Continuing Education for Engineers 


Engineers play with concepts, physical laws and economic laws.

But while interacting with engineers from industries I find that most of them have forgotten to play. And the primary reason is that the subjects of Physics and Mathematics, the bedrock of engineering are not taught properly in the formative years. And therefore these subjects are forgotten after the first few years of an engineer's professional practice.

The good news is that the interest can be revived again.

While Physics is to taught through physical models, Mathematics must be taught through physical and graphical methods.

In that way people easily remember the concepts that empowers them to play and create new things and solve existing problem.

That is what engineers are meant to do well enough to serve society.
