"What do you need to be good at to be a civil engineer"

There is a famous saying about an engineer, "When a doctor makes a mistake, one person dies, but when an engineer makes a mistake, thousands of lives can die." This is because the work of an engineer is connected to the construction of houses, buildings, infrastructure, or any other structure. Which is being confirmed by various events.

However, in recent days, various trolls have been created about the engineer.

"One house, one engineer", "One house, one engineering consultancy", "When a stone is thrown from the Dharahara, it hits the head of one engineer" etc.

"Engineer's Tea Shop", "Engineer's Meat Shop", "Engineer's Photocopy Shop", which were opened by making a dirty joke of the engineering profession, are bringing disrepute to engineers and the engineering field.

Why is the respect for the engineering profession decreasing?

One of the reasons for this is due to the wrong mentality that education comes with money. This situation is happening due to the Jamaat teaching engineering to the sons and daughters to maintain their social prestige without understanding whether they want to study another faculties like MBBS, Arts, Commerce etc.

Students also have Er. in front of their names. In addition, they have shown interest in engineering. They have no vision and mission for the future, just to pass engineering and get a license. Even if it doesn't take 6, 7 or 8 years.

Thus, Er. before a name without interest. Those who wrote are either going abroad and washing dishes or they are living in Nepal after opening a shop. There is no shortage of people in Nepal who are not able to put the education they have learned into practical life after completing engineering. As a result, the dignity and attraction towards this profession is decreasing.

Similarly, due to the tendency to carry files from hotels to businessmen's houses and contractors' homes with the greed of money, there is a negative impact on the society towards engineers. This kind of problem is also happening because of friends who do not care about their dignity and the dignity of the entire engineering field by doing wrong things in the hope of making quick money. The infamy that this field is facing today is also one of the main reasons for the decrease in the image of an engineer in the society that was yesterday and the dream that was woven by parents.

You will get opportunities for professional capacity building, skill development and professional advancement within the country. When the opportunity to increase the skills, efficiency and capacity of the technical manpower working in the country is available within the country, the potential financial resources that may go outside the country can be reduced. The cooperation and cooperation of the Government of Nepal, related agencies and all concerned parties is necessary for the establishment of Engineering Staff College, as increasing the capacity of technical manpower will increase competitiveness and the possibility of getting employment, productivity will increase, work efficiency will increase, and the quality of work will increase.
