Essential Skills for an Industry Ready Engineer

India is home to 1.27 billion people. More than half of the population is under the age of 25, and, with a projected average age of 29 years, India will be one of the world’s youngest countries by 2020.

The system, however, is pressed by widespread quality challenges; the vast majority of graduates - as many as 75% by some estimates - are not considered employable

These findings are echoed by a number of similar studies over the last two to three years. The estimates may vary, in terms of the percentage of employable graduates in particular, but the various reports share an inescapable conclusion:

Most of the graduates from Indian education are not receiving an education that sufficiently prepares them for the demands and opportunities of the country’s rapidly changing economy.

"There has not been any change in the quality of students either for the better or worse. The same hiring and selection process is applied for all engineering colleges and the IIT students do not need any lesser time for training compared to a non-IITian and after training productivity is same as others," says Manjunath SR, senior director, human resources, NetApp India, 

Mechanical Enginnering is one of the branches which faces maximum difficulties for placement. Being one of the top branches of the country and having a great history it’s unfortunate to see how it is valued now. There is a huge difference between the skill set required by the industry and what the student learns at the colleges.

1.  Effective communication skills -
   
   With an increase in thedocumentation and instructions that engineers use in the workplace, clear and concise communication is a requirement.
2. Interpersonal skills -
   
    You need to know how to effectively work as part of a team and work with customers to identify needs and provide solutions
3. Organizational skills - 
   
   Being able to prioritize tasks, manage your time effectively and resource planning are key skills for engineers.
4. Enthusiasm and commitment -
   
   Learning new skills is part of every engineer's role, so you need to be adept at assimilating a lot of new information.
5.  Scientific understanding 
   
    Understand scientific theories,
    Break a project down into smaller parts
6. Teamwork skills
   
   
   Your ability to work as both a part and a leader. A good engineer is also able to stand back and respect the desires and needs of their colleagues when performing a team member role.
7. An attention to detail
   
   
   Many engineering tasks require a very high level of intricacy, and an attention to detail in these tasks is essential to their completion.
   Approaching every task with the same level of attention to detail will make you stand out as a conscientious worker and perfectionist, and will guard you against mistake.
8. Problem solving
   
   
   The ability to be adaptable to a range of problems is a key trait of a good engineer. Adaptation and problem solving must be carried out with mathematical, technical and scientific considerations in mind, and taken in a calm and reasoned manner.
9. A will to innovate and progress
   
   Combine expertise in a variety of skills with a creative flair and a new approach to solve problems, drive change and create opportunities.
   Keeping abreast of new technologies and innovations, seeking knowledge and finding new ways to approach difficult tasks will put you in the best position to innovate
10. TECHNICAL COMPETENCE
    
    
     Technical proficiency; the ability to understand and utilize the technology which presents itself throughout the role, whilst having a wide range of technical competencies allows you to transcend boundaries and widen your influence.
