EDITORIAL OF THE POLYMATH JOURNAL1


A Philanthropologist says ‘Though instruction often ends with the school room, education ends only with life, just as it began also with life. Informal education continues thoughout the experiences of a whole life. Formal education is generally a part of the large machinery, namely, the state, and its exponents hold that ‘the primary aim of any progressive system of instruction is to adjust the child to the environment of society’. The idea of mind training as the essence of education is seldom stressed in many of the formal educational institutions. These large establishments aim at imparting to the students,liberal and occupational instruction. Let us not however forget that man is to be educated not because he is to become a mechanic or technician but because he is a man’.
This broad minded Philanthropologist delivered this statement by keeping in view that these large educational establishments/ colleges are nowadays offering/ imparting such an education/ training that would fetch them to earn for their lively hood. 
But the commercialisation of education system in ANDHRA PRADESH started in Intermediate(+2) level, 15 years back is now deep rooted its vicious system to school level and extending itself to college/ university  education also. 
The present scenario in this commercial arena of education system, mushrooming engineering colleges/ universities striving/ playing gimmicks to fill their seats are totally failing in providing quality education/ training to the emerging engineers was clearly stated in a monthly magazine of repute is reproduced in the next page for the awareness of the engineering aspirants. Hence be alert in choosing the best engineering college, my dear ‘would be Engineers’


ENGINEERING AS A CAREER OPTION


Why Engineering as a career ?

The word “Engineering” derived from the Latin word “ingeniare” means to “to design” or “ to create”

The engineering design process involves a series of steps that lead to the development of a new product or system. In this design challenge, students are to complete each step and document their work for project in Identifying the Problem, Identifying the Criteria and Brainstorm Possible Solutions, Generate Ideas, Explore Possibilities, Select an Approach, Build a Model or Prototype and Refine the Design.

It is a naked truth that the comforts of this human race are escalting day by day, only because of unending innovation. This thirsty towards innovation  always creates more new bases and grounds in the lines of Engineering when compared to other fields.

There fore a random look at the list of branches available in the field of engineering will prove the facts.

DIFFERENT BRANCHES OF ENGINEERING
1. Computer Engineering
2. Ceramic Engineering
3. Aeronautical/Aerospace Engineering
4. Diary Technology
5. Civil Engineering
6. Mechanical Engineering
7. Electrical Engineering
8. Chemical Engineering
9. Industrial Engineering
10. Automobile Engineering
11. Fire engineering 
12. Environmental Engineering 
13. B.Arch (Bachelor of Architecture)
14. Textile engineering 
15. Marine Engineering
16. Mining Engineering
17. Naval Architecture
18. Nuclear Engineering
19. Ocean Engineering
20. Petroleum Engineering
21. Nuclear Engineering 
22. Transportation Engineering 
23. Acoustic Engineering 
24. Bio Technology

...and many more.
This clearly indicates ‘why Engineering is a dream career of many students now-a-days after 10+2.
