I have met many people who underestimate
an Engineer. They should know that Engineer
cannot be judged by his grades or the views
his HOD has for him. There are many
qualities that an engineer posses, but might
not found in his CV. Below are few of those
qualities that gives the engineer an extra
edge.
Career Scopes:
An engineer can become Software Developer,
Bank Manager, IAS officer, Business Manager
or even a BPO assistant.
Values:
There won't be anything called"Hot chick"in
engineering college hence they understand
their value and start respecting every girl.
Working under pressure:
Even though he (might have) never
experienced"one night stand"ever but he
knows how to survive examinations via"one
night studies"
Determination:
Engineers love to sleep, but they never go to
bed early. Nights are not made to be spent
sleeping, lecture are.
Meticulous:
Engineers are not lazy they are just highly
motivated to procrastinate.
Kindness:
Engineers love everybody, apart from their
faculty, project head, Deans, scientists, new
boyfriend of their ex-girl friends, authors of
their curriculum books, power cutoffs and
slow internet.
Team Work:
Team Projects and group seminars might
have failed to teach them this quality but
mass-bunks and proxy attendance will surely
teach the value of team work.
Maturity:
Engineers get to know that world is full of
dishonest people, when they join the college
just because they have read the words like
lavishing infrastructure, supporting faculty,
100% placements in their college brochures.
Also when they get to know that girl's photo
they saw on brochure doesn't exist.
Network and relations:
None of the relatives or any friend's mom ask
them before but once they graduate everyone
calls them at their home (so that they can fix
their table fans, mixers or radio transistors).
Identification:
They recognize people with the mobile phone
they carry and their laptop configurations
rather than their names or faces.
Fast learning:
Even highly qualified faculty might have failed
in teaching them a topic, but he will
remember every word of it when his friend
dictates it before entering the examination
hall.
Learn by Fun:
Playing tic tac toe during class, late night
counter strike tournaments, watching T20
with friends and completing Angry birds
stages during lab sessions gave engineers
more competence than any other sport.
Sacrifice:
Two engineers saw a hot chick in mall,
first reaction: ABE dekh be, Gazab !!
second reaction: jaane de yaar aukat ke
bahar hai.
Stay Raw:
Engineers also sacrifice their clean shaved
look, to look more hard-working during
exams for self motivation.
Resource managements:
Engineers know that a 3G connection and
4Gb pen drive is the first requirement before
preparing for practical exams. Engineers
know the value of every single bar in Wifi
connectivity symbol and phone batteries.
Staying Healthy:
Engineers never compromise with their
health, they stay fit and immune due to
regular dosage of maggi and backed-samosa.
Having food at Punjabi dhaba and tea at
extra-(un)hygienic Gumti is the part of their
diet.
Engineering is not just a degree... it teaches
you the way of living life like a warrior.
Engineering gives a perception and attitude.
It teaches you survival.
Next time u meet an engineer, show some
respect and don't ask his/her grades or
salary, instead offer a friendly hi-five or a
Buddy-Punch..
