PRESIDENTS COLUMN

In the modern era of

technology, ref inement in

teaching learning process

using latest technological

development is bound to be of

immense value to our

educational systems in general

and technical education system

in particular. The concept of

Learner Centered Teaching

Methodology is getting nation-wide-attention.

Knowledge explosion has meant three things

namely, research and development, automation

and the spread of higher education. Traditional

institutions and teaching methods are gradually

diminishing and work roles are changing based

on parameters set by knowledge explosion. R&D

has involved the creation of new knowledge or the

extension of old knowledge in novel ways.

Automation has led to implanting of knowledge into

machines. Education has been equated with

implanting knowledge into minds.

There is a need to redesign and reorientknowledge as a multi-dimensional force which can

take its form in sophisticated scientific theories.

Knowledge can be invested and applied in a

multiplicity of ways. It has been realized that

technology is far more than tools and machines.

The techniques associated with the use of those

tools and machines can be amazingly knowledge-

laden. The proof for this is the extensive use of

Information technology in almost all the fields. In

economic terms, education is human capital

investment of a l l k inds. A hol ist ic sense of

knowledge, involving not only the creation of newknowledge but also the implanting of knowledge in

machines and minds, is central to an understanding

of our society. Globalization has brought in its wake

an emphasis on consumer concerns, like quality

assurance, need for continuous up gradation of

quality at reduced cost, durability and variety etc.

In view of the enormous skilled manpower, India

may become a significant production centre of the

world. Economic restructuring heavily depends on

the performance of technology driven industrial and

services sectors. For competitiveness, adoption

and adaptat ion of modern technologies and

Role of Teaching Learning in Today's Worldmanaging them with advanced managerial tools are

essential. This has placed significantly increased

demands on technical manpower than has beenthe case till today.

The present exponential rate of change in societyhas drastically lowered predictability and increased

uncertainties. Almost everyone is convinced that

future is not an extrapolation of the present andthe past. Under these circumstances, avoiding

mistakes is as important as being innovative.

Oppenheimers statement that science andtechnology have a symbiot ic relat ionship is

certainly true. But science is preoccupied with

understanding and explaining, while engineering

is concerned with doing, realizing and

implementing. Thus, the aim of future engineering

education should be the integration of knowledge,

skills, understanding and experience. It has been

noted that Space, Computer, Energy and

Communication will be the main technology drivers

in the near future.

Therefore it is emphasized that subject-

independent design methodology should be

developed wherein the student understands the

mult i -d imensional i ty of real l i fe problems.

Engineering activi ty, like the other great profession

of medicine, is prescriptive in nature and in its

practice, diverse skills are required. For e.g., a

capacity to work in overlapping areas between

disciplines and a flair for self- learning new skills.

An engineer of the future has to emerge as a

creative problem solver. Mere analytical skills are

not enough. An engineering design integrates

mathematics, basic sciences, engineering sciences

and complementary studies in developing elements,

systems and processes to meet specific needs. It

is a creative, iterative, open-ended process subject

to constraints which may be governed by standards

to varying degrees depending upon the discipline.

These constraints may relate to economic, health,

safety, environmental, social or other pertinent

factors. As such refinement in Teaching Learning

process is pivotal for the modern Technical

Education.

President, ISTE
