Subject: Recognition of The Aeronautical Society of India ceases after 31st May 2013

Dear AeSI Engineers Members,

 

All students and members are requested not to take any further admission/registration in ongoing AME Examination until MHRD Government of India & AICTE issues approval of the program.

 

As per memo issued by MHRD India Government its illegal to admit any students for Associate Membership Examination until fresh recognition is obtained from AICTE.Since March 01,2013 has been date provided by MHRD advising all Professional Societies including The Aeronautical Society of India to file fresh proposal of program delivery and recognition with AICTE.

 

Till such date recognition is obtained from AICTE new students enrolling in such programs will be doing same at own risk despite instructions from MHRD Government of India,not to allow fresh admission which was issued twice on July 10,2012 and December 06,2012.All Associate membership Examination recognition ceases after 31st May 2013.

 

As National Assessor for Professional Engineers for Engineering Council-UK IMechE(UK) Assesors and Engineers Australia  and for Professional Engineers in USA & Canada,we would review after 31st May 2013 whether this Degree holders from The Aeronautical Society of India can be permitted for Employment or Further studies in USA,UK,Europe,Australia,

Canada based on status of AeSI  with AICTE after 31st May 2013.

 

New students advised not to apply for fresh admission in any such professional degree program till fresh recognition is obtained from AICTE.

 

Kind regards

AeSI students and graduates and organizing the tour to aero India show!

Organizing the tour to aero India show for aesi students taught me two things about aesi students.

Most need the communication skills of talking over phones. In this age, when phone is the first piece of device through which a prospective employer/client will contact you. Thankfully most of the students I contacted were good in this but I found some who were zero. I got to one Mr A for whom I had to cut the phone in the middle of the call or I would have started abusing him on the phone. He was worse than bad.

His voice and tone of his language was total gawar, to use an Hindi term. And if I had to picture him by the tone of his voice, he definitely was Raghu of MTV roadies. Rude. Obnoxious.

And the second thing that I found was email isn't the most effective means of communication. Speaking directly is. No the second thing that I found was that initiative pays. A small act rewards.

Because of the limited number of passes, we couldn't send everyone who registered for the event. We short listed 10 and then added 15 more as wait listed candidates. By the way we received close to 90 registration. Thanks for your interest.

But then how initiative payed a role in all this. When I was calling the people in the wait list, some declined and some declined giving a reason for not going to make it. And some took the initiative of sending an SMS to me about there details. This not only helped me in keeping track of them, but there initiative planted their name and number on my mobile and mind. So when any of the selected/ wait listed person declined, guess who got a call from me.

So these were the two lessons I wanted to share with you all.

Be professional while talking over the phone and take initiative. You never know when something connects to something. When a small act like sending an SMS ripples back.

So what's next, if you are one of the guys who has got the opportunity to be part of the aero India show through Aesiaa, please let us know how you enjoyed it. What we did good and what can be improved. And yes share your photos, we might add to the newsletter.

Anyways. I enjoyed organizing this and talking with so many young students and minds. Hope to meet you soon.

A blind and how knowing about this will help you?

A blind old man was begging for money in a busy street corner. Next to him was an empty tin cup and a cardboard sign, 'Blind - Please help'. Very few took notice of him and fewer paid him some money. A young passerby saw the blind man and also saw that people passing by were completely unmoved, let alone stopping to give money. She took a thick marker-pen from her pocket, turned the cardboard sheet back-to-front, re-wrote the sign and then went on her way. After a while, when the cup was overflowing with coins, the blind man asked a stranger to tell him what the sign said. The stranger read, "It's a beautiful day. You can see it, but I cannot."


The story illustrates a timeless way how important choice of words and language is when we want to truly connect with and move other people.

Got reminded of this story from a recent mail from a recent AeSI graduate, who sent a angry, disorderly email to AeSIAA.

His concerns were genuine, but the email I received only conveyed his anger and nothing else. I couldn't find out what the issue was and what he was trying to communicate. I had to look beyond the assault of his email to ask the guy to send his number to talk to him.

The point is, communication either written or oral, is the biggest showcase of your professionalism. So when communicating, keep the above story in mind. The words you choose, how you say something matters. Be is soliciting help, telling your story or just sharing your opinion.

Tinkering

Tinkering. Tinkering is the polar opposite of the test-driven, results-oriented approach. It involves a loose process of trying things out, seeing what happens, reflecting and evaluating, and trying again.

This is where you start learning.

Learning to be an engineer only through highly structured and directed instructions of books and lectures is not enough. Tinkering is the way where real science happens.

This is my utmost take away from my experience at NAL as a trainee and then as graduate engineer. Prior to NAL, I was tinkering with c language, but NAL, provided me the opportunity to tinker with Matlab, Solidworks, and real experiments and so many things. I learned setting up combustion experiments, I tested and measured centrifugal compressor shaft speeds. I wrote a c program to instruct the gps of a real flying MAV. This is where the real stuff came out.

So the best advice to anyone studying in AeSI right now is to begin cultivating the tinkering mindset. Be open to tinker. Spend your non study hours not on facebook but on tinkering.

Distance BTech under threat

Recently I got this email from two people. I have forwarded the email to AeSIAA team.

If you have any more information regarding this please comment and let us know.



sir,
we r having a serious problem:-
Beware! Distance BTech under threat-
As per an order by the ministry of HRD, technical education in distance mode will now be fully regulated by AICTE. Keep an eye before applying online.

If you are planning to enrol in AMIE, AMIETE, DIPIETE or similar
correspondence courses in technical education, do wait for some time.

The Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD) has withdrawn its decision of recognising these courses in perpetuity for equivalence in
Central Government jobs.

Now the institutions conducting such courses will have to apply for
recognition from the statutory regulator, that is, AICTE in this case,
and it will decide about the new regulations for them.

What is the issue?

An order dated 10/07/2012 by MHRD says, "All those students who are
enrolled with the institutions with permanent recognition up to
31.05.2013 would be eligible for consideration in accordance with MHRD office memorandum/ order in force pertaining to their course for
equivalence in Central Government jobs.

However, these concerned orders will cease to have effect from
01.06.2013 onwards.

After 31.05.2013, based on the review by the regulator i.e. AICTE, a
decision on continuation of the certification of equivalence of
degree/diploma shall be taken by statutory regulator.

And the statutory regulators should review the fresh proposals/
extension as per their statute and regulations." The HRD notification means that now the institutes concerned conducting courses in correspondence mode will have to take approval from AICTE before June 1, 2013 to make sure that the students enrolled after May 31, 2013, could pursue well approved courses.

But another issue which comes up here is that AICTE presently does not
recognise correspondence courses, so it will have to make new policy
for such courses. AICTE has already started working on new regulations.

AICTE chairman Dr SS Mantha shares, "Currently AICTE does not recognise distance/correspondence courses in technical education. But many institutions including some universities are running these courses on the basis of perpetual approval given by MHRD."

"Now After the recent order given by MHRD, AICTE will make rules and
regulations regarding this," he added.

AICTE had earlier appointed a committee headed by Prof Anandkrishnan and on the basis of the recommendations of that committee, it will make regulations for distance learning in technical education.

"By March, we should be able to release the handbook of procedures and regulations for the conduct of technical education either in distance
or hybrid or blended mode", says Mantha. Shocked by the MHRD's decision, institutions says that they will now respond only after the publication of AICTE guidelines.

"We would apply to AICTE for approval and would abide by its guidelines and regulations," says the spokesperson of The Institution of Surveyors.

Some other institutes say that they would apply as soon as possible.

......................................................................................................................

frm internal sources,i got d info dat,as usual AeSI officials are not
serious on dis issue. its question of career of thousands of student. so PLZzz.. its my humble request 2 u to forward our query to AeSIAA & AeSI HQ.

What Separates Masters and Amateurs and how to attain mastery?

By nature, we humans shrink from anything that seems possibly painful or overtly difficult. We bring this natural tendency to our practice of any skill. Once we grow adept at some aspect of this skill, generally one that comes more easily to us, we prefer to practice this element over and over. Our skill becomes lopsided as we avoid our weaknesses. Knowing that in our practice we can let down our guard, since we are not being watched or under pressure to perform, we bring to this a kind of dispersed attention. We tend to also be quite conventional in our practice routines. We generally follow what others have done, performing the accepted exercises for these skills.

 

This is the path of amateurs. To attain mastery, you must adopt what we shall call Resistance Practice. The principle is simple—you go in the opposite direction of all of your natural tendencies when it comes to practice.

 

First, you resist the temptation to be nice to yourself. You become your own worst critic; you see your work as if through the eyes of others. You recognize your weaknesses, precisely the elements you are not good at. 


Those are the aspects you give precedence to in your practice. You find a kind of perverse pleasure in moving past the pain this might bring. Second, you resist the lure of easing up on your focus. You train yourself to concentrate in practice with double the intensity, as if it were the real thing times two. In devising your own routines, you become as creative as possible. You invent exercises that work upon your weaknesses. You give yourself arbitrary deadlines to meet certain standards, constantly pushing yourself past perceived limits. In this way you develop your own standards for excellence, generally higher than those of others.

 

In the end, your five hours of intense, focused work are the equivalent of ten for most people. Soon enough you will see the results of such practice, and others will marvel at the apparent ease in which you accomplish your deeds.

 

 

 

From the book Mastery by Robert Greene.
