The Engineer and the Manager.

Hot air baloon.

A man is flying a hot air balloon and realizes he is lost. He reduces height and spots a man down below. He lowers the balloon further and shouts, "Excuse me. Can you help me? I promised my friend I would meet him a half-hour ago, but I don't know where I am." The man below says, "Yes, you are in a hot air balloon, hovering

approximately 30 feet above this field. You are between 40 and 42 degrees N. latitude, and between 58 and 60 degrees W. longitude."

"You must be an engineer," says the balloonist.

"I am," replies the man. "How did you know?"

"Well," says the balloonist, "everything you have told me is technically correct, but I have no idea what to make of your information, and the fact is I am still lost."

The man below says, "You must be a manager."

"I am," replies the balloonist, "but how did you know?"

"Well," says the man below, "you don't know where you are, or where you are going. You've made a promise which you have no idea how to keep, and you expect me to solve your problem. The fact is you are in exactly the same position you were in before we met, but now it is somehow my fault."

THE PLATFORM

SES-JKUAT welcomes you all to the new academic year (2011-2012). 

We have setup this blog site to provide a platform for interaction and exchange of ideas amongst stakeholders.

 

This year, we intend to engage in activities that promote the interest of all Engineering Students and the University community, in phase with developing a sense of personal and communal responsibility through actual participation in projects initiated by students as well as collaborate with establishments for a collective benefit.

Our magazine Progressive Engineer is set to be recharged to include a native bias and a stress on local accomplishments. We would like to celebrate home-grown talent and help identify mentors within the industry.  

We welcome your input into the activities we have planned for this year.
