In the last 100 years, more and more new form of electronic communication systems have been developed [because of our ceaseless efforts for innovation of communication technique] than throughout almost 400 centuries which separate us from the homo sapiens. During the last 50 years, more people are communicating in more ways than in any of our prior history, using the large number of electronic devices and systems. The growth of electronics and communication systems is exponentially increasing in both reach and richness. This is illustrated in Fig.2. This Himalayan Progress in electronics and communication systems will bring about a great wave of social changes as associated with two earlier revolutions in the history of mankind, viz. Renaissance and Industrial Revolution. This will throw open vast job prospects in the field of electronics and communication engineering. Using a combination of electronics communication system and computer technologies, the new millennium has begun with the scenario where more people using a single mobile phone can converse face to face, download from website at an unbelievable speed, listen to music, watch TV, play games, switch on the rice cooker and so on. In about a couple of years from now, the people using 5G mobile phone, based on Cognitive Radio principle, can make an emergency call through a dense and crowded communication environments without listening to “ the channel is busy”. This is achieved using the philosophy: “where the home is”. The world of science fiction is now only few clicks away. Further Fig.2 illustrates a vast interesting application-domain of electronics and communication engineering. It is nothing surprising as the catalyst of the progress is humans’ eternal quest to talk to each other freely ignoring political boundaries. Again each of the fields of electronics and communications is flourishing resulting better and better job prospects and at the same demanding creative ideas. Incidentally, it does not matter in which country the jobs are opening because any one can migrate to any where due to ‘globalisation’ and ‘flat earth concept’. But there is a little ‘but’, you have to be ‘global engineer’ holding a degree from a University accredited according to Washington Accord and have excellent communication skills that cross disciplines, culture and languages. Divergence of fields demanding more and more areas of specialisation have thrown open vistas of opportunities. It is only necessary and important that the aspiring students must have to learn how to love learning. Then whatever he/she learns will be implanted in his / her subconscious mind influencing his / her thought process in the positive direction. Versatility of ECE The development of the art of communication, oral and visual, led to the subject of Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE), whereas the development of art of communication between man and machine led to the subject of Computer Science and Engineering (CSE). Obviously, CSE is junior to ECE. The exact age-difference is difficult to ascertain. Some say that it is approximately one hundred years. Although CSE has a different origin, yet its entire development owes much to ECE. The progress of society depends on information – the data that have meaning to human beings. The end product of information is knowledge/wisdom whose use-value unlike material productions (like, soaps, clothes etc.) is not lost in the process of consumption but accumulate endlessly and produce new results. Thus information is one of the nation’s critical resources for services, industries as well as manufacturing for economic development and national security. The tremendous growth of information led to the 64 | Prospectus 2013 development of a technology that equips a human being with the ability to apply or use information. This is termed as Information Technology (IT). Therefore, IT has two aspects, viz., one that focuses on the content, i.e., “information” and the other that focuses on the form, i.e. “Infrastructure”. Key technology areas of IT are located in the domains of ECE and CSE – indicating an intimate relationship. ECE, CSE and IT differ in their application areas, but from a philosophical viewpoint they are blood brothers. That is ECE is the base-subject. Thus those who are trained in the art and technology of ECE can easily migrate to the domain of CSE, IT and ICT – it is simply rowing down the stream. Electronics (microwave) technology plays a key role in the development of invisible hardware and software – a big leap towards Communication Revolution – ushering a new era of progress, prosperity and opportunity. It appears that it is easier to stop a speeding bullet in the mid air than Communication Revolution in its track. Global Nature of the Job Market This is one aspect of the need of technical education for the present century. The other side of the problem, i.e. the integration of the different branches of technical education, is beautifully illustrated by Ron Zarella, Chief Executive Officer of Bausch and Lomb: “We make a product called Interplak. The electromechanical design for this home plaque-removal device is done in Germany and Japan. The batteries are supplied from Japan, the motors are built in the Peoples Republic of China, the charging base is made in Hong Kong, the precision-made plastic pieces are manufactured in Atlanta, Georgia, the brush head is made in Ohio, and the final assembly is done in Mexico.” Therefore, in the present age an engineer trained in one country works in another country with different cultures. This is not all. He is dealing with a product assembled in that country but the components of the product are bought from various countries. This clearly emphasizes not a strong background of fundamentals but also a need of R & D outlook. Fall out of the Flat Earth Philosophy i) Communication capability of the engineers is equally important to his knowledge. Excellent communication skill that crosses disciplines, cultures and languages is a need of the hour. "Communication is more than a vehicle for transmitting what we know--it also affects what we know”. ii) 21st Century engineering education must be broad based with ample scope for learning beyond the syllabus, substantial reduction of the emphasis on syllabus–centric teaching, attention to innovative learner-centric teaching, excellent communication skills that cross disciplines, cultures and languages. Course Structure The course should also emphasize on “how to solve problems”, the need for life long learning and the need for developing creativity. Theories, principles, and problem solving techniques must be weaved in such way so as to resemble like stories that first captivate the students and entice them back again and again. There lies the beauty and charm of engineering education. Otherwise, meaning of studying engineering education is lost. It is like trying to discover the beauty of Venice by going through the canals with a submarine. Prospectus 2013 | 65
Recommendations of World Body How to integrate all these aspects in a 4-year graduate engineering course It will never be possible to teach everything required when they go to work after four years – even many parallel tracks and elective courses are offered. National academy of Engineering of the National Academies USA has made the following recommendations: w w w w w The baccalaureate degree should be considered as a pre-engineering or “engineer in training” degree. Master degree can be recognized as the engineering “professional” degree. Institutes should endorse research in engineering education as a valued and rewarded activity for engineering faculty. Because the new curriculum and the faculty the two together can reinforce the idea. Institutions should encourage domestic students to obtain M.S/M Tech and Ph.D. degrees. They shall have to be benchmarked as per the principles of Washington Accord, a ten-member apex global organisation that determines standards of engineering degree. Faculty mentoring M.
