I was an Engineering student in the university sometimes back. After few months of graduation I gave up my carrier in Engineering and moved to Business Management, which I was passionate about. Recently, I met few of my friends who are practicing engineers. I asked them how useful the education that they had in the university for your present job? Many said they do not even use 1% of things that they have studied other than the analytical and problem solving skills that they mastered as engineering student. on contrast I still use the fundamentals I studied in CIMA, CIM and MBA.
Is our university syllabus was geared to the few who continue to study for Masters or PhDs? What about the majority who goes to the industry? Are we completely ignoring them? Is it a problem with the syllabus or with the lecturers who are pure academics?
