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.

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.
