Engineering education is like “wood”, can be converted into any shape and size. The students who are pursuing engineering education are like "nails" (sharp, strong and stubborn) a teacher has to drive them into engineering by using necessary tools (motivating, stating examples etc) i.e. a "hammer" in a proper way. It is the duty of the teacher to drive the nail into the wood with out damaging or bending the nail by applying sufficient force on nail with hammer.
With out proper driving force a student will never ever be into actual engineering education, because it’s the very basic nature of the student to resist transition for school to college.
A teacher-student relation ship is delicate and with growing number of private engineering colleges and lesser availability of able staff, this relationship is much fragile for time being.
One of the important property of the wood is it deteriorates with time, so teachers have to update their skills and use new driving techniques from time to time.
The above blog is my opinion, compiled by me. The examples wood, nail and hammer are used to highlight the behaviour. constructive critisism is always welcome !
