Engineers of all the varieties, civil, mechanical, metallurgical, electronics to robotics, make life easy for all of us. Sure, engineering is not pure science. It IS undoubtedly applied technology. Thus engage engineers in all the fields of human experience, especially through some form of engineering technology.
Engineers engage with every aspect of human life. They are creative, imaginative, and most impressive. To commemorate this creativity by and of engineers, the birth anniversary of Vishweshwariya, the arch architect of the glory that Mysore state could be, is celebrated as the Engineers' day.
Interesting is the fact that the Engineers' day falls on the Vishwakarma day. Vishwakarma is supposedly the divine engineer who could even craft the maya sabha. He is the deity of artisans as well.
Such is the craze of the engineering degree that even the entrance exam preparation classes are big business in places like Kota. The very many Kota suicides prove that sensitising life, ethics and wisdom that come with the Arts courses should be part of the engineering education. It would help everybody to remember that Leonardo da Vinci, the greatest artist ever, was an engineer and an architect!
