Take pride in AeSI

Hi everybody

 

Once again I will be posting a mail that Bishnujee has posted in the aesi club. I liked the stuff and appreciate the work being done for the aesi folks. A big thank you to him and other for working towards that…..

 

So without much adieu here’s the mail. I have highlighted the portion I liked best and believe in.

 

“

Thanks for your highlighted problems.There has been numerous reasons behind very low pass percentage.Poor teaching and training centres and adequate facilities not at disposal to AeSI Students.I had been in AeSI Program after my fresh pass out after Matriculation and so had to pass AeSI Studentship along with Sec A & B.That has 5 subjects of AeSI Studentship along with Sec A & B.Those days in mid 90s IIT Chennai numerous Staffs from Aerospace Dept used to actively support teaching and training program for AeSI Coursework.So we used to have best of teaching stuffs.Things have changed since these professors retired from IIT Chennai and now AeSI students have to deal with new modified syllabus course work which cannot be completed in decent time frame unless teaching and practical facilities of University level is provided to AeSI Students.I don't know whether this was discussed by AeSI Governing council when they decided to go for new syllabus.Until this problem is resolved passing percntage will continue to remain low.

 

Also Students joining AeSI program should be recommended that they have certain pre-requisite course work upto certain standard level to pursue the program.Students shouldn't forget that the AeSI program and career they are entering into is application of Physics and Mathematics stuffs.Unless they are very strong in these subjects there success rate will be low.

 

Even those AeSI Students who are passing out with less than 60% should have decent career option after same and this stuffs need to be reviewed by AeSI Officials with Universities under UGC in India and also with recruitement official of Indian Aerospace firms.I am sure that they could come up with some sort of decision which would help the students Graduating out to pursue decent career.

 

AeSI Students and Graduates along with AeSI Officials are requested to co-ordinate with each other to promote and have better future for AeSI Students & Graduate and these can only be resolved by mutual discussion and better co-ordination.There will be no progress by criticising each other and self destructive crticism of AeSI and its officials.AeSI Students and Graduates should bear in mind that there identity is through being AeSI Graduate and if they don't take pride in whatever they are doing with AeSI,then no one would be respecting them and they would never be able to grow.

 

As all of you must be aware that currently I am involved with Engineers Mobility Forum in UK & USA and Professional Licensing Board in USA to ensure that all Indian Qualifications are recognised at same level as any of the local US & UK Qualifications.Things have been going out in favourable direction and we hope the future should be better for new generation.

 

AM Qualification should be covered with concurrence Bachelor Degree in Engineering and this is urgent need of hour and AeSI Officials should look into this matter seriously and I am sure that there is no better person that Air Cmde Raghubir Singh to take up this issue with AeSI Officials.

 

I would actively request all AeSI Students & Graduates to support Air Cmde Singh in his mission for growth of AeSI program and I believe he understands all of you people concern better than many other people in Aerospace Industry and I would be glad to see him in AeSI Academic wing in time to come.

Do you want to hear the sound that marked the beginning of the Space Age

Yesterday October 4^th marked the 50^th year of beginning of space age!

 

"Beep… beep… beep...." That's the sound that marked the beginning of the Space Age fifty years ago. It was a simple radio tone transmitted by the first satellite, Sputnik 1, as it orbited Earth in October 1957.

Space age is 50 today !!

Fifty years ago this week — on October 4, 1957, to be exact — a 100-tonne rocket blasted off from the steppes of Kazakhstan, then a part of the Soviet Union, and placed in orbit the first artificial satellite to girdle the globe. It weighed 83 kg, was roughly the size of a basketball and its beeps, as it circled the planet every 98 minutes, signalled the dawn of the Space Age.

Coming as it did, at the height of the Cold War, it also triggered off what was to be become a bitterly fought Space Race between the U.S. and the Soviet Union, that ended only when the Soviet Union itself broke up, leading the new Russia as well as the U.S. to join hands with other nations to create an International Station.

I like statistics and enjoy playing and tinkering with numbers. Since this time Aeronautical society of India robbed me the please by withholding the pass and fail percentage, so I thought of tinkering with the numbers that I have from the OURAeSI club. So I gathered them at one place so that you can have a better nay a bird’s eye view of what’s happening in OURAeSI.

 

This is the raw data I gathered. So make your own conclusions.

 

We are 960+ strong community. Would like to see it cross 1000 mark soon. It’s been long that I am seeing this number.

 

 

3 suggestions from an avionics engineer for AeSI students

As you might know, I am not an avionics guy. It's propulsion that I have craved and marked my distinction. So when I came across several queries on avionics related stuff. First thing I did was to send a mail to my seniors who I know are into avionics and working in reputed avionics firms doing avionics related.

So Kapil bhaiya is one of them and he is in HONEYWELL, for which I can safely say "Honeywell, a dream company for an avionics guy!" So he was kind enough to reply me on 3 things that he thought avionics students of AeSI should do.


In India, all companies related to Avionics are doing software related projects. So one must have a good c and c++ knowledge... As you might remember in my earlier post I also noticed this same fact. He also added "...in Avionics "Ada" language is also there but one can’t learn that out side. Development is very rare only in DRDO labs." So I guess he suggested that if you get training in this labs then its good to work on that ADA!


Second thing he noted is that Avionics is all about Navigation and Instruments. So, one should know these instruments. Read about them. Avionic books are filled with them so carry on with it.

Thirdly he pointed out that whatever be your stream, avionics, aerodynamics or propulsion. At the basic level you are leveled as aerospace engineer, so a good knowledge of principles of flight is expected from you. So keep your principle of flights book handy and carry. This is the place where most of the interview’s technical questions will come from....

Well this are the 3 things he said that one must have so folks, thought the advice is specific to avionics folks but every aeronautical society of India student can benefit from it. Right from your study day’s one can hone this things.

Good luck folks and big thank you to Kapil bhaiya for sharing his views. Thanks a lot!!

5 tips for studying for exams
How to eliminate Worries and confusions during training

What to write in your cover letter?

Tell me which one will give you better response.




Case 1:


You found a good article from net; you printed it out and gave it to your friend or roommate. Hey read this.




Case 2:


You found a good article. You printed it and gave you friends to read, but before giving it you told him what is in the article and what excited you to share this with him?




So in which case will you get a better response from your friend? The answer is obvious; the second one.




Let’s analyze why? Since you gave an intro, your friend got a direction to know what to look for; your introduction paved the path for him and when he noticed the point you mentioned, he got a hook on it. So that way he is before hand well informed about what to see in the article.




So you see, sending a resume without cover letter is just like that. A resume introduced through cover letter is much more effective in communicating and connecting you than a single bland resume.




This not only distinguises you but also paves a way for you to set the direction in which the employer should look when he sees your resume.




So a cover letter is must. Don't ever send a bare resume if you want a response.




So what are the things you should include in cover letter?




First of all, state for what position you are applying for. Include it with a sentence that shows why you consider yourself competent for the post.



Second paragraph should mention the skills that you want to highlight from your resume, to the employer. Put it in such a way to show how that skill is conforming to his requirement.



Thirdly point out the work experience if you have any that shows and is related to the work requirement. Emphasize in quantitative terms.



Lastly in the concluding remark state why you feel your skills and work experience fit the requirement.



While writing cover letter, always try to include something about the company, so that the recruiter knows that you know about the company and the work.






Don't over flow your cover letter with al the skills that you have; just use it to give him a hint of what’s in store in the resume.


A successful cover letter is the one which emphasizes the right skills and piques the interest of the employer to see the resume.




Best of luck




Write a successful resume!
