Engineers are the backbone of Nation Building

Engineers are not just glorified technicians in maintenance, repairs and operations. An engineer devises solutions to problems in a clever and creative manner. They are the link between scientific discoveries and the application of these new ideas to the world. Their main focus is on making things work efficiently and effectively by applying the theories and principles of sciences and mathematics to research, and develop economic solutions to technical problems. An engineer differs from a scientist by the nature of their training. While the scientists try to explore the natural world and discover new knowledge about the universe and how it works, engineers apply that knowledge to solve real problems, often with an eye toward improving efficiency and reducing cost. The purpose of engineering is to innovate, design, create and maintain products, system and equipment for the benefit and wellbeing of human beings. Their works are the connection between the perceived social needs and economic applications. They are the bridge between science and art. The purpose of engineering is to innovate, design, create and maintain products, systems and equipment for the benefit and wellbeing of human beings.
If a country fails to realize the role of engineers in nation-building and their leaving the country for better opportunities abroad, then the country will continue to experience collapsed buildings and bridges, substandard products, failed roads, communication failures and epileptic power supply.
Role of Engineers in Nation Building
Meanwhile, as nations in the world are undergoing reformation and the economy is getting more modernized, consumption patterns have expanded and demand is constantly on the increase. There is, therefore, a growing consciousness of quality control at every level of production. The engineers have to realize their responsibility and play an effective role in tackling today�s complex issues in the nation building. To build a nation is to make it habitable for the citizenry by providing social amenities, infrastructural facilities, job creation, security and many more. Thus, they are duty bound to design products, machineries and plants to manufacture these products, and systems to ensure quality and efficiency. The engineers on their part should be proud of what they do and contribute effectively towards the growth of their country and the world.
