Give the opinion about the matter of satisfying the demand of engineers by the world in any faculty by Distant Education Institutions? i.e. The Institution of Engineers(INDIA), IGNOU etc..

Can it be one of the best option in engineering education?

   "Yes, because you will surely agree with the point that all the people in the world cannot get the conditions which are prerequisite to study the engineering in regular mode.                                                     It may be financial, family issues, issues of academic record etc."

Who is an Engineer? Wikipedia suggests, thus, "An engineer is a professional practitioner of engineering, concerned with applying scientific knowledge, mathematics and ingenuity to develop solutions for technical and practical problems. Engineers design materials, structures, machines and systems while considering the limitations imposed by practicality, safety and cost. The word engineer is derived from the Latin root ingenium, meaning "cleverness". Engineers are grounded in applied sciences, and their work in research and development is distinct from the basic research focus of scientists. The work of engineers forms the link between scientific discoveries and their subsequent applications to human needs." Application of knowledge is the critical essence of Engineering! How would they apply, if they assimilate theoretical knowledge online without any industry interface or lab sessions. There is a misnomer in the definition of "Engineer" and "Engineering"! In today's world, after passing some license examination, a person becomes "Maintenance Engineer" in the corporate world or PSU in the Government. Where is the legal sanctity of this term "Engineer"? The enactment of Engineers Bill by HRD Ministry to legalise the term "Engineers" was initiated a few years ago. Alas! An organisation representing civil engineers has sought the early passage of the Engineer's bill to streamline and regulate the engineering profession, enhance quality of professionals and infuse a level of accountability and standardisation. A draft of the bill chalked out in 2003 was now under final review. The bill drafted by the Engineering Council of India and supported by the Association of Consulting Civil Engineers India (ACCE) is pending before the HRD ministry. "Passing the Engineers Bill is the need of the hour" Ranganath D, Chairman, Byelaw Committee, ACCEI, which is celebrating its silver jubilee this year, said. The bill envisages obligatory registration or certification of professional engineers and aims to standardise the Indian engineers globally and create certified quality standards. The implications of passing the bill would mean that no engineer without the prescribed qualification could enter the field and take up projects. It would define who an engineer is and also ensure that the engineer is trained and abreast of the latest technology, a requisite for licence renewal.
