Why do people think that engineering is useless? Why do people make funny videos on engineers?

Hello friends, one of my questions is that now there is a need for engineers in India, then why the engineers are so helpless.

    Hallo Abhishek.
    I agree with you. you said very beautiful lines. I hate people who make this funny video with engineers. I am also going to study engineering from this year. So I request to those people who make this funny vedio, not do that. It can affect a student who want to pursue engineering.

    These people who make fun of engineering are not aware of its use and advantages. But, at the same time in some families students are forced to pursue this course without considering their interest. Do not believe on those fucks.

    They make funny videos because they don't have a clue what engineering is all about. And there is also a fact that as more number of students are pursuing engineering without having that scientific temperament, the result of this process is people take engineering lightly without understanding it's aim to the human mankind. An engineer work is far beyond the laymen thinking. So, keep calm an engineer can do any layman work but a layman cannot replace engineer.

    The only reason I think for this is a lot of colleges in the market to provide an engineering degree but not the education. So, try for some good college for admission if serious about engineering as it will pay you a lot. Take time to visit the reference link of UEM Kolkata and know about good college criteria https://www.shiksha.com/university/university-of-engineering-and-management-kolkata-47398/courses/engineering-s

    The fact that most Indian Parents want their child's future to be respectful and bright, they tend to make their children opt for Engineering and medical the most. Over a period of time, we have developed stereotypes related to the same. We all know how engineering takes a lot of hard work and a student tends to seclude himself from family and friends. Now there is this popular notion among youngsters that engineers don't have time for relationships. This might sound too mainstream but it can happen with anyone in any stream. Every stream requires a lot of hard work. Abhishek, over a period of time one must learn to take Jokes made upo

    Hi Abhishek,Good question, because, the tree which has tasty fruits is beaten by stones. They don't know that this world doesn't exist without engineers. Every step of this world should be done only by engineers.

    These people who make fun of engineering are not aware of its use and advantages. But, at the same time in some families students are forced to pursue this course without considering their interest. This creates pressure in the minds of the students and they go depress. But yes, I agree one must not make fun of this creative subject.

    SEE students who joined IITs/NITs/ IIITs or premier state engineering colleges or good private college like BITS Pilani, IIIT Hyderabad, BIT Mesra, LPU etc. Has got the seat after a tough competition. People from any educated profession shall acknowledge the fact that the engineering graduates from these colleges are truly perfect for the profession. It would be a good choice to opt for Lovely Professional University as in the present scenario this is the university which caters to the all round development of its students and nurtures it with care to boost the career to a pinnacle of ultimate success which might be the envy of many.

    People who make fun of engineering doesn't know the struggle, hardwork and dedication that it takes to become an engineer. They probably are not aware of it's Advantages and the Knowledge you can gain from it. Don't care about all such negativity spread about engineering, if you're interested in engineering, know more about it and go for it, if you are passionate enough.
