Re: Re: [MTC Global] Dress Code

Dear MTCians,

"Degrees" are important in so far as basic qualification for being a teacher is concerned. But to what degree these teachers will use their instincts and intellectual capacities to impart their knowledge to others will only  matter. Infact, the noble service of a teacher is to carve a shape out of a student rock.  I would like to share one anecdote which I went thru' last night:

  A visitor was looking on to the idols carved by the sculptor in an Art Gallery. He found one God's idol with  full shape lying flat on the ground and he saw the sculptor carving one other similar idol . The visitor asked the Sculptor whether there are two similar orders for the same idol. The sculptor answered, No sir, there is only one order but there is a small scratch on the nose of the idol which is lying on the ground. Hence I am making one other idol to supply to the customer."

  The visitor with great surprise asked him that only after the sculptor  had told that there is a scratch on the nose of the idol he had observed it. But it went unnoticed otherwise. The visitor further queried the sculptor as to where the idol is going to be installed. The sculptor gently replied that it is going to be installed in the temple tower which is about 40 feet in height from the ground. The visitor sarcastically told the sculptor that one cannot notice the scratch on the nose of the idol when it was lying on the ground  very close and that who is going to observe this defect when the idol is fixed 40' above the ground level on the temple tower?

 Pat came the reply from the sculptor " God Knows it and I know it" about the defect.  What is required is perfection in any given assignment and one should answer his own conscience first before he could satisfy anybody. If one is afraid of his or her own conscience then the job is perfectly done. The teacher's duty is to impart knowledge to others in which  he or she has to be very particular.

There has never been a denial to the fact that there has to be a collaboration between industry and the education world to benefit everybody. I am trying to understand wherefrom the skills stated in the mail were learnt by the individuals? While working in the industry? If yes, is industry ready to employ the engineers lacking these skills or knowledge? Second question is as Dr. Waghodekar has squarely pointed out that having exclusive knowledge or skill of a particular area does not mean that individual can real cover the whole subject effectively as a faculty – is this true or false? There are exceptions everywhere and we are not discussing exceptions that may please be noted.

Dear ALL   I do not agree with Mr. Prabahkar. Teaching is a passion. The person who worked in Methods engineering and shop can teach production engineering better than a professor who des not have industrial experience. There is big gap between industry and institute. For example, Composite manufacturing technology is almost unknown to even IIT and IISc they know about wet layup while there are many new kind of prepregs and some other advanced developments in this field. Similarly robotics, electronics , avionics, stress analysis etc are teh eras where professors know little. Strategy development, operations management etc need industry experience.    There must be industry and institure relationship to grow in teh field of R&D and teaching.   Regards,   Krishna Murari --- On Thu, 28/3/13, Prabhakar Waghodekar <waghodekar@rediffmail.com> wrote: From: Prabhakar Waghodekar <waghodekar@rediffmail.com> Subject: Re: Re: [MTC Global] Dress Code To: join_mtc@googlegroups.com Cc: ashutosh.18oct@gmail.com Date: Thursday, 28 March, 2013, 2:49 PM Dear All, I fully agree with the views expressed by Professor Ashutosh. My 40+ years teaching/administrative and 5 years industry experience shows me the followings: 1. Teaching is not at all business of anybody. 2. Teaching professional need to have pious behavior, knowledge, teaching skills and affection towrads students. 3. Industry personnel or for that matter anybody from any profession can enter into teaching profession is not a rule but an exception. 4. Industry experience no doubt is of importance in teaching profession. But such an expertise is normally of a small, narrowed down area like Tool Designer, HR, Software developer, etc. This may cover a few words of the course contents, of syllabus for a course. It is normally found an industry expert has to struggle very hard to cover the remaining words/topics from the syllabus. Many a times, industry expert can find it difficult to digest the subject for want of learning/reading habits. I have come across an industry expert who laughs at me when I told him tools like Lean, JIT, SMED, Kaizen, Zero defects, 5S, etc., can be successfully implemented in institute. He did believe that such tools are applicable to industry only and not to institute! One thing we must remember that teaching without experience has little meaning and teaching without teaching skills and subject knowledge as a whole on the part of an industry personnel has equally meaningless. Hence the best-in-practice is to train teachers by deputing them to industy during vacation period, at least 3 months in a block of 2 years with a specific goal set for training. Regards.

I have seen many faculties having industry experience but they lack behind teaching skills.. I believe teaching is an art which is fine tuned with end no.of case studies and research and its not restricted only to industry people. We can find example of many professor who have dedicated their whole life for this noble cause. The Gap starts when teaching is taken for granted by Employer who is just concentrated towards high profit through mass admission, low recruitment profile by paying less money to teaching resources. Its also the mistake of most of the employee who joins the teaching career for the sake of job and never do justice with this esteemed career. I believe its not the industry experience which is required, its all the right attitude which is required by all the stakeholders involved in education process whether its a faculty, employer, students, parent's or an industry person. Thanks & Regards Ashutosh Pandey Academician & MTCian.

In other words better to concentrate on one job/ task while attending to many. If  I am correct even Prahlad Sir indirectly mentions the same when he talks about the core competence. If everybody can do every thing then the very concept of talent becomes irrelevant.  Look forward to hear more on this.RegardsDrAJagan Mohan Reddy Sent from Samsung Mobile -------- Original message -------- From: Virendra Goel Date: 26/03/2013 09:53 (GMT+05:30) To: join_mtc@googlegroups.com Subject: RE: [MTC Global] Dress Code We must not forget that multitasking is going to be the  order of the future in the knowledge society that is emerging.
