Apart from the advantage to show as an effective team member and also communicating with higher-ups, this expertise, enhances the self-confidence to work with an optimistic outlook. This skill should be developed from the school days and certainly be improved during the college days. In our autonomous institution, the curriculum itself contains theory and laboratory oriented courses in Technical English. Apart from this, as a part of extra-curricular activities, there are Atrium and debating union of our college functioning in a very organised way, conducting periodically debating and elocution competitions among students, under the guidance of the faculty members handling courses on English in the Department of Humanities & Sciences.

4. Awareness of Trends in Technology


An awareness on the recently developing technology in one’s field specialisation and allied fields is essential, even if there is no mention of that in the curriculum. In fact, an Engineering student should be curious to know what are present trends in design and manufacturing of any products in any industry, including medicine and agriculture so that, he/she can explore the possibilities of enhancing the concerned processes, by introducing his/her own innovative engineering concepts.
This also enables and opens opportunities after passing out of the programme in launching on start- ups in emerging fields. This can be considered as the example of the best outcome of such awareness during student days.
