Technical Education

 

Technical Education

Education having special techniques and knowledge using different tools to produce engineering products is called Technical Education. Engineers can not complete any engineering project without technical people having special technical knowledge and experience.

Engineering Fields

Before more discussion about technical Education we should know about different engineering fields where technical education can be utilized.

So there are some main engineering fields utilize technical people.  

1-Civil Engineering,

2-Mechanical Engineering,

 3-Electrical Engineering,

4-Instrumentation Engineering,

5- Mechatronics Engineering,

6-Architecture Engineering,

7- Metallurgical Engineering,

8- Refrigeration Engineering,

9- Chemical Engineering,

10- Computer Engineering,

11- Environmental Engineering,

12-Biomedical Engineering,

13- Aerospace Engineering,

14-Automotive Engineering,

15- Electronics Engineering,

16- Robotics Engineering,

17- Agricultural Engineering,

18-Paper Engineering

19-Petroleum Engineering,

20-Geological Engineering

21-Marine Engineering

22- Nuclear Engineering

23-Minning Engineering

24- Geomatics Engineering,

Perhaps there is no business that can be done without using technical knowledge and technical resources. In the industrial production process different skilled persons works with their knowledge and experience, Engineers provide design ideas using their scientific knowledge and Technicians provide middle-level supervision to artisans to make the products.

Technical skills involve engineering implementations using the proper methodology, and engineering standards. Technically skilled people are backbone of any industry they are result oriented people and works for business profitability and futuristic growth of industries.

Artisan is a skilled worker who uses their hands and tools to make different machines and products, they work efficiently under the supervision of technically educated people.

Technical people (Technicians and Technologists) behaves like a bridge between designers (Engineers) and Artisans. Technical Individuals  transforms engineering and scientific knowledge to uneducated  Artisans and ensures the accuracy and required  standards in production.

Who are Technical People?

After matriculation technical people passed through three-year diploma which is called (DAE) Diploma of Associate Engineer and this diploma course is recognized worldwide. There is further educational degree after DAE whose name is B-Tech or BS in Technology and holding this level degree any individual can work as Engineer.

Why Technical Education is needed

It is observed that people having scientific education and even only engineering education cannot perform supervision because of having less Technological skills.

The nations who promoted Technological people with respect and equality are more progressive instead of those countries that only gave respect to white-collar engineers who are habitual to sit in offices and only doing documentation.

Many progressive countries like Australia Technicians and Technologists are treated on both levels like their Engineering councils accept them as an engineer and also as a Technologist, I believe Australia is the best country to consider the level of equality and respect for the people who build the nations.

Technical Education contributes 80 % to 90 % in Any Engineering Project.

In any industry it has been observed that Technical people contribute 80 -90 % of their time in completion of any project or product because they are the only people who can perform basic engineering activities more concisely and perfectly rather than of engineers who only holds scientific and theoretic knowledge.

Technical people hold keys for each activity so that is the reason they are also called key supervisors.

In civil engineering it is observed that most of the surveying jobs are completed by technical people as they are physically strong and fit to work in any weather. Engineers work on these survey reports and design the products having all solutions for the problems confronted by society.  

Engineer can't be a good Technologist But A Technologist can be a Good Engineer.

It is observed that Technologists are more effective in performing engineering activities but due to lack of technical skills engineers cannot perform most of the field works. Industries have promotional policies for technologists after years of experience and time. Technologists can be better managers than engineers because they know a lot of root-level knowledge and the working capacity of artisans.

Technical Education for growth of nations.

Technical  education should be promoted globally to provide more employability and economic sustainability to poor nations. I think specially designed schools should be established to produce Technical people and only technical people should be promoted to engineering degrees to supervise and design the industries more effectively.

Technical people should be facilitated with online low-cost degree programs because it has been observed that they are treated to work only on junior positions and engineering lobbies are enjoying higher salaries only because of their favorable job policies in many countries.

Morality and equality are bookish words that are only reserved for a special class of wealthy people to become an Engineer or Doctor standing on the heads of Technical people.
