A person who says he
is an engineer is always underestimated, especially in India. There is no value
for a person who is trained to tame metal and energy to his will. I have a very
different opinion that a country is as good as its engineers.
We live in a generation of smartphones and easy commuting. A 1000 years ago if a man wanted to go another city for work he could forget about hearing from his family for months and just to get to the other city he would have to ride a horse in the blistering sun, a mere 10 miles a day. He would not have ready made food nor would he have ample amount of water, and flying to your destination was something which we envied from birds. Who gave us all these miracle gift ? How does a car move when we tap our foot down or the screen slide when we swipe our fingers across it ? If a person 1000 yrs ago saw a simple motorbike traveling faster than their most prized horse for 0.01% the effort, he would instantly call us God and start praying to the bike.
An engineer is simply a person who understand how matter interacts with energy and how we can use those interactions to our benefits. Steve jobs and bill gates are possibly the most well known engineers in our time and why shouldn’t they be. Alexander graham bell is credited for giving us telephones, Hennery ford is called the father of modern age as he made personal automobile possible. For any industry to advance and prosper, first they must invent more advanced tools and that is what the humble engineer provides with.
