Designing the Engineering


Design Sequels- The original design - changes, are the often things we see, yes I'm talking about the modifications on the real conceive on the design made by a Design team. The hardcore reality in India, to be cited when working with the so called real great PSU , get you out of mind. Possibly, they're quite intelligent and intellectual , at the same time they're dumb, not really into the work they would set-up. The inclination on their work is quite minimalistic to mark, a niche possibilty of goodwill towards the culture is invisible, ever since they've breed. They're lazy, not reciprocal to the quotient of reality. The acceptance of all these deters on the viability to built the upfront and promote on the design scenario. It makes us simply go and regret with work we do.However, " who cares for the world around us !!! ", is something we have on our mind and thus we survive. WAKE UP !!! the world is getting faster, we're talking about double digit GDP. That's really a fantastic. We might be just there much sooner than expected. And we will be. But, soon to loose once we dont think about building in the steady form. Not giving the quality, caring about the reality. When atleast its about the work its not always "ME", its "WE".

As "WE", we survive for longer period of time. Else , we would disappear in no time.Design realisation with the tolerance created to value the product is very important. We need to create a value products not just products. The day sooner shall arrive and vanish the PSUs in the country. We are already facing the heat of liberalization. I hope things shall improve and a quality product shall always be appraised and improves along with the time using the latest technologies.

Curriculum of Design Education

The process of learning is quite important in a student's life. In fact the current design schools in India, boast of having the best taught syllabus and methodologies. The students taken-in for these academics are with a background of various disciplines. These students would have thought that design is a fascination and would help them become big and a name can be earned.Soon, they realize that its not their 'piece of cake'. They hardly have knowledge on engineering of the products. They are in dilemma that they have ended up in a wrong path. The money invested in the same education, they could have done an engineering degree.

Industrial Design, the curriculum of this particular facet of design can be enhanced with certain relevant subjects of engineering. Exploring more on this, the syllabus can be more appropriate and more fun instead of the routine methodological being taught as of today. The strings have to be added and refurbished not just taken for existence, they have to be changed if needed. The idea of changing a certain existing thing is not an easy process either. A lot of research goes into the exercise, treat it with a methodological approach. Understanding the certainty of the changed syllabus and its importance of being introduced has to be proven.

Indian education system has been reviving for sometime and hope the ministry would give better systems of future education options.The advising committee must be looking at different options. We have 10+X+N , where X = 2 or 3 and N is the graduation years. However, +2 or +3 plays an important role and deciding factor currently in India. The students doing their diploma are more important. They are introduced to engineering at a very young age. Its shall be good that these students can be explored, more to new subjects and electives can be introduced.The strings I have mentioned earlier could fall somewhere here. And I shall be introducing these strings soon for the future, Design - India.

Out of sight...out of mind

I 've not been blogging for a very longtime now. And I think it was a really not cool doing this. The sense of momentum always has to be there. The rappo is quite uncertain when we tend to do the uncertain things at times.

In fact, I was actually trying out new things out of my small new design lab built at home. More to buzz and keep me busy apart from my office are the new books added to the library. Few books are quite interesting to keep the tempo. However, I have decided to keep updating the blog from this Telugu New Year, i.e April 2010. A new phase of blogging with regular updates on design facets and new views , experiences.
