English translation of the article in Malayalam : GOOD DAYS AHEAD FOR DESIGN ENGINEERS .  [by Gopikrishnan T, Founder & Managing Director – iNCAETEK] It will be good days ahead for Design Engineers. The Aatmanirbhar Bharat Abhiyan campaign announced by the Prime Minister of India will give an impetus to the manufacturing field. Skilled Design engineers from Kerala had to migrate to Bengaluru, Pune or Chennai for job opportunities. But in the coming days companies will come to Kerala in search of Design engineers, as design is quite essential for manufacturing of any product. There exists perpetual scope for innovative products in the world. Now a day there are opportunities to develop one’s skill in the field of Design Engineering via online platforms. One can do designing job online with available technologies, because of which the technical graduates of Kerala, especially women are able to work from home or work near home.

From my experience the following are the  major skills an engineering designer should have 1. Hands-on understanding of how things work. What is wrong in India... Indians, especially the educated people have an aversion for manual work. This may be because of availability of cheap manpower, or long history of caste structure which says certain people have to do certain kind of work.

Because of this lack of inclination to hands-on learning, most of the engineering graduate who comes out of college has little skills and no hands-on experience on making things work. In skill courses, we can encourage students to have the habit of working with hands; it works best if they are solving a real world...
