours. Instead have one practical lab explaining the concept and that will do the rest. A mere count of twenty labs during the entire four year course in engineering is not at all fair to make an engineering student to solve the practical difficulty he is going to face later. How come the core companies recruit a student who has a mere practical experience of 60 hours during his entire course of engineering ? Eventually every one who studies different branches fall into IT company... Then what is the use of dividing engineering students into branches !!!
Atleast by now the government to take measures to promote more practical engineering.
Let the government distribute proper components to demonstrate the concept to students instead of free books....
ONE MINUTE !!!!
It is not over here !!! One kind request to the lecturers... No student will hate the practical class unless he is forced to come and asked to submit records.To be honest records are of no use. What is the necessity to draw resistor to 2cm and transistor to 3cm ? No student will keep that record for his future reference. Don't torchure the student to submit his record or to come with the dress code. Instead make him feel that lab is the place where he could learn something through visualization.Make him understand that he is not brought to lab to reduce his confidence rather to increase his knowledge.
And
If you(lecturer) doesn't know something please admit it and when the student comes out with the solution appreciate it. Education is continual learning process and that has to be done by both.

FAILURE IS THE STEPPING STONE OF SUCCESS !!!!!!
Even the best of students can fail a class in college. It may not be what you wanted, but it happened -- and figuring out what to do next is just as important as preventing it from happening again.
- Learn what impact the grade will have on your academics. Are you no longer eligible for the next course in a series? Do you need to rearrange your schedule next semester? Do you need to register again for this class? Do you need to take a summer course to stay on track for graduation?
- Learn what impact the grade will have on your financial aid. Many schools allow for an academic slip-up here and there (financially speaking), but if you are on academic probation, are not taking enough units, or have any other sort of complication, failing a class can have a major impact on your financial aid. Check with the financial aid office about what your failed grade may mean for your particular situation.
- Be honest with yourself about why you failed. Did you party too much? Over-commit yourself to cocurricular activities? Not study enough for the tests? Turn in assignments late? Have a bad professor you need to make sure you don't get again? Figuring out where things went wrong can help you figure out what you'll need to get right in order to pass this class (and any other) in the future.
- Tell your parents or anyone else you may need to. Your parents may not have a legal right to your grades, but you may still need to tell them. Putting the failed grade out into the open will give you one less thing to stress about and, hopefully, provide you with the support you need to prevent it from happening again.
- Move on and let go. So you failed a class. True, it can have major implications, but it's not the end of the world. Admit you messed up, figure out what happened, and move on. Since you're in college to learn, take away what you can from the experience and make the most of it -- because that's what college is supposed to be all about anyway, right?
