Careers: Computer Science Engineering, Architecture, Leather Technology

The growing careers these days are computer in science engineering, which deals with usage of mathematical skills and applications, career as architecture, which displays designer skills and career in leather technology which deals with basic inclination towards the profession. These careers are growing rapidly and have lot of job opportunities.

Career in computer science engineering:

Computers have become the life line of the new world. It has dominated almost all career fields. Due to growth in information technology the computer industry has flourished tremendously and has been a great achievement for the economy of India and globally. Computer science engineering has grown as a career option. They apply their knowledge of mathematics and science and design various computers.

They are divided in to two groups: those who deal with computer equipment are called hardware engineers, and those who deal with computer programmes are called software engineers. t is these computer engineers who design software and hard ware computer-based systems for embedded micro controllers, designing - VLSI chips, analog sensors, mixed signal circuit boards and operating systems.

Career in architecture:

Every country is determined by its economy and its physical appearance, which makes it a famous tourism spot and eventually brings in money. Architecture therefore is an important career which plays an important role. Now focus is given to luxury and comfort than basic shelter and homing. This has made architecture a high in demand.

Every building, theatre, house or halls are designed in a beautiful manner which requires the expertise thinking and skills of architectures.

Career in leather technology:

Leather technology is one of the most lucrative career options these days. Earlier this industry was not given much importance and people were appointed based on their experience and not formal training. But now since it’s in demand and growing forcefully, there are many institutes and colleges providing diplomas and degrees in this field. Indian leather industry is the fourth largest export industry in the world. This makes it obvious that one who gets into this profession has sure shot success and a handsome pay. Leather wear constitutes a variety of products ranging from footwear and accessories like belts, bags, purses and caps to toys, upholstery, baggage, musical instruments, garment tags, gift items etc.

A career in leather technology or architecture or computer science engineering all serve the same purpose of securing a future and contributing in the prosperity of a country as well as the individual involved.

Science and Technology Interface

The most important consideration should be the integration of science and technology. We have created boundaries between science and technology and between physical sciences and biological sciences. Even in the management of higher education, the All India Technical Council of Education (AICTE) look after technical and professional and university Grants Commission (UGC) looks after science education. We should either merge these entities or allow both to look after science and technology in the institutes associated with these bodies. If we separate science from technology are getting complicated; without integrating technology with science we will not be able to translate research into tangible products and create value.

As an example breeding superior crops for ushering in a second green revolution requires both knowledge of basic and applied biology. Future breeders will require a sound knowledge of molecular biology, genetics, bio-chemistry, mathematics and statistics, skills in computational work and handling laboratory equipment. Unfortunately, such education is not being imparted nor are there concerted efforts to create interdisciplinary teams to use the knowledge of molecular biology and genomic to produce novel seeds, which would require lesser inputs of water and chemicals and provide higher yield as compared to the present varieties and hybrids.

To take an example from chemistry, those who want to research new drug molecules or pesticides need some knowledge of biological sciences as a large number of chemical are being synthesized and studies for use on biological entities. Research in the field of nano-materials requires a sound knowledge of both chemistry and physics and a feel for technology.

To create a strong science-technology interface at the University of Delhi, They have initiated three M-Tech courses-nuclear physics and process development—to train students in areas that require knowledge of both science and technology. Students with undergraduate degree in natural sciences are admitted in these three-year courses. We hope this will set a new trend in the country in developing a strong science-technology interface.

Research is conducted both for satisfying curiosity and for generating value. Research that satisfies curiosity is important but research that creates values is even more important. Indian needs strong research and development in areas that will generate value—new seeds, new drugs, electronic devices, new materials for the developing new tangible products, participation of industry in research and development programme, it is the industry which will scale up, commercialize, and create wealth. Bodies like department of sciences and technology, department of bio-technology and council of scientific and industrial research have taken step in involving industry in research projects. However, larger efforts are required.

Both basic science and technology development research can be improved by improving our competitive research grant system provided by the departments of ministry of science and technology. Submitted research projects should be approved or rejected in no more than four months. To encourage industry-university puts one repee in a research project, the government agencies should put double that amount.
