<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-yo6cwricZhg/VnvbqZCg7NI/AAAAAAAAAn4/zXLeh4OE9Ho/s1600/women%2Bin%2Bengineering.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-yo6cwricZhg/VnvbqZCg7NI/AAAAAAAAAn4/zXLeh4OE9Ho/s1600/women%2Bin%2Bengineering.jpg" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Female dominance in engineering career - Ever heard of the word gender discrimination? We have grown reading, talking and writing about gender discrimination in support of females all over the world. In my observation, scenario has changed a lot now. Now men need such a voice to cut female dominance in jobs in any corporate sector.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />Dimensions of discrimination have now changed so rapidly that when me and a friend of mine went for an interview in a corporate company. He gave very interesting remarks just before we appeared in interview.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<blockquote>
<span style="color: orange;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><i>“Either you should have a fucking good GPA or you must be a girl to secure a job in a multinational company”. Unfortunately, I had nothing. I still remember the pain in that voice.</i></b></span></span></blockquote>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Jokes apart, this is a reality. Engineering students are now fed up of this. So I thought to give it a try and I raised my voice for the first time over internet through this article. Men are being discriminated at engineering institutes, at job sectors, just everywhere.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />When it comes to admissions in an engineering institute, we are discriminated by low number of female fellows in class. No matter if you are studying mechanical engineering, or civil engineering, or electronics engineering or even software engineering. Surprisingly, ratio of female to male students has remained low in any engineering class compared to other disciplines of arts or sciences at any university. <span style="color: blue;"><b>This disturbs straight-forwardness of so many bright scholars at this young age. From straight-forwardness, I am referring to sexual orientation here.</b></span> Even my engineering class had 1 female in 80 males. As a result that one female also adopted manly habits from so many male fellows.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />The discrimination does not end here. It is just a start. After graduation, or even before that during internships, preference is given to females just because they <strike>have good CGPA, good communication skills, better knowledge</strike> are females.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />When applying for jobs, I have not seen any girl in engineering institutes who will not be shortlisted for interview. No matter if the company has a policy to hire females for that job or not. It is just that she is a female. Why this discrimination boss? I could never learn until I was a boss myself.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />Similarly, all females appearing in an interview will be hired if enough number of seats are available. Men are given second priority after that. This has to stop. We have to raise our voice before man’s generation is crushed by these holy corporate hiring policies and procedure. Either raise your voice or be a boss to enjoy the same company.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;">
<img alt="The most adventurous career" border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-I-ElvAeG6aE/U7A_BdeCP4I/AAAAAAAAAPM/TgxlQdKNEeg/s1600/The+most+adventurous+career.jpg" title="The most adventurous career" /></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Some people love being adventurous all the time. Engineers are one of them. There are many career paths in life which offer us very daring and challenging environments. For example if we think about some of these adventurous careers, we can mark army, marines, police, hikers, engineers, racers, wildlife explorers, fighter pilots and scientists among some challenging career paths. I prefer life of an engineer among them all. I think they are “most adventurous”. In services like that of army and police, it’s more about duty than fun.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Every day in the life of an engineer is a new day which offers him new challenges. He keeps on discovering new mechanisms to improve life on earth, in the air and even inside water. I don’t think there is any field on earth where engineers or products manufactured by them are not in action. Just think about it. Engineering is everywhere. In the war field, space stations, transportation, and all other technologies.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
It’s easy to fill your car tanks with fuel from a fuel station. But who is bringing this fuel to your city near your home? Who is working on these oil exploration and extraction sites? This is all being done with the help of adventurous engineers.<br />
<br />
Although there are some engineering fields which require more tough on-site jobs like mechanical engineering, civil engineering and chemical engineering etc. But this does not mean that engineering fields like software engineering and computer engineering are not challenging at all. They have their own type of adventure on work. Making new applications, gadgets, software and user friendly products is as much fun.<br />
<br />
An engineering career is not only exciting and offers constantly varying work; it is also an exceptionally rewarding career with countless benefits and opportunities of continues growth and learning. And then most important thing is that after graduating with a degree in engineering, you can join any other field for a professional career. For example you can join army as an engineer. You can join fire fighting companies to help them in making latest products for fire fighting. Who said you cannot join medical field after engineering? If engineers won’t join medical companies then who will be making machines for doctors?<br />
<br />
Last but not the least, as it’s shared very commonly on social networks, engineering education itself is very challenging and requires a lot of work, assignments and projects. Not everyone can be an engineer so easily. It requires passing too many technical courses and projects.<br />
<br />
I hope I gave you an idea of the most adventurous career in the world. I love to hear your comments on my articles. I’ll try my best to reply on all comments. Kindly share with your friends :)</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-N-kfFN4dTwo/Uhtz8JIR-3I/AAAAAAAAAMg/pTmjNNBCjHU/s1600/Which+is+best+engineering+field.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Which is best engineering field?" border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-N-kfFN4dTwo/Uhtz8JIR-3I/AAAAAAAAAMg/pTmjNNBCjHU/s1600/Which+is+best+engineering+field.JPG" title="Which is best engineering field?" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There always is a lot of debate on this topic among students. In any engineering university, students from each branch of engineering try to show their faculty or engineering field to be superior on others. This is a hot topic of discussion among many friends during college years. I have no authority to give you a verdict about best engineering field. What I am going to do here is that I’ll try to make things more explainable to you guys. I’ll try my best to tell you how these engineering branches are coupled together.<br /><br />Let’s start from the term “The Best”. How do you define the best? In my opinion, when students talk about being one discipline best, they do so based on few questions like:</div>
<ul style="text-align: justify;">
<li>What is the scope of this engineering degree?</li>
<li>What are job prospects after graduation?</li>
<li>What average starting salary is offered?</li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
These three questions are the most common ones. <br /><br /><b>Scope of an engineering degree:</b> I do agree here with the fact that some engineering fields have broader scope as compared to many other engineering fields. Does it really define the good or bad between the two? For example if we talk about scope of mechanical engineering and scope of architectural engineering. There is a lot of difference between the two. Mechanical engineering has a broader scope and more fields of application while architectural engineering is limited to a few job descriptions. Forget about mechanical engineering, in this age of science and technology, Software engineering has the highest scope. These are the guys which are required in all the industries. We are going towards automation and computer control. This makes software engineers a core element of each team. So based on these facts, can we assume that software engineering is the best branch of engineering? <span style="color: #cc0000;"><strike>No we can’t!</strike></span> With due respect, all credit goes to architect engineers who design and build comfortable buildings, rooms and apartments for us all to live in and to work in.<br /><br /><b>Let’s discuss job prospects:</b> If you are good in your field, I have never seen anyone who is capable and is jobless. Even those who are not capable, never remain jobless. Yeah it’s true that some engineers get more job opportunities than others. But in my personal opinion, it makes no difference. For example, if job opportunities are higher for mechanical engineers, students graduating with this degree are also higher in number as compared to other engineering fields. So jobs are highly competitive. You will only get one if you deserve one.<br /><br /><b>What average starting salary is offered to engineers:</b> It differs from company to company, industry to industry and state to state. Even it depends on quality of your educational degrees and institutes. It also depends on nature of your job. Some management related jobs are high paid as compared to technical jobs. That’s <a href="http://www.voiceofengineers.com/2013/08/why-mba-after-engineering.html" target="_blank">why engineers prefer doing MBA</a>. All engineers are almost paid at the same level in a same company and work environment.<br /><br />So neither Scope, nor salary nor job prospects define “<a href="http://www.voiceofengineers.com/2013/08/which-is-best-engineering-field.html" target="_blank"><b>The best engineering field</b></a>”. <span style="color: #38761d;"><i>No discipline is good or bad. It’s you and your skills that are going to make real difference in future.</i></span> So prepare to be the best in your field, in your class and in your batch. Learn all the <a href="http://www.voiceofengineers.com/2013/08/skills-required-for-engineering.html" target="_blank">engineering skills</a> that you can. Get some professional certifications. Learn software that are required for engineers. To be the best, you have to work hard for it! That’s the only definition of being the best.<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
There are many engineering students and professionals who choose management fields as their professional career line. For many engineers, it’s a matter of luck while for a few others it’s a field of choice. I am also an advocate of doing MBA after engineering and for that purpose I’ll share some thoughts and opinions which will explain you the myth behind this.<br />
<br />
Luck brings many Engineers here: This is a fact! When graduating engineers start applying for jobs, many of them will be placed in companies which will require them to work in departments like Supply Chain, Marketing, Sales, Finance and Operations/Project management. These fields have nothing to do with their educational background. They are trained to do all these tasks under one year training program called “Graduate Management Trainees” in most cases. This is the time when they start losing interest in their engineering education and they feel more comfortable in less technical tasks. Besides this luck factor, there are many other reasons why engineers choose to be managers and study <a href="http://www.voiceofengineers.com/search/label/MBA%20after%20Engineering" target="_blank">MBA after engineering</a> degrees:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><span style="color: orange;"><b>Higher Salaries:</b> </span>First reason which attracts many engineers towards management fields is that it’s highly paid field in a less technical work environment. In most of the cases, jobs for fresh graduates are highly paid in management field as compared to technical engineering jobs. Engineers working on technical projects will earn less than those who are working on managerial positions. Although work schedule on technical jobs is very tough as compared to managerial jobs.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><span style="color: orange;"><b>Combined Functional and Technical Perspective:</b></span> Because engineers who do MBA after engineering, prove to be a better asset for companies. Engineers and MBA both look at things in a different perspective. Engineers will always think in a technical approach and MBA will always think in a functional approach. Both approaches are important for business development. Now if an engineer is capable of thinking in both these approaches in a broader perspective, he can definitely play an important role in growth of an organization. This ability to utilize both technical and business skills to provide solutions is a valuable asset for any company.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><span style="color: orange;"><b>Better job opportunities:</b></span> Finding a job after a degree in engineering is very hard in this era of Globalization and Competition. You need to have something more. You need to stand out from the crowd. Now how you do it, it’s all dependent on you. Some graduates chose to get some professional certifications.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><span style="color: orange;"><b>Interest:</b></span> Of course this is another factor which drives us to do MBA after BE. As I said earlier, there are a few engineering graduates who do it by choice. Interest is their gravity which pulls them towards MBA.</li>
</ul>
<br />
I hope so far you have known some reasons behind doing MBA after engineering. Now that if you are interested in MBA after BE, there are some more tips for you:<br />
<br />
<i>MBA is not always a non Technical job. There are many students who choose fields like Quality Control, Six Sigma, Total Quality Management, Sales engineering, Auditing, Health and Safety as their major courses in MBA. This opens a complete new door of opportunities for them where they can enjoy working in both technical and managerial environments at the same time.</i><br />
<br />

Do you want to know about <a href="http://www.voiceofengineers.com/2013/08/top-7-best-cars-of-all-time.html" target="_blank">best cars of all time</a>? Car designer Jeff Teague gives us his picks for the top seven best engineered cars in history, factoring in both affordability and a great ride. Jeff Teague is a <a href="http://www.voiceofengineers.com/search/label/Automotive%20Design" target="_blank">Automotive Designer</a> and his father was also an expert in the same field. This is how he had the opportunity to design, drive and test several of these cars in his life time.<br />
<br />
Among all the machinery made by humans till today, car is one of the greatest things man has ever manufactured. It has altered the way we live and it has given style to our life. Now let’s have a look at Teague’s list of top 7 cars:<br />

<span style="color: #cc0000;"><b>1907 Mercedes Touring cars:</b></span> America witnessed this elite car and the quality of engineering which was employed in manufacturing this car just surpassed all the standards being introduced till that time. These cars were designed to work at 70 HP. If you ever get a chance to see this car anywhere, you will be astonished after seeing the quality of material used. Aluminum was used along with casting techniques.<br />

There are several opinions by experts that Rolls Phantom was the best car by Rolls-Royce. But Teague suggests Silver Ghost from 1907. “Remarkable, Elegant, Good looking”. It was declared to be the best car on Earth. It gave you the feel of Luxury over other cars introduced till that time. Silver Ghost was incredible with a 134-inch wheelbase and a curb weight just above 3,000 lbs.<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
What to do during summers of junior years? Hey engineers, believe me or not, summer vacations are the best time in the life of an engineering student, both to enjoy and utilize. With three to four months of break off from the routine study life, a student may do a numerous number of activities to keep himself busy and productive at the same time.<br />
<br />
The first and foremost activity other than enjoying and spending time with friends and family that every junior year engineering student must do is to indulge in a summer internship. Each engineering student must look to practically apply on what they have learned during the course of their academic program till the date and look for opportunities to see their actual implementation in real world. In junior year, summer internships are not hard to find by, reputed universities have their industry-academia offices which have a strong linkage with the industry personnel who help them get one matching their taste within some time. Once the internship is started, students must utilize their time by taking initiative to learn whatever is experimented in the industry for maximum fruitful outcome.<br />
<br />
With the advancement of technology, large number of technical and non-technical institute have started short diploma courses of four to six weeks in various disciplines for young students that help them groom by teaching them the use of basic software and hardware technologies which are not part of their academic syllabus. Such crash courses do come in handy in one aspect of work or the other. Still wondering What to do during summers of junior years?<br />
<br />
To brush up their skills, many students do not waste their time and start teaching the younger ones who aim to study engineering, few courses such as calculus and programming skills to get them well versed with how engineering kicks off. The prospect engineering students at a very early age are enthusiastic about learning such things and take keen interest to do with perfection.<br />
<br />
If a student has a research oriented aptitude, he may start applying during the course of his studies to a research center program oversee to explore about a subject that appeals him in order to get a better insight. Such centers are usually run and administered by highly qualified professors under whose shadow a junior student may learn a lot which could be very productive later on during the course of their degree. <br />
<br />
Learning well and getting good grades always help a student in one walk of life or the other, with his effort never going in vain. If a student believes that he has all the required command over a certain subject, websites like <a href="http://www.odesk.com/">www.odesk.com</a> , <a href="http://www.rentacoder.com/">www.rentacoder.com</a> , <a href="http://www.elancer.com/">www.elancer.com</a> and many others are meant for him. He could simply log on to the relevant section and look for online projects matching with his taste and earn up to thousands.<br />
<br />
Hence instead of wasting time by sitting idle in front of computers and tv, engineering student being in the junior year can do a number of productive activities to kill them time and get sometime useful out of it. I hope this article will help many engineering students in learning what to do during summers of junior years?</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Best programming languages to learn which are necessary for software engineers. Software Engineering is a dreamland for those who love to code and posses an evergreen future for such individuals. Although, it is not a good practice to learn a specific language, however it is a programmer’s logic which matters while you code a program. Once a person knows the logic necessary for building the program, it is all a matter of following syntax to conclude the development process. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
Now the question is, what programming languages are important and necessary for software engineers to learn? There exist numerous niches in programming with tends to be solved using few sets of languages. A good programmer should start learning with a concrete goal in his mind and target specific problems needed to be dealt with. With that being said, there exists specific language for certain program to be developed and effective results. One of the big languages that are widely used for application development purposes and at times tend to be difficult to work on includes C language; it is a general purpose programming language, develops structural language skills and serves as a basis for many small programming languages. A lot of it is used in desktop application development and scripting with an easy to learn syntax .There are said to be more jobs in C language than any other programming language. <br />
<br />
C++ which has its syntax derived from C, is a significant language and available on all platforms for the beginners to learn. It is a generic programming language, based on the Object Oriented paradigm and nourishes and individual especially in the aerospace, security and defense industries. Another common language, which tends to replace Java on the Window Desktop and Windows Server, is C#. It is an essential part of the Windows .Net framework and comes in as a handy tool especially for those who love to work on Windows. C# which appears much similar in syntax to Java has most of the it’s applications in Linux being run on Mono Project. <br />
<br />
Java has been a very common programming language over the years and is available on various platforms to be developed. For someone who has command over C#, Java language is not a tough ask to be learn with just the libraries left to be covered and switching of some syntax. The Java Virtual Machine on which it is run, can be made on different platforms hence making it adaptable to run on computers with dissimilar operating system. It has its own Application Programming Interfaces which acts as pre-built set of classes upon which a program may be customized. Life has been made easy with the use of Garbage Collector in Java which unlike C++ doesn’t causes a memory leak and automatically recovers memory, thus saving your program’s efficiency, developmental and debugging time. <br />
<br />
For those software engineers who wish to excel in Computer Systems or Hardware discipline, learning and using of Assembly language is always a plus point. People who have their interests inclined towards scripting or web application development often chose interpretive and cross platform languages such as PHP which has a high speed caching and code plug-ins. Another similar language Perl, which focuses on processing tiles of text is widely used for web server programs on a large basis. Ruby on rails is yet another web application framework following an MVC architecture is skillful tool to learn for someone interested in web development.<br />
<br />
I hope this article gives a good idea about best programming language to learn. There is no language good or bad. You just need to know what you want to do with that.<br />

<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ppEb75SLMMg/UgOyqA8qskI/AAAAAAAAAI4/4X-XXjUYFcM/s1600/Skills+required+for+engineering.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Skills required for engineering" border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ppEb75SLMMg/UgOyqA8qskI/AAAAAAAAAI4/4X-XXjUYFcM/s1600/Skills+required+for+engineering.jpg" title="Skills required for engineering" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
What are some basic skills required for engineers? At every level in an organization, engineers need to be influential to stand out among the best living examples in order to drive innovations to benefit their respective employers. For a fresh engineer, the label of being an engineer looks very lucrative at first glance, but as you delve further, you get to know that technical skills only are not sufficient for you to grow, hence giving birth to numerous soft skills. <br />
<br />
It is anticipated that every engineer, irrespective of his work trait will foster and develop qualities of knowledge and understanding, intellectual abilities, practical skills, <a href="http://www.voiceofengineers.com/2013/07/presentation-skills-for-engineers.html" target="_blank">presentation skills</a> and general work ethics. A graduating engineer should be able to specialize this knowledge based area with a command over the constraints and impact of solution over a society. He is expected to have a professional understanding of the subject matter with responsibilities, awareness of contemporary issues and business management methodologies. <br />
<br />
A graduating engineer is expected to have high intellectual abilities and ability to solve engineering problems through effective system design and innovative thinking abilities. He should use the knowledge acquired from engineering studies to solve mathematical and scientific problems to analyze and interpret data whenever demanded. He should be able to make professional judgments based on cost/benefit analysis, with the ability to asses and manage safety and risks. This is why <a href="http://www.voiceofengineers.com/2013/08/technical-writing-for-engineers.html" target="_blank">technical writing for engineers</a> is of high importance.<br />
<br />
Mostly during the course of engineering studies, stress is laid upon theoretical knowledge to make a student understand the insight logic of a subject; however the knowledge is actually imparted when practical exposure is given. Therefore, being an engineer a must-to-learn skill remains the need to learn the actual implementation of an object using tools, techniques and equipment appropriate to the work been done. For instance; a software engineer must try to code as much as possible rather than just focusing on understanding how do they execute. An electrical engineer should serve his time in developing circuits rather than only stressing upon their analysis. <br />
<br />
Every engineer must possess a can-do attitude for every task coming his way, even if he knows nothing regarding it, because when you say such irrefutable words, a layer of positivism runs from inside and get you going with the work. Moreover, <a href="http://www.voiceofengineers.com/2013/05/importance-communication-skills-for-engineers.html" target="_blank">effective communication is yet another must-to-possess skill for engineers</a>, who should be able to read and write while making use of Information Technological tools as a big asset. At one level or the other, management plays a vital role in a project. <br />
<br />
Each engineer is expected to have a high degree of project management and people’s management skills to lead his team successfully towards the stated goal. For the accomplishment of such purpose, courses like Project Management, Total Quality Management and Operations Management are to be taught from the undergraduate level to engineering students so they may gain some guidance over the subject. On the same note, engineers are anticipated to be leaders starting from a very basic level to guide themselves and their respective teams over the right path.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
What are different types of engineering fields and branches present now a days? Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Chemical Engineering and Civil Engineering are some vital branches of Engineering.<br />
<br />
Mechanical engineering is the engineering version with which the majority of people are familiar with quite well. Mechanical engineers undertake several tasks. They assemble engines as well as mechanical structures; delightful park rides, bascule bridges, and a lot other stuff comprising of tires as well as air condition systems. They ought to have experience in several departments comprising of structural analysis, mathematics, material science as well as electronics. <br />
<br />
Amongst all the types of engineering, electrical engineering and mechanical engineering have a close relation. You would probably desire a capable machine and cheap electricity in order to play any component. Electrical engineering is the study of electronic items and devices, like power sources, as well as electromagnetism. Domestic electrical engineers keep on studying thoroughly, the manner of installing various components as well as a variety of power software in businesses and homes from most important power plants. Software Engineering as well as Computer System Engineering are both associated with Electrical Engineering.<br />
<br />
Chemical engineering is closely associated with electrical as well as mechanical engineering. Chemical engineers do their research on nanotechnology. They fabricate the machines and systems which are employed by the manufacturing of oral drugs and vaccines. In order to become a chemical engineer a very long time period is require. <br />
<br />
Civil engineering is regarded as a field of engineering that binds the complicated process together. Civil engineers work for military reasons and also for civilian ones. They construct bridges, roads, dams and several kinds of buildings. Civil engineering is required in almost every walk of life; professions such as municipal engineering, environmental engineering, transportation engineering and structural engineering.<br />
<br />
Aerospace engineers design and come up with few of the most splendid machinery in the world. Commercial aero planes, armed forces fighter aircrafts as well as space telescopes are all made by aerospace engineers. However, aerospace technology consists of many earthbound applications like assisting in the race cars’ design as well as golf balls’ design.<br />
<br />
Agricultural engineers devise farm and food processing tools, build crop storage and domestic animals’ buildings, and build up systems for irrigation, drainage and waste dumping. Every now and then agricultural engineers work in EPCOT's Land Pavilion labs where they practice capable indoor farming methods like hydroponics which is the science of plants growth in fluids devoid of dirt.<br />
<br />
Metallurgical and materials engineers dig out, process, purify, coalesce, and produce natural substances to form stronger and corrosion-resistant materials. They just work with metal. It was a group of metallurgy and materials engineers that shaped the American Air Force's "stealth" technology, making a fighter aircraft’s surface virtually undetectable on radar.<br />
<br />
Project engineering and management deal with the 'engineering' of all kinds of projects, from ideas and viability studies through to assembling and commissioning by employing multidisciplinary teamwork. A project engineer-manager specializes in project processes as well as systems, a noteworthy role in a society getting more and more reliant on the formation and management of projects to resolve its environmental, economic as well as social issues. <br />
<br />
Summary: Basically all types of engineers must have a firsthand knowledge of structural analysis, mathematics, material science as well as electronics. Engineers play the main role in the development of various technologies for a particular nation.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
No one can deny the importance of technical writing for engineering professionals. Technical writing, irrespective of what engineering discipline you chose to adopt as a career to pursue, acts as a crucial part. Technical writers who are also known as communicators or information developers are formed via a strong blend of technical background and writing abilities. From a junior level to a well qualified executive post, the skills of technical writing come as an integral function in the working profession of an engineer.<br />
<br />
A very common myth which prevails in our society and acts as a barrier to those who intend to indulge in technical writing profession is that fact that the realm is just meant for those who are poor in programming skills or only such people go for it who lack in effective problem solving. What also hinders the growth and trend of an engineer interested in this profession is that it is a common man’s believe that engineers who wish to be technical writers are degraded in the society and possess a low pay scale compared to the field or development engineers. However, either of the claims holds no degree of truth whatsoever and such claims often tend to be full of flaw.<br />
<br />
The fact of the matter is that no matter what engineering degree you intend to do, it does involve a certain level of knowledge regarding technical writing. It is wrong to interpret that if a person has done Computer Software Engineering, he will be liable to code the programs or conduct its specified tests to ensure its compliance only or a Mechanical Engineering would have his work limited to the use of Machines or thermodynamics, rather extensive writing of technical nature is always inculcated in the process. According to statistics, around 20 to 30 percent of an engineer’s time is served to writing purposes in one way or the other. At times he is supposed to narrate writing specifications, documentation, technical reports, feasibility reports, grant approvals so on and forth. Reputed companies who want their resources to be well versed with every single department they work on and a thorough professional, chose to give their employee a cross functional exposure of the work in a round robin fashion while includes the work of technical writing to a great extent.<br />
<br />
A lot of this comes from reading technical papers and journals which helps an engineer in developing a sense of technical writing and assists in showing the organizations a positive correlation between writing skills and the amount of time that an engineer spends reading the technical matter. Hence, reading and then writing critiques hold the key to a good technical writing ability.<br />
<br />
Therefore, to ensure that the students learn to read closely rather than just scampering through the texts, course instructors are required to make their students write a rhetorical critique of the technical work focusing a certain domain of engineering. The soon they develop this awareness of distinguishing between the good and poor content, the earlier will they be able to reproduce quality content reflecting clearly the work assigned in a galvanized manner.<br />
<br />
I hope this article will help many engineering students in learning the importance of technical writing for engineers. Because I feel many junior year students feel don’t take this subject very seriously. Your comments are a constant source of encouragement for me to write more.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Why presentations are important for engineers and how they can improve their presentation skills? The best way to kill your fear is to speak in front of public and making presentation to express your verdict with emphasis. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Like any other profession, Presentation skills hold an eminent position in the life of an engineer. A standardized and systematic approach involving effective knowledge, practice and constructive feedback opens path to a distinct presentation skills.<br />
The fact that majority of students being shy, avoid public speaking at junior levels of their college life comes in as a downside at a later stage in their profession life where they lack necessary basis to present. Hence to cater this problem, universities must focus on every engineering student to extensively take part in presentations; the best way to do so being asking students to make presentation for every single coursework projects that they are a part of and express their view in front of the whole class. <br />
<br />
After being hired as a fresh graduate, you may be required to meet the higher management and deliver presentations for the amount of work you have done till a said time. Being new at the organization, every associate looks forward to have high expectations from you and to meet the desired standards you must be excellent while delivering. This is why presentation skills for engineers are of high importance.<br />
<br />
The basic thing to go on for a making a presentation is to be clear of your target audience and make presentation according to how they would perceive it easily. For instance if you are a computer engineer, make sure that all the specifications, programming assignment or test cases delivery that you are a part of, is effectively translated to the higher management so that they make take further stance on it. If not delivered in an understandable manner, it will be of no use to them and the project might go in vain. Similarly a mechanical or electrical engineer must be sure of what he has learned and how is he going to deliver it further to the leads. Jotting down of major points to emphasize is always a good practice. This is the point where you get to know people when they communicate with you over your work done, hence analysis of the major points is always crucial.<br />
<br />
It is always a wise practice to look your audience in their eyes while speaking; this not only imparts your viewpoint but also gives you confidence to speak correctly. Avoid using too many bright colors in the slides; if possible use engineering logos at the background which reflect your thoughts and viewpoints. You can get people engaged in the presentation by asking questions at various intervals and answering them simultaneously. When done with conveying your message, ask questions from the public and go for an honest opinion to judge how accurately your message was delivered. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Computer Software Engineering vs Computer Systems Engineering (CSW vs CSE), this is something which is very confusing to many students who wish to pursue their education in any of these two fields of engineering. Computer Science is the study of computer system including the theoretical foundation of computer and information systems, including algorithmic processes, computation of practical techniques involved and principals related to its architectural design and software. Being a vast field, Computer Science incorporates within itself the sub domains of Computer Software Engineering as well as Computer Hardware Engineering. <br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.voiceofengineers.com/search/label/System%20Engineering" target="_blank">Computer Systems Engineering</a> or simply Computer Engineering primarily focuses on the hardware aspects of a computer system. Professionals trained under this category are known as Computer engineers who are usually well versed in electronics, electrical and hardware design integration, with experience ranging from microprocessors, circuit analysis, personal computers and pocket PCs. Whereas Computer Software Engineers get to know about the high level of software creativity in a systematic and controlled manner where they get to be trained in various aspect of software development lifecycle, right from the requirement specification to the maintenance phase, ending at the evaluation of a specified project. Being in the process, they assure that the product is made effectively under the devised budget and time as stated earlier. As <a href="http://www.voiceofengineers.com/search/label/Software%20Engineering" target="_blank">Software Engineering</a> deals with the galvanized process of developing the software as a product, it involves project requirements, analysis, design, coding, testing and deployment followed by delivery and maintenance, hence covering the whole lifecycle. <br />
<br />
Mostly during the course of studies at universities, the classification between Computer Systems Engineering students and Computer Software Engineering student remains the level of course undertaken at senior level. Those falling in the former have more stress upon electrical and electronic engineering with extensive practical experience been taken over courses such as Signals & Systems, Circuit Analysis & Design, Microprocessor Interfacing and Computer Architectural Analysis, whereas students of Software Engineering are taught Algorithmic Analysis, Software Architecture & Design, Design Patterns and Software Engineering courses, where the focus is to learn about developing such solutions which have tendency to deal with data manipulation and control. <br />
<br />
What is generally seen is that after graduating from colleges, mostly the Computer System engineers either adopt the discipline of System Analysts or Network Engineers and the others opt for microcontroller analysis and design, thus being a part of developing the computer systems and coming up as a blend of computer science and electrical engineering. However, those who had studied Computer Software Engineering as their majors tend to practice the design and implementation of large, reliable and economical software by incorporating the principles and practices of software development lifecycle. A common myth that prevails in the minds of many who intend to adopt Computer Science as a professional continues to be the fact that Software Engineering is only meant for those individuals who love sitting in front of a gloomy computer and code programs all the time which is absolutely wrong, irrespective of what realm you opt to do, you get involved with programming at one stage or the other to get your job done, hence making programming a pertinent feature of computer science. <br />
<br />
In a nutshell, if you are interested in learning how software are developed in order to manipulate data and their internal algorithmic working, there is none profession better than Computer Software, but if you want to develop the computer system itself inculcating the hardware aspects, Computer Systems is your pick.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Ever thought what is the importance of communication skills for engineers? In contrast with the technical abilities, Communication skills come as an integral part in an engineers grooming and effectively lead to a prosperous growth in future. <br />
<br />
A common misleading statement prevalent in our society continues to be against the learning of communication skills with a thought that it is only meant for those who want to adopt a managerial career in the years ahead. It is a phenomenon which is needed to be practiced at all levels of experience and regardless of the position an individual holds in organization, every one must be proficient in this realm.<br />
<br />
Communication skills does not only involve speaking in front of a large crowd, but it also incorporates the sense of managing the resources alongside effective written skills in order to convey the message to rest of public. If you are a computer engineer, one of the prominent part in the software development lifecycle tends to be the role of business analyst. While gathering requirements for the project, an analyst needs to have pure command over the subject as well as be an adequate communicator so that information can be flown to both the concerned parties in a channelized manner. Same goes for electrical or instrumentation engineers who are supervising large scale mechanical equipments, if they are not dealt with properly and their usage is not well known to them, communicating at a low level to their associated might come across as a palling task. <br />
<br />
There lies no point in leadership when you cannot get your point across the table, no matter how competent you are, you will not be perceived positively in your profession. <span style="color: #0b5394;"><i>Upon a survey conducted, it was brought to knowledge that more than 50% of the engineering projects that fail are purely due to ineffective people’s management and the inability of a manager to convey his message to the team due to various communication barriers.</i></span> This is the rationality that at all levels, good organizations focus on the soft skills developmental courses to get their associates well versed with the requirement of time. <br />
<br />
This is the reason that all big names that we say today especially in the engineering sector, go to hire such candidates who are outstanding in speaking, management and writing, even if the candidates are ranked average in their academics. There needs to be an urge in every engineer to sell his idea to the management and make formal presentations, thus relying on interpersonal skills to get the job done. This urgency has lead to an utter need of communication skills to be held at various levels at the undergraduate level in universities.</div>

What is engineering? Engineering is a field which involves the application of mathematics and Science to build up solutions having practical ends. Engineers design as well as fabricate machines, systems, economical structures and processes.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
In other words, engineers may well be dubbed as “inventors”. They envisage ideas and give them the real shapes. By employing science as well as mathematics, they perk up the quality of life for the general public.<br />
<br />
Engineering is an exceedingly worthwhile career for imaginative and innovative people all over the globe. There is plenty of standing associated with an engineer. They often create an up-to-the-minute invention or service, their demand in the business world is extremely high and they usually get reasonably high salaries.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Engineering is almost certainly the most easily misinterpreted careers. The first thing which comes to the mind when you come across a thought of an engineer is a person who works on engines, or maybe on machines. Although this is the case in a few circumstances, engineering is much more than fixing a washing machine or using the family car. Several types of engineers exist. The main Engineering Branches comprise of Mechanical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Electrical Engineering and Civil Engineering.</blockquote>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
Mechanical engineering is the engineering version with which the majority of people are familiar with quite well. Mechanical engineers undertake several tasks. They assemble engines as well as mechanical structures; delightful park rides, bascule bridges, and a lot other stuff comprising of tires as well as air condition systems. They ought to have experience in several departments comprising of structural analysis, mathematics, material science as well as electronics.<br />
<br />
Electrical engineering and mechanical engineering have a close relation. You would probably desire a capable machine and cheap electricity in order to play any component. Electrical engineering is the study of electronic items and devices, like power sources, as well as electromagnetism. Domestic electrical engineers keep on studying thoroughly, the manner of installing various components as well as a variety of power software in businesses and homes from most important power plants. Computer Engineering which tends to be a relatively new profession under the umbrella of engineer tends to solve issues with the intelligence of computer science.<br />
<br />
Chemical engineering is closely associated with electrical as well as mechanical engineering. Chemical engineers do their research on nanotechnology. They fabricate the machines and systems which are employed by the manufacturing of oral drugs and vaccines. In order to become a chemical engineer a very long time period is require. <br />
<br />
Civil engineering is regarded as a field that binds the complicated process together. Civil engineers work for military reasons and also for civilian ones. They construct bridges, roads, dams and several kinds of buildings. It is required in almost every walk of life; professions such as municipal engineering, environmental engineering, transportation engineering and structural engineering.<br />
<br />
All engineering fields require a person to be proficiency in mathematics as well as the sciences. Engineers must be exceptional problem solvers and work as a team. With enormous global engineering Job Opportunities, the future of engineers promises to be bright and healthy.<br />
<br />
I hope this article gives you a better understanding of what engineering really is. Also it gives you basic understanding of different branches of engineering.</div>
