Have you ever thought why a company should give you a job?

An Objectives of B.Tech program are to develop graduates for careers in high-end engineering professions and research.

For a person searching for job, a company want following skills and knowledge for engineers :- 

–In Soft skills, a few skills/capabilities that were highlighted most in various forms are:

Ability to quickly learn new concepts, languages, technologies, best practices. As one might expect, in today’s world, continuous up gradation is essential and it is to be expected that whatever one knows may become obsolete soon and so one must have the ability to learn. In a high-end technology career (like most knowledge-based careers), ability and desire to learn are critical, along with desire and motivation to keep improving in whatever one is doing.

–Problem-solving ability. This has many aspects and were variously expressed as logical and critical thinking; ability to connect new challenges with old problems and past experience; ability to apply diverse/disparate concepts for solving a problem; ability to think at abstract level, and drill down to details; ability to leveraging existing tools and knowledge for problem solving; ability to formulate a problem, thinking of different ways to approach; ability to work with unknowns/ uncertainty ; ability to identify bottlenecks and articulate them well; ability to search for information to fill these unknowns, reduce uncertainty.

–Communication skills.  Explaining things to others in a clear and structured manner; ability to speak and write with clarity and succinctly.

–Teamwork. Ability to work in teams, which can need skills like taking leadership when needed, but following when required; skills to negotiate and resolve conflicts, work in time constraints and with responsibility, etc.

The technical skills require (far more focused for CSE). The list of desired capabilities and skills here is longer and more detailed. Some of the key skills that were highlighted are:

• –Solid Data Structures and Algorithms. Deep understanding of these subjects, how to combine them, how to find/design suitable ones for a problem, etc. This is not surprising as indeed these are the most foundational topics on which much of CS rests.

• –Strong in OOPS.  OO Design and principles, subtle aspects of language, strong understanding of the language capability and limitations, its design and implementation,
• 
  
• –Good understanding of OS, DBMS, Networks. These subjects were highlighted whose understanding is extremely important to being a successful software engineer for high-end work.
• 
  
• –Ability to write well structured and efficient code.  This view was expressed in various ways.  E.g. ability to evaluate the efficiency of the code at different levels – algorithms, DS, execution level (OS), hardware – to reduce memory as well as time; understanding of different layers of the system, and ability to evaluate/assess the program at these different layers.

Ten 'Fun and Exciting' Facts About Engineering

From space exploration to the water slide, engineering makes our lives more 'fun and exciting.'

DID YOU KNOW THAT...

1. The snowboard was invented by an engineer?
   With some engineering twists and turns along the way, the snowboard has become a marvel of geometry, chemistry, and biomechanics. Since the snowboard allows deft turns, ski manufacturers have quickly adopted some of the snowboard innovations, enabling skiers to turn with less effort.
2. Engineers design running shoes for protection, performance, and comfort?
   Engineers understand how much force travels from the ground through the shoe to the foot. Through the work of engineering, weight is distributed throughout the whole foot -- heel to toe.
3. A civil engineer created the slippery part of the water slide?
   A civil engineer designed a pumping system to circulate just the right amount of water to the flume. Without the right flow of water, there is no ride. Additionally, civil engineers have designed the slide to withstand the weight of people, the water, and even the force of the wind blowing on it.
4. The launch and return of spacecraft, from the Apollo to the Shuttle, is a monumental engineering triumph?
   The space program has greatly expanded the world's knowledge base. The technological advancement by engineers in energy, communications, materials, structures, and computers, have made space travel possible.
5. The Ferris Wheel is considered one of the greatest engineering wonders in the world?
   The first Ferris Wheel was created by Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania engineer, George W. Ferris, in 1893. The wheel is supported by two 140-foot steel towers and connected by a 45-foot axle -- the largest single piece of forged steel ever made at that time.
6. Engineers make interactive television possible?
   Engineers are involved in all aspects of interactive TV technology, from designing new cables, to creating new film emulsions, to engineering better sound quality. This technology allows viewers to select any program, film, or game from more than 500 channels.
7. Engineers play an instrumental role in the theme park industry? Theme park engineers are involved in designing, building, lighting, and even controlling the crowd flow in theme parks around the world.
8. Companies and universities are using engineers to form the Virtual Reality and Simulation Initiative? This technology applies computer simulation and visualization to 3-D modeling projects, such as virtual offices.
9. Bioengineers are creating a new and exciting medical technology?  This technology will utilize virtual reality to help surgeons reconstruct facial birth defects.
10. Computer engineers, in conjunction with animators, have created special effects in movies such as "Jurassic Park," "Forrest Gump," and "Interview with the Vampire"?  Through "morphing" technology, images are digitally mastered to appear realistic.

5 Common Problems First Jobbers Need to Face

1. It is far from what you had imagined

So you thought you finally landed your dream job? While some “blessed” people may claim that they’re finally living their dream thanks to their first job, majority of first jobbers are not afraid to admit that their job is actually far from what they had expected. If you’re spending most of your time in the office photocopying instead of doing a copywriting job, you’re certainly not alone.

2. Pay is lower than your expected salary

This isn’t something unusual especially if you’re living in the Philippines. Most first jobbers take less than exciting offers for various reasons such as following their passion, having the chance to work with the best in the industry, or perhaps taking on whatever is offered due to lack of other opportunities.

3. You have no control of your time anymore

One of the common complaints of first jobbers is the hectic and toxic schedule their job entails. Being forced to wake up at 5 in the morning to leave home for work at 6 am, and finally escape the office at 9 in the evening will take a toll on your health as well as social life and love life. In some cases, first jobbers are even required to work on weekends, robbing them of the highly needed time for themselves.

4. Dealing with a terror boss and nosy officemates

You thought it was just an urban legend until you finally showed up for your first day of work. Having to deal with different kinds of people from various walks of life  (a.k.a. dealing with toxic people) is one of the unwritten requirements of your job. 

5. Being forced to perform at the annual Christmas party

The situation would have been okay if you possessed Maja Salvador’s dance moves, Sarah G.’s singing prowess or at least the confidence and stage presence of Anne Curtis. While this wasn’t included in the contract you signed, there’s no way for you to turn down your chance to stardom.

With all these issues you have to deal with, problems concerning communication shouldn’t be an issue for first jobbers anymore. With Sun Postpaid’s Best Value Plan 599, you get the most practical solution to everyday challenges in your job.

Tips for Success for Engineering Students

We were interested in finding out what current engineering students could do to put themselves on the fast track to career success.

1.Identify the people who inspire you, and find out what makes them tick. If you love Apple products, Steve Jobs may be your idol, or perhaps you love the Segway and its creator, Dean Kamen. You can easily find out a lot of information about Jobs and Kamen—or just about any other prominent person in technology—so use it to look into what’s helped these people and their companies become so successful. Then emulate their good traits in your personal, scholastic, and professional life.

2. Develop a portfolio of projects. Participate in every hands-on, experiential learning opportunity that a balanced schedule allows. This way, you’ll have something unique to show a prospective employer (or venture capitalist) when you graduate, while other students will only be able to list their courses. In addition, you’ll be far more likely to retain the knowledge you’ve gained in classes because you’ll be applying it and, in the process, boosting your communication and interpersonal skills.

3. Learn the value of networking. When it comes to being a leader, whom you know is almost as important as what you know. Attend lectures on your campus and introduce yourself to the speakers. Check with your school’s alumni association to get a list of alumni from your program who want to connect with undergraduates.

4-Star Tip. In addition to E-mail, you can use LinkedIn or other social media tools to connect online. But remember: There’s no substitute for a traditional, face-to-face meeting, so if you can find a way to meet in person, that’s always the best.

4. Work in teams as much as you can. Whether it’s creating a solar-powered car, participating in a sport, or writing for the school paper, get involved with an organization that requires a team effort to produce great results. Throughout your career, you can be sure you’ll work in teams, and the skills you develop in school will help prepare you to lead teams when you graduate.

5. Seek informal leadership roles. You’re always a leader, whether you’re officially in charge of a team or not. Sounds counter intuitive, but you can lead from any position in an organization by influencing how people work together and how they make decisions. Usually people think that the leader is the president or the manager, but if you learn how to recognize and deal with various leadership styles from any position in a team, you’ll be seen as a leader when you take on your first job or internship.

6. Find your flaws—and fix them. As with any skill, leadership needs constant improvement. When you are part of a team, try to create a way to get feedback from team members, group leaders, and professors. When you have concrete feedback on how people view you, you can work to improve your skills, including communication and leadership. Plus, you’ll learn how to accept—and give—constructive criticism. That’s absolutely necessary for your future career.

7. Take a business class. As an engineer, it’s not enough for you to be technically proficient; you need to have business savvy. If you’re going to be a leader, you need to understand what a P&L is (also known as an income statement), read organization charts, know how to negotiate contracts, and be familiar with the myriad other functions that every top engineer needs to know. Otherwise, you won’t understand what to do when an accountant, lawyer, or middle manager gets in the way. A business course or two can take you a long way, and these classes are often easier to pass than your calculus course!

8. Take design and other humanities classes. There’s a wide world out there beyond problem sets, laboratories, and theory. Take a visual design course so you’ll learn to represent ideas graphically. Take a cognitive science course to learn how people interpret the world and understand it. Take a literature course to develop your knowledge and appreciation of the classic books, which will help you write and communicate more effectively.

5-Star Tip. Tomorrow’s leaders will have to communicate effectively across international borders and be familiar with other cultures, so develop some proficiency in another language, travel abroad, or meet students from other cultures. Start “globalizing” right at college.

9. Make your summers productive. Employers place tremendous value on practical experience. Seek out internship opportunities actively and early in your academic career. Try to demonstrate through your internships a series of evolving leadership experiences, and use the internships to build your portfolio of actual projects/products. New graduates who can show a commitment to using their summer to continue to learn are always viewed more seriously by a prospective employer.

10. Recruit and develop your personal board of directors. As an undergraduate, you might feel alone when confronted with hard decisions about the courses to take, jobs to apply for, or even balancing school work and your personal life. You won’t feel alone if you develop a personal board of directors just for you. Just as a company has a board that guides the organization, you can stock your board with professionals from organizations and companies, as well as former teachers and knowledgeable family friends.

Extra Pointer. Be sure to “nurture” your board of directors: Keep in touch with them, provide them regular updates, ask them for guidance, and be sure to thank them for any help they provide. And don’t be afraid of conflicting advice. If members offer different suggestions, you’ll have the occasion to balance off one idea against another and make your own decision—just like at a real company.
