While achieving good marks in your exams is a good way of starting, academic excellence is not the only thing that graduate employers are looking for in their candidates these days. Even though every profession has different requirements, a certain set of skills are valued by every industry and organization. Here’s a list-

✻ Confidence

✻ Communication skills

✻ Time management

✻ Ability to work under pressure

✻ Leadership qualities

✻ Creative and critical thinking

✻ Problem-solving skills

✻ Emotional intelligence

All of these qualities are soft skills and while it is not necessary that you have all of them, you need to convince your interviewee that you can always learn them.



How to demonstrate your soft skills?
Soft skills are very abstract in nature and an interview could provide a very less of a time for the employer to understand yours. Which is why most of the companies conduct various personality and aptitude tests. Also, direct questions that target a particular soft skill of yours (for example: When was the last time you exhibited great leadership qualities?) could be asked, and a good, nicely framed answer could speak a lot about your personality.

What specific skills is a graduate employer looking for?
While every employer will be looking for a certain mix of hard and soft skills, you can find out what an employer is looking for by studying the job description carefully. Understand their requirements and stress on some skills accordingly. Tailor yourself and your resume based on whether the job requires more of soft skills or hard skills.

How do I work on my skills?
While most of the basics of your hard skills will be taken care of in your graduation, you would probably have to know a little something extra to just get you there. While taking a small course can help, you can also choose to intern or volunteer for a more personalized and first-hand experience.

Soft skills play a very important role, not just in getting you a job but also in determining your success in it. There are various ways in which you can work on them and you definitely should because with the right personality and a positive attitude, your dream job is not far away.

The students at AVCOE are trained with not just hard skills but with soft skills too, so that when they graduate, they are industry-ready. For this and many such reasons, we have become one of the best engineering colleges in Maharashtra.

Let’s agree to the fact that in India, we have a situation with ‘engineering’. It could either be a “Boon or bane” which means, it could turn out to be beneficial or harmful (in some cases).

It’s all good when you get the benefits out of something, in which you’ve had spent a lot of your time! But what’s not going right with those who can’t make situations any better.

There is an issue in projection of this profession!

When we normally talk about engineering, we prioritize the need to have a decent job. Which is not wrong really, but it is when your only aim is to be a certified candidate to of an esteemed organization.

Where is the creativity?

The creativity gets left out when your behavior is too predictable and structured. Think of someone great like Charles Babbage for instance. Babbage developed plans for the analytical engine, the forerunner of the modern digital computer. What do you think he was thinking before providing the scientific, engineering and mathematical advancements to the world? Certainly not desperate to work for someone else!

Here are some examples of mesmerizing inventors who dug deep into science and engineering and discovered millions of magnificent ways to help the world.

George Stephenson

Known as the ‘Father of Railways’, George built the first public intercity railway line in the world. He was an English civil and mechanical engineer who invented the rail gauge, which is now the standard gauge for most countries.

James Watt

A Scottish inventor, mechanical engineer, and chemist who improved on Thomas Newcomen's 1712 Newcomen steam engine with his Watt steam engine in 1776, which was fundamental to the changes brought by the Industrial Revolution in both his native Great Britain and the rest of the world.

Nikola Tesla

He is known for his contribution to the design of the modern alternating current electricity supply system. Was a Serbian-American inventor, electrical engineer, mechanical engineer, physicist with a futuristic vision! While the engineers today seek admission on JEE Main rank, Tesla worked on real-life projects like the radio, X-ray machines and induction motors. Truly one of a kind. Now let's talk about his controversial mate...

Thomas Edison

Edison has also invented a number of other things like the motion picture camera, stock ticker, and battery for the electric car, a mechanical vote recorder and the phonograph. He is Primarily known for inventing the light bulb. He was also among the first ones to practice mass production for his inventions, manufacturing on a large scale. He has around 1093 US patents on his name and many more outside the US. He was an excellent engineer.

Amar Gopal Bose

An electrical engineer and sound engineer, he was a professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) for over 45 years. He was also the founder and chairman of Bose Corporation. In 2011, he donated a majority of the company to MIT in the form of non-voting shares to sustain and advance MIT's education and research mission.

George Stephenson

Rightly called the ‘Father of Railways’. George built the first public intercity railway line in the world. He was an English civil and mechanical engineer who invented the rail gauge, which is now the standard gauge for most countries.

These are some examples of monumental engineering, and there are literally too many to name a few. Our only intention is to get the true importance of engineering before you.

But, before you get any wrong ideas, we want to make it clear that you should only say yes to a job where your responsibilities will help the establishment to reach its mission while you keep developing your own personally as well!

We help our future aspirants to be the forthcoming technocrats. We do care for your well-being and want you to be satisfied with your choice of academics.

Engineers are responsible for many of the great inventions and technology the world depends on. Everything from space shuttles to air conditioning systems to hearing aids requires the work of an engineer. We listed the top habits required to be a successful engineer.

Here are some of habits that happy, successful engineers practice:



1.  Cherish learning in success or failure.
Failures are not a surprise for engineers. What makes you stand out from others is the way you deal with it. Successful engineers see failure as an opportunity to try something new, to perform better.

2.  Don’t compare yourself to others.
Be your best at what you do and keep consistently being the best. The only one you should compare yourself is to who you are today and how can you better yourself for the future.

3.  Embrace different perspectives to solve a problem.
All engineers know this that there are hundreds of solutions and hundreds of approaches to a certain problem. When you can’t seem to reach a solution with one point of view, try perceiving the problem in another way. If you are working in a team take inputs from everyone, put different perspectives to work and solve the problem.

4.  Exercise- A must.
Along with your brain, your body needs its dosage of maintenance too. Remember without a healthy body one cannot be efficient in his/her work. Take some time out and make it a point to exercise on a daily basis.

5.  Avoid procrastination.
Avoiding procrastination is today’s world is a rather challenging thing to do. With social media becoming an ‘important’ part and parcel of our lives, it is convenient enough to put off our work to next day, and the next and it goes on. Agreed we need our share social lives but don’t waste most of your time browsing such apps. Prioritize your work which will give you time for work, study as well as fun.

6.  Read books.
Reading books allows you to learn new information you can relate or connect with your current skills and solve problems more efficiently than someone who is not reading books at all. Be it fiction or non-fiction, the former broadens your imagination and the latter gives you access to facts and mantras regarding your field.

7.  Be confident that you will make it. 
Four years of engineering is certainly not easy. Often you go through phases of self-doubt and fear and series of what-ifs about uncertainty of your future. Take a breath. Relax. Keep giving your 100% and things will work out for you just as fine. Always have confidence in yourself and your abilities to make it.

Becoming successful in any engineering field, or in life as an engineer takes a lot of hard work and determination. Be confident, set your goals and strongly work towards them, and the most important thing – never stop learning!

“Engineering” literally means “making things happen”. In a very basic sense, engineering is the practical application of science and mathematics to solve problems. Traditionally, engineering is about infrastructure.

In today’s world, engineering is acknowledged as a discipline that opens up opportunities and creates technology and products that help make our lives easier. Almost every aspect in our lives has somehow been influenced by engineers – the products created in factories; the buildings we live in; the water we drink; the computers we surf the net on; medical services and technologies we rely on; the appliances and vehicles. There is no limit to what engineers can do.
Every year around 3 lakh engineers pass out from top engineering colleges in Maharashtra.

Here are some reasons why you should consider pursuing engineering as a career:
