Hello Readers,

 

i am writing this because i am feeling now so much passion to writing this story that did make huge impact on my mind this is the story that is also responsible for open my eye about what is engineering exactly and which kind of aspect every engineers should have. write me any feedback that comes to your mind. after reading this.


This is the story about one man who wants to startup his own timber business and looking for some person that do cut some lumber in the forest. and he had two candidate one is Labor with Muscular Physics and another is recently passed out diploma Cutting and Fabrication Engineer with not that much Physical Strength. After taking an interview of both of them. He become confuse that which side he should go for.


because Labor was asking just for 5000 rupees per month and that Engineer was asking for 10,000 rupees per month he did not able to take decision rationally so he decided to hire both of them just for experiment and find conclusion that which side he should go for. and he assign task to both of them to cut the lumber with axe.

 

1st day labor did cut 7 logs and Engineer did 3 only

2nd day labor did cut 7 logs again and Engineer did 3 only

3rd day labor did cut 6 logs again and Engineer did 4 only

4th day as same as 3rd day

.....

after 14 days passed

15th day labor did cut 3 and Engineer did 7

 

After getting this shocking reverse observation that businessman did call both of them and ask what happening with them.


Then labor did replied he is doing 3 times more hard work then before but still he can't able to score because his time is not running well, or god is not with his or may be his luck is not with him.


Then he did ask same question to Engineer then he reply that in starting days he become tired early so he was not able to score higher. but then he got practiced so he able to improve his score.

But still confusion of that business man did not cleared so he did switch their axes with each other.


and then both score was near to equal Engineers score was one down then Labor and he said that axe blade was not sharp enough to cut the lumber so he did take long time to make it sharpen by rubbing it between stone. and than that Business man ask same question to the Labor and he replied that he did not instructed to do so.


Then that business man was cleared that if he want more profit with aspect of long time then he should hire Engineers then Labor.

After then engineer did suggest to use Chainsaw with electric motor instead of Axe so he can do better.

So this should be an Aspect of Engineering to upgrade the present situation with more felicities with applying scientific knowledge in progressive direction ( ofcours with limitation that it should not harm an environment i am aware of forest devastation due to timber business and Minamata pollution and etc...).


I am writing this because nower days in India Engineering is just to go college and study subject and passing examinations and score in that for earning degrees instead of Gaining knowledge and apply it for do or create something that matters.



This Story did help me to earning Engineering Aspect I hope it help you to all as well.


Thanks For Reading it Till end.

please share your reviews

Engineering thinking is a systematic approach to problem-solving that draws on principles of engineering to address complex issues efficiently and effectively. It involves critical and analytical thinking, creativity, and a structured methodology to design, test, and implement solutions.

Key Components of Engineering Thinking



Problem Identification and Analysis


  • Defining the Problem: Clearly identifying the problem to understand its scope and impact.
  • Analyzing Requirements: Determining the needs and constraints associated with the problem to guide the solution process.

Research and Data Collection
  • Gathering Information: Collecting relevant data and researching existing solutions and technologies.
  • Benchmarking: Comparing current solutions to industry standards and best practices to identify areas for improvement.

Idea Generation and Conceptualization
  • Brainstorming: Encouraging creative thinking to generate a wide range of potential solutions.
  • Concept Development: Refining ideas into feasible concepts that can be further analyzed and tested.

Design and Prototyping
  • Detailed Design: Creating detailed plans and specifications for the chosen solution.
  • Prototyping: Building prototypes or models to test and refine the design.

Testing and Evaluation
  • Testing: Conducting rigorous tests to evaluate the performance and reliability of the solution.
  • Analysis and Feedback: Analyzing test results and gathering feedback to make necessary adjustments and improvements.
Implementation and Deployment
  • Final Production: Transitioning from prototype to final product or solution, ensuring it meets all requirements.
  • Deployment: Implementing the solution in the real-world context and monitoring its performance.

Iteration and Continuous Improvement
  • Feedback Loop: Continuously collecting feedback and performance data to identify areas for further enhancement.
  • Iterative Design: Making iterative improvements to refine and optimize the solution over time.

Applications of Engineering Thinking in Everyday Life



Home Improvement Projects: Using systematic problem-solving to plan and execute home renovations efficiently.


Personal Finance Management: Applying analytical skills to create and maintain budgets, and to make informed investment decisions.


Workplace Efficiency: Implementing engineering principles to streamline workflows, enhance productivity, and foster innovation.



Benefits of Engineering Thinking



Enhanced Problem-Solving Skills: Developing a structured approach to tackle complex issues.


Improved Creativity and Innovation: Encouraging creative thinking and the exploration of diverse solutions.


Better Decision-Making: Making informed decisions based on thorough analysis and testing.


Increased Efficiency and Effectiveness: Streamlining processes and optimizing resources.

ConclusionEngineering thinking equips individuals with the skills and mindset to approach problems methodically and creatively. Whether in professional settings or everyday life, adopting engineering thinking can lead to more effective solutions and continuous improvement.


By understanding and applying the principles of engineering thinking, everyone can enhance their ability to solve problems, innovate, and contribute to building a better future.
